Story
Located in the Sidney NE area  Maltese fusion  2-3 years old Dog friendly ( 1 , 1 , )  Cat friendliness unknown Would be fine with kids  Food reactive with other dogs will need to be fed separately  we would say 97% house trained and doing well (he can mark every now and then but once told know he immediately stops, and smiles, and won’t do it again)  Crate trained and is currently working on  basic commands funny and such a clown Fine off leash he listens and has great recall Will need grooming so make sure you have that in your budget Fully vetted 12-15ish lbs    Are you someone who sleeps with a teddy bear? Are you someone who loves to laugh? Are you experienced with class clowns? Are you someone who wants to get the most out of every day? Do you need to smile more? If so !!! Meet Nico. Nico is some sort of small white floof known as a “designer dog,” but I don’t tell him that, he’s cocky enough. Nico is SO stinking’ cute, plus he smiles, which makes him kinda irresistible. He literally smiles at you every time you catch him doing something wrong, which is both irritating and hilarious at the same time. He does well for grooming, thank god because good luck trying to brush the little monster if he doesn’t want you to. He is also great with other dogs. In fact Nico spends a majority of his day hardcore playing with other dogs which is why he MUST have at least 1 playful dog, multiple playful dogs would be even better. Yes, he does settle down on the couch watching true crime documentaries or some Hallmark Christmas movies. He also adores a solid nap, he’s into snuggling and lounge time on someone’s lap. He did use to nip when super excited, we have eliminated that behavior but we don’t know if he will backslide when rehomed, so because of that we’re saying no young kids, we don’t want to hear about him “biting” a kid not do we want to set him up to fail in a home that doesn’t get this. . He’s an incredibly sweet boy and bouncing around from home to home isn’t an option we want for any dog but especially not for him. Nico is kinda like that annoying little brother you never wanted but now that he’s here you adore him . Sometimes he annoys dogs until they play with him, or attack him he’s down either way and thinks it’s a blasty. He absolutely LOVES to play and just have a canine playmate or playmates in the home. Further when you repremand him, for, let’s say, digging in the mud, or anything that’s unacceptable behavior, he smiles at you, HUGE SMILE, puts his fluffy ears up and sashays away with his tail doing a “queen wave” (to make sure you get the sass) consoling himself that he’s living with such obtuse humans. He likes to sleep with you and now after being in his foster for months he is happy to snuggle in and sleep through the night, on your pillow, by your head. This may transfer to his new home but if not it just takes him a bit to learn to snuggle in like a normal dog, once he’s there however there is no going back haha.  In his current foster home he doesn’t much care for the husband. His foster momma stays home and is responsible for all his care, sleeping arrangements, feedings, training etc. so that could have something to do with it. Nico doesn’t try to bite him or anything but he ignores the husband for the most part and barks at him incessantly if he tries to speak to him. It’s probably just him though, this happens somewhat regularly.  So while Nico does have some annoying quirks, some puppy behavior, he’s mischievous, sometimes doesn’t read social cues very well, can be a scamp and an instigator, yet, at the same time, he is the sweetest, funniest, cuddliest, happiest, cheekiest lil man and is so deserving of the most fantastic home and he will be extremely missed by his foster family and their dogs. He’s about 2-3 years old and is 12-15lbs. He’s fully vetted and ready to go to the most perfect family. We cannot wait to find his family because anyone worthy of this one in a million lil dude is going to be .  Please share so he can find someone who wants a lot of personality in a precious little floof package. $.   ( 5013 . , ' .) http://www.highplainspaw.org https://www.facebook.com/HighPlainsPAW : https://www.facebook.com/groups/836373273962895/?ref=share https://www.highplainspaw.org/adoption-application highplainspaw@gmail.com (402)957-1578  . .  means, altered, up to date on vaccines, HW tested if applicable and on flea/tick preventative (chemical or natural, aka no buggies)    , .

Story
Sidney NE areaLabrador Retriever/American Staffordshire Terrier/ mystery fusion Birthday 03/23/2022Dog friendlyCat friendliness unknown, she was good with cats but she hasn’t been around one in her current foster home so a little hard to say for sureKid friendly, as long as the children have DOG MANNERS House trainedNeeds a SLOW FEEDER BOWLShe will crate with treats but she’s just not a huge fan so far. She needs work on house manners but she’s a quickl learner her current foster is just overwhelmed a bit when it comes to training. Does decent on a leash, she is strong and does pull sometimes so some work on that will be neededIs OBSESSED with iceFully vetted 70lbs approx  Edie has grown up in rescue she is very loved by us and by her foster family BUT she is so deserving of her FURever home. Every time we thought we had found her ppl it didn’t end up working out for reasons that had nothing to do with Edie. We have no idea why she’s had such little interest but we would REALLY love for her to find her people.  Not only is Edie absolutely darling, she has a happy and bubbly personality, she is always the first to meet her fosters at the door. She is always down for an adventure and her nature is very curious. She is one who observes before jumping into interacting with other dogs, she just likes to know what she’s signing up for, I can respect that, I think a lot of us secretly do the same thing with ppl. She really needs her people or a foster home with less dogs and more attention. She can get protective over toys and bones with other dogs but we think part of that will subside in a home with less dogs. She just wants more attention and love than she’s given. She’s crazy eager to please and has so much love to give.  She loves belly rubs and and squeezing in the smallest spaces she can . This little weirdo also has an obsession with the water bowl and while she’s never been around bodies of water beyond the bathtub, she would likely LOVE it!  This girl is a fantastic partner in crime. She loves people, is doing decent on a leash, but she is strong, it’s just her sincere and deep love of life and everything that every day has to offer!  If you’re interested in adding this, ice loving, spot stealing, adventure ready insanely delightful girl PLEASE contact us asap!  http://www.highplainspaw.org https://www.facebook.com/HighPlainsPAW : https://www.facebook.com/groups/836373273962895/?ref=share https://www.highplainspaw.org/adoption-application   https://www.highplainspaw.org/foster-application highplainspaw@gmail.com (402)957-1578  . .  $.  ( 5013 . , ' .) means, altered, up to date on vaccines, HW tested if applicable and on flea/tick preventative (chemical or natural, aka no buggies)  , .

