Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Nebraska

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation. If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) 'Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?' for additional information. Margo is a 1-year-old mini Goldendoodle with a spirit that’s nothing short of incredible. This spunky, bouncy girl is full of life, love, and resilience—and she’s ready to find the forever home she’s always deserved. Margo’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was found abandoned in a kennel inside an empty home after her previous owners were evicted. Severely neglected, —her eyes even matted shut—malnourished at under 20 pounds (when she should be closer to 45 lbs), and covered in fleas. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, she was rescued just in time and given the medical care, nourishment, and love she so desperately needed. Her coat and skin were in such poor condition that Margo had to be shaved under sedation. She is currently regrowing her fur. Now safe in rescue, Margo is leaving her past behind and looking ahead to a bright, happy future—and her personality is truly blossoming. She’s energetic, playful, and incredibly affectionate. Like a little spring, she bounces through life with joy and excitement. She absolutely loves treats (food is definitely her love language!), enjoys toys of all kinds, and wants nothing more than to be close to her people or dog friends. Margo does great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine companion or as your one-and-only. Because of her high energy and enthusiasm, she’d do best with older children who can match her zest for life. Her experience with cats is unknown. She is potty trained and crate trained, though she’s still working through some kennel-related habits due to her past trauma. With patience and consistency, she continues to make great progress. She’s also learning leash skills and will flourish with continued guidance and structure. Margo’s ideal home is one filled with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. She doesn’t ask for much—just a family who will cherish her, include her, and give her the life she fought so hard to have. In return, she’ll give you her whole heart. Like many Doodle breeds, Margo will need ongoing training, consistency, boundaries, and plenty of physical and mental activity to thrive. She would do best in an active home that can provide strong leadership, structure, and regular socialization. Breed experience (or similar high-energy dog experience) is preferred. Even with a fenced yard, daily walks and outings are essential to keep her mentally stimulated, prevent boredom, and continue building good leash manners. Margo’s adoption fee is $425, which helps offset the significant cost of her veterinary care and allows us to continue rescuing dogs in need. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue and rely on adoption fees and donations to save lives. Her adoption fee includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, heartworm testing (and treatment if needed), and a microchip.

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)    , .
