Story
I’ve had Pearl for four months. I got her from the Humane Society where someone found her wandering the streets. Pearl is a sweetheart. She has a ton of energy. She loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. She loves to give kisses, too! She deserves a better home where she can get the exercise she needs. Pearl does okay with one cat in our home, but she definitely needs more training. She deserves to be loved, she is a very good dog. She needs a new home that can give her the attention she requires. Pearl is energetic, playful, sweet, and loving

Story
Nonna is almost 2, She is a 70-pound love bug. She's loyal and extremely cautious of new people.Nonna would need an experienced human; she loves meeting new people and dogs but is a bit reactive. So, someone who is willing to train her would really get to see her full potential.She is eager to please and very much a sweetheart. I would not have her around cats without an extensive introduction.She has been raised with older children her entire life, again, a meet and greet would be required. She is a very cautious girl. You would have to be patient and willing to build her trust.

Story
Lincoln is an amazing dog. We adopted him when he was 1 year old at the humane society. We loved him and cared for him so well. When we had kids, then opened up a family business, we found him more and more to be an inconvenience and don't have the time to love and care for him like he needs. He is INCREDIBLE around our toddlers. They poke and prod him and he doesn't react. He has never had a bad reaction to people or children. His three faults are: 1.He's a runner. He doesn't look to run anymore but if a door is left open, he will wander away. 2. He pulls horribly on walks. We have tried to train him professionally but nothing sticks. He also barks wildly at other dogs while on a leash, and certainly gets protective around agressive dogs. He would probably do fine in another dog home, but would do best on his own. 3. He has allergies in the summer. His hair gets patchy if he doesn't get bathed. He is a great dog. Friendly and a lover. He would do well in a home with kids.

Story
Charlie is very energetic dog who loves people. He sometimes forgets how big he is and can be a little clumsy. He has had basic training and excels at sitting, staying, shake, and spins. Walks well with a no pull harness however fetch is not his choice of playtime. He’s done well with children around toddler age and above, we just think he needs more attention

Story
Our Ziggy is playful and energetic. He is so lovable. He was purchased on October 10 of last year from Tully’s Kennel. He was born on August 9, 2025. He received all his wellness check up and shots at Omaha Animal Medical Group. He is pretty quiet. He is black but with a white streak that runs under his neck down his tummy. Beautiful soft coat. His diet is from Nutra Source small breed dogfood, from Mernards. He gets Groomed at PetsSmart. He is potty trained. He eats well. Twice a day. He loves to play and jump with the kids. He can run and get the ball or stick and bring back. He can jump high for the frisbee. The kids love him. We are just too busy,,,, I work two jobs and the kids school activities. Ziggy was a birthday gift from his grandpa last year , but we can’t keep him. He will make a wonderful family dog.

Story
This is Prime. He is a half St. Bernard/English mastiff. He would ideally do best with someone that has a big yard or that lives on a farm. He has a very calm personality, but he does have a protective side to him. He has always been skeptical of new people so it takes him a little bit to warm up. So I would want someone who could be patient with him with that. He turned 19 months on September 5th and he weighs around 115 lbs.