Story
NOT AVAILABLE FOR FULL ADOPTION AS OF YET DUE TO NEEDING TO BE VETTED.  Bruno Located in the Sidney Ne area 5 years old Mini Aussie Lives with cats but is kept seperately Good with other dogs he has met once shown they are friends Great with children Not believed to be bonded with his sister Jade but would be awesome if they could go together  Shy but not at all reactive just slower to seek interaction. He is just on the reserved side at first House trained  Crate trained and know other basic commands, very easily motivated to please Need to be brought up to date on vaccines  Need to be altered  Weighs     This dapper medium sized man is an owner surrender with his sister Jade. The owners are moving and cannot take them. It’s sad as these owners are all they have ever known. Now both dogs find themselves searching for a new place to welcome them home.  Both have done great around other dogs. Bruno is more reserved and shy in that he will wait and observe Jade's interaction with dogs and new humans and once shown they are friends he is happy to seek out all the attention. His owners don't have children but Bruno has done great with all the kids he has met. Obviously being more reserved it is even more important that the children have dog manners and parents respect the dogs boundaries. I want to reiterate that Bruno warms up to others quickly he just isn't currently the first to saddle up to visitors to become besties. Bruno is not at all reactive, but we don't want to put him in a situation to feel uncomfortable.  Typical of the breed Bruno is very easily motivated and eager to please so additional training should be relatively easy.  Bruno needs a new place to call home asap. If you think that Bruno, or even better, Bruno & Jade would be a good fit for your home please reach out!!  This is a time sensitive situation.  While he is currently not up to date on vaccines that will be taken care of asap upon her arriving at his foster home.   ##2798452##

She needs work on house manners but she’s a quick learner and super eager to please.

She has had little to no interest since birth. We have no idea why she’s had such little interest, we thought she would be one of the first to be adopted. Unfortunately she is still waiting, we would REALLY love for her to find her people.    Not only is Austyn the cutest chocolate gumdrop, she has such a charismatic personality. She is right behind her sister when  greeting ppl and welcoming them to the home. She is on the more independent side. She is more of an act now and think later type of girl.  She really needs her people or a foster home with less dogs and more attention so that she can blossom and reach her full potential. She can get protective over toys and bones with other dogs but we think part of that will subside in a home with less dogs. She just wants more attention and love than she’s given.

Story
From Abandonment - To Rescue - To the Front Page - To Healing    LOOKING FOR ADOPTIVE HOME (or FOSTER) ASAP IN THE NE/CO/WY/SD   SIMON   Located in Dalton, NE American Pit Bull Terrier  1-2 years approx Dog friendly See below Kids over 10 would be best due to his size  Potty trained  Secure fence recommended Fully Vetted (on the 24th) Appears to be blind in one eye  60 pounds   Simon was pretty notorious in the Sidney, NE area for a while back in March when he was dumped by a truck driver at a truck stop. Hundreds of people followed the posts on social media of his plight, the photos of his multiple sightings in the first several days, and then his eventual rescue. It was a heartbreaking story of a dog suffering the ultimate betrayal and then spending days looking for his betrayer and then finally running in fear when that person couldn’t be found. He was terrified but kind. It was very difficult to witness and hear about.  Irregardless of the dedicated efforts of multiple caring individuals as well as law enforcement, Simon refused all help and eventually started wandering further and further. It wasn’t until he wandered into a fenced yard that he was captured; and then his story became front page news.  Simon is safe now, but his story is far from over. SIMON NEEDS A HOME!! Until then he’s just another dumped homeless dog. Is that what we want? Simon has had his vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped on the 24th. From there he needs his much deserved dedicated family.    Simon is a very nice and sweet dog. He is not destructive. Does well in a crate. He’s quiet. He’s potty trained. He is 100% dog friendly and non confrontational in any way. He may take a minute to warm up when meeting new people (who can blame him?) but he comes around fast. Cats are an unknown. He’s VERY interested and HIGHLY focused. But he doesn’t exhibit aggression. At this point it’s hard to say without a formal test. But my gut is saying a home without cats would be best.    If you are interested in Simon PLEASE reach out and apply. He’s very deserving and loyal and you will not be disappointed; I can assure you.  Sidenote: Simon is a dog worthy of his own Insta page, this guy doesn’t take a bad photo !!   Please contact us if interested or have questions.    To Contact Us Message the Page  Facebook Message Cilena Dueker TEXT Cilena at 308-249-4308 Fill out our Adoption Application at https://www.highplainspaw.org/adoption-application Fill out our Foster Application at  https://www.highplainspaw.org/foster-application Email us at highplainspaw@gmail.com   $200.00 Adoption Fee   (The $200.00 is considered a nonrefundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible.
