Meet Ozzy — Professional Snugglebug, Part-Time Puppy! Born July 20, 2026 | Shih Tzu / Rat Terrier Mix Some puppies bring the zoomies. Some bring the mischief. Some bring enough energy to keep an entire household on its toes. And then there’s Ozzy, who brings all of that puppy magic wrapped up in one itty-bitty package, with an extra helping of snuggles thrown in for good measure. This tiny little guy is pure puppy, but he’s also a certified cuddlebug in the making. His favorite place to be? Curled up with his person, soaking up affection and reminding everyone that there’s always room for one more snuggle. Of course, don’t mistake that love of cuddles for a lack of puppy shenanigans. Ozzy is still a baby, after all, and we’re sure there are plenty of goofy antics, curious explorations, and entertaining little adventures ahead! Ozzy came into rescue with his brother, Ollie, and he’s already off to a great start. He’s doing well with potty training, which is something worth celebrating for such a young pup! He’s showing us that even the tiniest members of the family can make some pretty impressive progress. He’s also working on crate training, learning household routines, building good habits, and mastering all those important puppy life skills. He’s got a lot to learn, but with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement, we’re excited to watch this little guy continue to grow and thrive. And when all that learning and exploring is done? We have a feeling Ozzy will be more than happy to clock out for the day and curl up beside his favorite human. Because while he’s absolutely here for the puppy adventures, he’s also very much here for the cuddles. Ozzy is brand-new to rescue, so we’re still getting to know all the little quirks, funny habits, and sweet details that make him uniquely Ozzy. We’ll keep updating his bio as his personality unfolds, but so far, we know he’s a tiny sweetheart who’s off to a wonderful start. If your arms have been feeling a little too empty, your couch could use a permanent snuggle companion, and your heart has room for a whole lot of puppy love, Ozzy would like to be considered for the position. The job comes with tiny paws, unlimited sweetness, and a strong likelihood that your personal space will soon become a thing of the past.   The suggested adoption fee for Ozzy is $715. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. 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. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home. ##2871599##

Meet Ollie — Small Pup, BIG Main Character Energy! Born July 20, 2026 | Shih Tzu / Rat Terrier Mix If your household has been missing a little chaos, a lot of cuteness, and a tiny four-legged overachiever, allow us to introduce you to Ollie! This little guy is pure puppy energy wrapped up in one adorable package. He’s curious, busy, playful, and ready to take on the world one zoomie at a time! And if his foster’s suspicions are correct, Ollie may have one very important weakness: TREATS. We have a feeling this boy’s future training sessions are going to be highly productive when snacks are involved. Ollie came into rescue with his brother, Ozzy, but he’s already showing us that he’s a clever little guy with a personality all his own. Exhibit A? He’s already doing great with potty training! Somebody give this kid a gold star (and maybe a cookie, because we’re pretty sure he’d appreciate that). He’s also working on crate training and all those other important puppy life skills. He’s just getting started, but we’re expecting big things from this bright little dude. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy, we think Ollie is going to keep impressing us! Ollie is still brand-new to rescue, so we’re getting to know all the little quirks, goofy habits, and lovable details that make him Ollie. We’ll keep updating his bio as his brilliant little personality unfolds, but one thing is already clear: this boy is off to a fantastic start! If you’re ready for puppy antics, treat-powered training sessions, and a whole lot of love in a small package, Ollie might just be your guy. Stay tuned as this little superstar grows, learns, and steals hearts one adorable moment at a time!   The suggested adoption fee for Ollie is $715. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

Story
This little boy is certainly LUCKY and grateful for rescue! This sweet 1.5 year old guy was originally adopted and so very loved but sadly his mama passed away and he ended up in high kill shelter less than 24 hours later. Scared, alone and confused we could not turn away.  Lucky is a calm handsome 39 pound boy who has his whole life in front of him and just needs a chance for his forever home to grow up in and he will be the amazing companion we know he was meant to be. He is adjusting well to his foster home and thanks to his wonderful foster family, he is finding his place and the joy again in life. Lucky enjoys playing with other dogs and really aims to please the pack leader (his foster mom). He's learning basic commands and is sleeping at night in a kennel.  Although, he is coming out of his shell more each day his overall demeanor is more of a chill, low key guy that is a bit on the shy side. He is easy to please and just wants to be by his people and soak in the affection and attention. Lucky would love another resident dog in the family to help him build his confidence and a fenced in yard is required.  If you are looking for a calm dog, that is the perfect medium size, who adores his people and is just looking for his family/person to bond with, Lucky may be the perfect match for you! Please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org ADOPTION DONATION: $400  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application We do not have a facility. All of our animals are in volunteer foster homes. Once an application is pre-approved (contingent upon a home check) we will contact applicants that are a good match and set up a time for a meet. At that time we are happy to answer all of your questions. No inquiries prior to that please. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, examined by a vet, up-to-date on vaccinations, on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped. We adopt our animals as strictly inside companion pets. We will do a veterinarian reference check and a home safety check. We are located in Omaha, NE and we do not ship our animals. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us. Our requested adoption fees help go towards medical expenses, food, transportation, toys, and other supplies for our animals. We are a state licensed, 501c3 nonprofit rescue and the adoption donation may be tax deductible for you.  Thank you for choosing adoption!! November 3, 2026, 4:26 pm
