Story
Freya is a sweet tricolor Sheltie who had a rough start to life. She was confined to a small place with 30 other dogs and had little human interaction. In foster care, she has learned that humans are safe, but she is still very shy! She will need an adopter who will be willing to work with her and build her confidence. She will also need another dog to show her the ropes. We are looking for someone within a 2 hour radius of the Omaha NE area to adopt Freya. Please note that a fence is required. You can read more about Freya or apply for her at https://nesheltierescue.org/doggyinfo.php?dog=23

Story
Athena is a beautiful sable merle Sheltie who was saved from puppy mill. She has been in foster care for several months now learning how to trust humans and to be a pet. She is very shy and does not like to be approached. But she will come up for pets and snacks! Athena likes to play with other dogs, but unfortunately, she is also extremely resource protective. 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
Rosie is loving and loyal. She is motivated by treats and making her person happy and is trainable. Rosie is house trained, crate trained. She doesn’t mind her crate and can also be trusted in the house when you’re away. Rosie can walk on a leash but can also pull when she sees something. We are asking that her adopter have a fenced yard for her to safely do zoomies. Rosie can demonstrate bad manners when greeting and may be too much for kids under 10. She has lived in a house with 3 older children (10+) her whole life with no issues. Rosie loves people and has never been aggressive to any human - family or strangers (just sometimes over excitable, jumps, etc) Rosie does not like other dogs and can be dominant. Rosie will need a home where she is the only dog. Despite being adopted at the same time, she and her “sister” dog can no longer live together because they frequently scuffle and Rosie has some scars to show. She has been well cared and has no lingering issues.

Story
My name is Murphy and I am a gorgeous brindle boy.  Per my DNA test I'm 37% American pitbull terrier, 12% Australian cattle dog and 7% Labrador retriever. I am a good boy, sadly I've been at the shelter for a long time :( and here is what you need to know:  I need a home with a great leader who can continue my current routines, I'm kennel trained and muzzle trained if you live in an area where i need to wear a muzzle to go for walk. I know sit, down, wait, I love walks and hikes, car rides, belly rubs under the sun, eating ice, doing zoomies on the snow, and I love people!  I have a high prey drive so no small dogs or cats for me. I like children but I think it's best that I live with older ones as I might be a little too strong for them. If you think I can come to your house and show you what a good boy I am, please reach out and let's meet!   Thank you!!!  Love, Murphy.  Thanks to our amazing Angel Sponsors, our long term pups now come with reduced adoption fees, alleviating financial road blocks for some, and making it even easier to open your heart and home to a furry friend. The adoption fee is $100 plus tax and covers age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter and a home training session.  Applications are typically worked in time stamp order based on date/time of submission.  If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee.  It may save you a trip to bring them with you when you visit, if you are certain you want to adopt a new family member. *****We are currently operating by appointment only during the social distancing stage of quarantine.   If you want to meet this pet, or are interested in adopting, please submit an inquiry or email to tchspapillion@gmail.com. Someone from the rescue will contact you and/or your family and determine, on a broad level, whether you might be a fit for the animal.  If so, they will provide instructions for completing the application. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted to set up a time to meet at the shelter or the foster home.   The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the dog counselors or the foster.   If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit.

Story
My story will break your heart but perhaps knowing some of the details would allow me to take credit for how far I've come in my healing journey.  My future is bright with a forever family who will show me the grace, love and consistency I need for success.  While I love to play with most other dogs, there are times when too much stimulation contributes to temporary insanity.  My humans will need to read my clues and advocate for my needs.  That may mean quiet time in a kennel or supervised couch snuggles.  My walking skills are improving remarkably but there are days when I'll need shorter, more frequent walks as opposed to one long walk. When my forever family establishes a consistent routine for me, kindly redirects my missteps and constantly rewards my wins,  my devotion, love and appreciation will overflow.  For more information, please email us at tchsPapillion@gmail.com or visit https://townandcountryhumanesociety.org/adopt/ Thanks to our amazing Angel Sponsors, our long term pups now come with reduced adoption fees, alleviating financial road blocks for some, and making it even easier to open your heart and home to a furry friend.
