Story
THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Prince is a purebred Westie puppy born 11/13/25 that is seeking an active family who will include him in their daily activities and adventures. Fearless and full of life, this pup is very busy and active...will need both physical and mental stimulation to assist in his development into a well-balanced member of your family. Puppies are adorable, fun, and require a lot of work and attention. Prince's life span is 13-15 years so please take into consideration where you will be in life 15 years from now. Prince will do best with a playful canine companion and a securely fenced yard, as terriers can never be trusted off leash. He will be neutered, microchipped, and have age appropriate vaccinations prior to adoption. The suggested adoption donation for Prince is a minimum of $700 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information

Pomeranian/Husky

Lincoln, NE
Size

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Due to some allergies in the family, I need to rehome Rory. She is anxious and needs an experience adopter that can work with her, she is reactive to other dogs while on a leash, I have not introduced to any dogs off leash as I have only had her for 3 weeks, I adopted her from the Lincoln Humane Society, not knowing all her fluff would be an issue. She loves her people, and even though she is a senior at 8 years old, she does still have a lot of pep in her step, and being part husky can be quite vocal. She would be best with a home without small children due to her anxiety
