Story
Cecil is a purebred English Springer Spaniel puppy. He's was born 3/2025. He's a great loyal puppy. High energy, he likes walks and chasing tennis balls. He did some obedience classes and follows several commands well. He's an active chewer, likes kongs, balls, ropes - has not chewed furniture or anything he isn't supposed to. He does become excitable when visitors come over and often jumps, actively working on this with him. I do have a cat, he does ok with him, although he sometimes feels like chasing the cat around. I have had nephews visit, he does ok with kids, gets over excited, the jumping is the only issue. Cecil enjoys going to dog daycare a few times a month at Royuk Ranch in Valley. He has boarded there and does great. Very dog friendly. Only looking to rehome sadly, due to busy work schedule. Cecil would be a great dog for an active person. Looking for an adopter that will continue training with him and become a forever home. He's a great loving dog.

Story
It breaks our hearts to say this, but we’re searching for a new home for our sweet boy, Panda. Panda is an incredibly loving, energetic dog with a huge heart. He’s smart, eager to please, and quickly learns new things—he already knows commands like “lay down” and “shake.” He truly thrives on connection and attention from his people. He absolutely lights up during playtime, especially with his favorite skunk toy or any ball. Watching him run and play brings so much joy—he has a special way of brightening a home. This has been a very difficult decision, made out of love and a desire to do what’s best for him. We are also expecting, and won't have the proper time to train a young pup and raise a baby. Panda would do best as the only male dog in a home where he can receive all the time, attention, and affection he deserves. We’re hoping to find a person or family who will love him as much as we do. Please reach out if you think you could be the right home for Panda ❤️

Story
Athena is a beautiful sable merle Sheltie who was saved from puppy mill. She has been in foster care for a year and a half now. She has learned that humans can be trusted, though she is still skittish. She has some basic obedience. She will come up for pets and snacks once she trusts you! Athena is reactive and resource protective, so should be an only dog. She will bond to her human. She should be an only dog. We are looking for someone within a 2 hour radius of the Omaha area to adopt Athena. Please note that a fence is required.

Story
Teeter is a beautiful, affectionate Black Lab mix (born 2022) with a big heart and an even bigger desire to bond with her people. She’s housebroken, crate trained, cat friendly, active, and loves to give kisses. She enjoys walks, fetch, and being part of a quiet, predictable household where she can relax and feel safe. Her Personality Affectionate & Sweet: She loves her people and shows it with kisses and closeness. Active & Playful: Fetch and outdoor time are her favorite ways to burn energy. A big yard to run would be perfect for her. Nervous in Busy Environments: Loud noises, chaos, and especially small children make her anxious. Cat Friendly: She does well with feline companions. Leash Trained & Knows Commands Crate Trained (although doesn't love spending time there) Teeter struggles with anxiety when left alone and also around small children - she becomes visibly stressed. She would do best in a low traffic home. Unknown how she does with other dogs.

Story
🐾 Meet Brie 🐾 Young (under 2 years old) | Spayed Female | White Pit Bull Terrier Brie is a young, beautiful Pit Bull Terrier who is still very much a work in progress—and looking for the right person to help her shine. She came to us as a police intake after an incident where her lack of training led to accidental injuries to her owner. Brie is not aggressive, but she is jumpy and very mouthy, which tells us she simply hasn’t been taught appropriate boundaries yet. With structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Brie has a lot of potential to grow into a wonderful companion. At the shelter, Brie has been timid and scared, likely overwhelmed by everything she’s been through. Despite this, she has done well with other dogs so far, showing appropriate behavior in our controlled environment. Her interactions with cats and children are currently unknown. ✨ What Brie Needs An adopter committed to basic obedience training Someone experienced with strong, energetic dogs or willing to work with a trainer A calm, patient home that understands she’s still learning Consistency, structure, and clear expectations 💛 The Right Fit Brie would do best with an adopter who understands that training isn’t a setback—it’s an opportunity. She’s young, impressionable, and capable of learning with the right guidance. Watching her gain confidence and manners will be incredibly rewarding for the right person. If you’re looking for a dog you can grow with and help shape into her best self, Brie might be your girl. 📍 Interested in meeting Brie? Please submit an application and we’ll be in touch to discuss whether she may be a good fit for your home and lifestyle.
