Potato

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This gorgeous girl is aptly named Potato due to her spud-like physique. Potato is estimated to be around 12 years old and she came to us after her elderly owner was no longer able to take care of her. Potato came to us at a hefty 45 lbs and is now currently 35 lbs! She's looking for a family who will help her maintain her healthy lifestyle. Potato is used to having someone home most of the day, so she would greatly benefit from an adopter who is retired or works from home. She loves her people greatly and experiences some separation anxiety when she is left alone. Potato is fostered with children and other dogs and does great. She's a chunky girl who loves her food and would benefit from being separated while feeding (so she doesn't try to fight for her fur siblings' food)! Watch Potato in action here: https://youtube.com/shorts/gqFwlgUEKOYhttps://youtube.com/shorts/vEdWPdeYqKU House trained: Yes Leash trained: Yes. She loves going on walks! She'll get excited if we pass other dogs and try to go towards them. But she really doesn't move to fast and she's easy to control.Kennel trained: No - she does not like her kennel, but she's not destructive.Rides well in a car: Yep, she's happy to go on car rides.Good with other dogs: Yes - she can be a bit of a bully to small dogs but does well with medium/large dogs Good with cats: Not fostered with cats, but we think she'd do fine.Good with young children (under 10): Yes, she's fostered with kids under 5 - does best with children who will respect her boundaries Shy or confident: Confident. She's not shy with visitors and will approach them for attention.Barks: Yes, if "her person" has left. If "her person" is with her, she's as quiet as a mouseApartment qualified: No due to separation anxiety barking Special needs or health concerns: Potato recently had a dental cleaning and senior bloodwork. Everything looks age-appropriate! She might have some diminished hearing but it doesn't impact her day-to-day. We believe Potato is a small/medium-sized mix and is around 12 years old. She is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $200 which helps cover the cost of vetting procedures. Adoptable pets will have received age-appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, heartworm test (if applicable) and a spay/neuter. If you’re interested in adopting this puppy/dog, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days). We are 100% volunteer staffed and will respond to your email as soon as possible. After you have submitted an and been approved, we will set up a meet and greet between you and the puppy/dog.

Cleo

Pomeranian

Female, 1 yr 8 mos

LINCOLN, NE

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Say hi to Cleo! At 15 lbs and 1.5 years old, Cleo is a great little dog. She loves people and is happy to be a part of the party. She has shown great house manners in her foster home, going potty outside, adjusting to sleeping in a kennel, and chewing on appropriate toys. Cleo is affectionate and will hop onto the couch to snuggle with you as you settle in for some TV. Cleo is not fostered with cats or kids, so we can't say for certain how she would do around them. She jumps some, so we would suggest an adults-only home or a family with older children would be best. Cleo enjoys the company of the mellow dogs in her foster home but has also been known to have "little dog syndrome" where she tries to pick fights. Because of this, we would prefer for her to be the only dog in the home or adopted to a home who has a VERY submissive dog. House trained: YesLeash trained: YesKennel trained: Yes - barks a little at first, but getting betterRides well in a car: YesGood with other dogs: Does well with calm, non-reactive dogs in her foster home but is definitely an instigator, so we'd be most comfortable with her as an only petGood with cats: Unknown Good with young children (under 10): Would do best with older kidsShy or confident: Shy/unsure initially but warms up quickly Barks: Sometimes in kennel or if dogs around her are barking Apartment qualified: Right now no due to some barking Health concerns or special needs: None We believe Cleo is a pomeranian mix and was born around 7-1-2024. She is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $300 which helps cover the cost of vetting procedures. Adoptable pets will have received age-appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, heartworm test (if applicable) and a spay/neuter. If you’re interested in adopting this puppy/dog, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days).

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Chester: Your Future Tiny Tyrant Listen… we’ve written a lot of adoption posts. We've done our best to keep things pawsitive for all our adoptables, but Chester deserves a legendary introduction, and we are here to deliver. At first glance, he’s a 20-pound cutie with big eyes and a “take me home!” face. Do not be fooled. This is a land shark in a dog suit. Chester is the kind of dog who was clearly told he was perfect one too many times. Boundaries? Never met her. Rules? Not in his house. Your stuff? Also his stuff. Want to crate him? You'd have better luck wrestling an alligator back into the swamp. Chester’s hobbies include: *Fluffing his mohawk to up his street cred *Testing your reflexes *Staring into your soul to see if you’re weak *Being 20 pounds of unearned confidence He needs an adult‑only home and someone who can look him dead in the eye and say, “Not today, sir.” Think Mother of Dragons energy, but with treats and structure. The good news? He loves men. Perhaps a lifelong bachelor could continue his education in “How Not to Be a Tiny Menace 101.” Chester isn’t for everyone. He isn’t even for most people. But for the right, brave, chaos‑loving human, he might just be the funniest, spiciest little project you’ve ever taken on. Serious inquiries only. No, we will not make exceptions. No takesy‑backsies (okay fine, but please don’t). Chester is a Dachshund/mix who was was born approximately 11-19-18. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $250 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website. Our Adoption Team will respond via email from DollysLegacyAdoptions@gmail.com once you have completed an application. If a pet is still listed, it is not yet adopted as we update daily.

ROSIE

Foxhound Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult

Lincoln, NE

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rosie is the perfect mix of love, loyalty, and spunk, with a big personality that shines through in everything she does. She’s expressive and affectionate—nudging for attention, curling up beside you on the couch, or even squeezing between your legs for a stand-up snuggle-hug—and she’ll “talk” like Scooby-Doo when she has something on her mind. Smart and eager to please, Rosie learned “sit” right away and is very trainable with food or affection. She’s completely housetrained, can hold her bladder all day, and does well left loose in the home. Rosie enjoys walks and dog-park play, but she likes to be in charge and can resource guard food, water, or toys, so she’ll thrive with an experienced owner who can set clear boundaries. She’ll do best in a cat-free home and with children over 10, since she’s protective of her family and can get mouthy when she plays. Rosie is also a vocal girl—she’ll bark to alert you of visitors and keen for a few minutes when left alone—so she needs a home where her voice won’t be a problem, though her big bark makes her a reassuring walking companion. She is finishing up heartworm treatment and will soon be ready to shower her forever family with devotion, fun, and the warm, wiggly love she brings to everyone she meets. ✅ Loves to play & be active ✅ National Canine Karaoke Champion - no apartments ✅ Fenced yard preferred for ample romp time Rosie was found as a starving young mother dog with four puppies that she was desperately trying to care for. She was brought into rescue along with her beautiful babies who have all been adopted. Now it's mama's turn for her happy ever after! Rosie is a Foxhound who was was born approximately 6-01-23 and weighs 75 lbs. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed. Rosie has completed heartworm treatment and must remain on monthly heartworm preventative (as all dogs should) and needs an adopter who will commit to being ontop of that for her. Adoption fee is $400 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website.
