Story
Zeb joined rescue about two weeks ago. He'd love to tell you about himself! I am very timid and shy when I first meet new people. Once I get to know you.  I am a sweet loving goofball.  I like to fetch inside my my safe home.  When I go outside for walks, the outside world is a big mostly scary to me place.  I don’t think I was exposed to many things as a young man.  When I am comfortable with you inside, I still have just a hint of puppy left in me.  I might jump/or put your fingers in my mouth when I’m excited.  I do not care to be in a crate.  Although I will go in them with little hesitation.  I seem to be house broke.  I don’t have a way of bathroom communication yet.  I just get let out on a fairly regular schedule. I can make it inside without an accident for 8-9 hours.  I do prefer to sleep in a room with people.  I am content on the floor but would probably love to sleep in a person's bed.  I am a known fence jumper.  (4ft) when outside for walks I seem to be timid/scared of car doors, people, and idling cars.  I am getting better when on walks and it does not take as much encouragement for me to keep walking.  I seem to come to my name when I’m not scared. I’m working on sit currently.  My foster family has two cats, and I don’t give them mind.  I don’t have a mean bone in my body.  My reaction is to flee.  I’m also working on car rides. For the most part I’m a quiet dog.  I will bark if someone is entering my home or I see someone outside.  I don’t stand and snoop at the window like my foster sister.  I can also get pretty excited around mealtime.  I seem to share treats and meals fine with the other four legged’s in my foster home.   Zeb is being fostered in Des Moines, Iowa. If you are interested in giving him a permanent home, please complete our adoption application. *Please be sure to read the adoption information page on our website before applying for a dog. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 30, 2026, 4:52 pm

Story
Arrow is a sweet, affectionate boy who settles in quickly and loves being near his people. He’s what we’d call a “velcro dog” once he knows you—happy to follow you around, curl up on the couch, and soak up attention (bonus: he’s a fan of relaxing TV nights). He has a nice balance of energy. He enjoys walks and occasional zoomies, but they’re short-lived and he’s mindful of his surroundings. Most of the time, he’s perfectly content lounging and snuggling.   Training & Behavior Arrow is eager to please and very food-motivated, which makes training a great opportunity to continue building on what he already knows. He currently knows “sit” and has a solid foundation to grow from. Recall: Arrow has good recall overall, especially with praise and rewards. Like any dog, it’s not 100% foolproof, so a secure area or long line is recommended. Leash skills: Walks well on leash but may pull if he catches an interesting scent. He’s responsive and can be redirected easily. House training: When home, Arrow clearly signals when he needs to go out by going to the door and pawing. Crate/alone time: He has had accidents when left alone, likely related to some separation anxiety. This is something his future family should be prepared to continue working on.   Important: Fencing Arrow has shown that he can climb a chain link fence, especially if he’s trying to get to his people. He is not trying to run off—he wants to be with you—but this means a standard chain link fence is not considered secure for him. A privacy fence or supervised outdoor time is strongly recommended.   In the Home Arrow has done well being loose in the home while people are around. He may help himself to “goodies” if they’re left within reach, so a little management goes a long way.   Other Pets & Kids Dogs: He’s done well meeting other dogs and shows great social awareness. He respects boundaries and backs off appropriately when another dog asks for space. Kids: He hasn’t been directly tested with small children yet, but his calmer demeanor suggests he may do well. As always, proper introductions and supervision are key.   Personality Arrow is a loving, easygoing companion who wants to be part of your day-to-day life. He’s affectionate, observant, and adjusts well to the energy around him—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood or a quiet night on the couch.   Arrow is being fostered near Red Oak, Iowa.

Story
Being a German Shorthair & Hound mix, you can imagine that ol' Oscar is a lover of the outdoors! This sweet boy was born in May of 2015 and is still looking for a place to call his own. Oscar enjoys being around people, especially ladies, but he understands what it's like to need some space: your time, my time, and our time! Oscar experiences anxiety and because of this, boundaries are important to him. When his anxiety is low, Oscar is a goofy, playful boy who likes to chase balls, sticks, and rabbits. He loves, loves, loves long walks with plenty of time to let his hound nose get some exercise, and lots of exercise helps work off that extra energy that can make this handsome boy nervous! Because of his love for exploration, Oscar will need a fenced-in yard to keep him close to home.  Oscar is not kennel trained, but is totally fine being left to lounge around the house while you're away.  He's also housetrained, so no worries about that business! Oscar is a very smart dog who knows "sit", "stay", "lay down", "leave it" and he also knows that when he follows these fun words, he gets really yummy treats! Oscar's ideal home will be with an active person/couple who love to explore nature, just like he does, and who will love him like family while respecting his need for boundaries and independence! The suggested adoption donation for Oscar is $315.  We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.  Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match.  If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet.  The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter.  We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs.  If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
