Story
Sebastian is a 5-yr old sweetheart who is being rehomed due to the owner being elderly and in poor health!. He is very good with people, other dogs and kids but cats are an unknown. He is house broke and he will stand by the door and whine when he wants out. He is not kennel trained as I don't use a kennel. He lives with 2 French bulldogs (male and female) and he has never hurt them. Before the owner's health declines, she would take Sebastian to the stores that would allow him and he was always great. He does pull when on the leash. Sebastian has no known triggers nor does he resource guard food or toys. He loves car rides and when a person enters the house he just wants pets! Sebastian deserves more than the owner can give him now due to medical conditions! Notes from evaluator: Sebastian was gentle when taking treats from the ground and is food/treat motivated. He was a little rougher when given a treat from the hand but calmed down when told to. He was friendly when petting him. Sebastian does have a few balding spots on his elbows but the owner does not have a bed for him so he lays on hardwood. His teeth and ears look good but he does have some hair loss around his eyes and muzzle. Sebastian knows sit, shake, lay down and comes when called. He trusts on a leash and is eager to check things out and will pull. He settled down after a bit and walked well on leash and listened to commands. He will alert the owner by barking if he hears noises outside, otherwise no reaction to loud noises. Overall Sebastian is happy, passive, curious and excited to meet new people! He would benefit from continued training and care. He has an easy temperament with no signs of aggression and will make a great addition to a family that can spend some time and lovin on him!

Story
Ruby Roo is a beautiful 7 year old, 85 lb Rottweiler who is looking for her final forever family! She is potty trained, doesn’t need to be crated in her foster home, respects a baby gate and is perfectly happy hanging out with her people. She still has plenty of spunk and loves her toys, but she doesn’t need a ton of exercise or constant activity. She’ll very happily go for a walk whenever you’re ready, though, so don’t let her age fool you.   Ruby is the kind of dog who takes her time getting comfortable with new people, so a little patience and understanding is best for her. Once she knows you, she is incredibly loyal and will be your BFF for life. One of the best ways to win her over is with a good walk and some time together. She is a strong girl, so her person needs to be comfortable handling a large breed. She’s treat motivated, so that’s a plus!    Ruby can live with other dogs with a long, proper introduction, but she would absolutely love being your one and only. She also has some things that make her a better fit for a certain home. She can be reactive to delivery vans and large trucks, especially while walking, and she prefers that her food and bones are left alone while she enjoys them. She is also a pretty great home security system and will let you know when she thinks something fishy is going on.    Ruby isn’t looking for a busy household or a million people coming and going. She’s looking for her person. Someone who will give her a little time, respect her boundaries and appreciate what a loyal, funny, loving companion she can be. Work long hours? No problem. Ruby is a simple girl.    Ruby Roo is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to meet you! She will come with 2 months of dog food, treats, bowls, leash, collar, toys, a muzzle, and free professional training to help the transition. This is a courtesy post. Please apply directly on our website at https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application We do not have a facility.

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.

Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Roxanne is being fostered in IA currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. Oh… oh hello. Oh… my name? Well, I’m Roxanne. Yes, like the song. No, please don’t sing it. Loud noises scare me. Actually, everything kind of scares me…. When I lived in my kennel, I didn’t hear or see very much so I thought the world was really quiet and small. And sometimes it was dark and dirty. I always felt bad when it came time to have puppies because they had to be born into a dark and dirty place and I didn't like that. I kept them as clean as I could. The humans who owned me would only come around once in a while, and they were loud and said loud, harsh words to me that I didn't understand. I would hide in the corner and shake because I didn't know what was going to happen to me. When my puppies would get bigger, they would come and take the puppies away and I would never see them again. One day, I got out of my kennel, and the world was so big and scary that I just took off running, trying to find a quiet place to hide. Some kind people picked me up and took me to a big building with lots of dogs in it. I was very scared and even though they were very kind to me, I just wanted to hide in the corner because I didn't know what was going to happen to me. It wasn't long before a kind woman came, and she took me to her home. It was much quieter there and she is very kind to me. I'm still very scared because I don't know what I'm supposed to do or if I can trust her, but I'm trying to learn. It's very hard. I haven't known anything else my whole life. But this is nice! She is kind to me, speaks quietly to me and I never have to worry about being fed or having water. I have a big soft bed to sleep on and every day I get to go out in the grass and in the sunshine and sniff around. I really enjoy that. Sometimes there will be loud noises or something I've never seen or heard before, and I get scared again, but every day I get a little braver and feel a little better. I've sniffed my foster mom's hand a few times and I like the way she smells and how she smiles when I do that. Things like putting the leash on and off are still scary for me but I'm learning to be more comfortable with that. I like to be able to see my foster mom and sometimes I cry when she's away from me because she does bring me comfort. But she says I'm really good in my crate otherwise. I also get in and out of the car willingly even though that scares me a little bit, too. I want to be a good girl and make my foster mom happy because my other humans were never happy with me. My Foster mom has a couple other dogs and they haven't bothered me too much when I'm in my kennel. I have met them in person and kind of like them. They are smaller than me but they bring me big comfort having them near. I have also met their cat while outside and she's pretty nice too - I don't even try to chase her. My Foster mom says that I would do really great in a home who understood that I'm kind of like a "blank slate", and I just need to learn how to be a dog and how the world works slowly, but surely. They would need to have lots of patience with me and understand that I would need some time to adjust, but I'm trying my very best to be a good girl so that I can live in a home like that someday soon. Can you help me become the best girl I can be?

Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Rush is being fostered in IN currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. . Rush is a friendly, playful, deaf (with some partial hearing) 2-year-old neutered male Rottweiler who has had several homes before finding stability with his current foster family. Despite a difficult start in life and multiple returns, he has proven to be a loving, well-adjusted dog. Personality & Behavior * Very affectionate, social, and playful. * Thrives with other dogs and enjoys being part of a pack. * Loves tug-of-war, play wrestling, and chewing toys. * House-trained with excellent indoor manners. * Travels well in the car and behaves well in public. * Comfortable with handling, grooming, and veterinary visits. * Sleeps quietly in a crate overnight. Training * Deaf but highly trainable and eager to learn. * Knows hand-signal cues for sit, stay, come, down, heel/side, and waiting at doors. * Learns quickly and responds well to guidance from both people and other dogs. Health * Has an ongoing issue with his front left leg, likely tendon-related, though no definitive diagnosis has been made. * Enjoys playtime but is not fond of long walks due to the leg discomfort. * Previously experienced anxiety-related behaviors (panting, pacing, whining at dusk) and was treated with Prozac, but has since been successfully weaned off the medication. Other Animals * Gets along very well with other dogs. * Has shown appropriate curiosity around cats and may be able to live with one after proper introductions. Ideal Home Rush would do best in a home with another friendly dog or dogs, a consistent routine, and adopters willing to continue his training and communication through visual cues. He is a sweet, smart, and resilient dog who loves companionship and play and is looking for a stable, forever home.

Story
Bear is an almost 3 year old, large, gorgeous, altered Rottweiler. He is searching for a new family due to his owner having a stroke and no longer able to care for him. He loves to play but currently does not get enough exercise which causes him to exhibit typical behaviors of juvenile boredom. He is a very sweet and loving dog who would flourish in an active home with consistent training. Like most dogs, if no one takes charge of a situation, he will. Bear has had professional training, but it was not followed through at home and he can be stubborn if he doesn't respect the "trainer". However, with people who do reinforce commands he is quick to respond. Bear is very intelligent and eager to please when offered consistent and fair training. He can become mouthy when he is excited. He did this behavior as a puppy and reverted to it when excited. Bear also has never had consistent walks on a leash and needs training in that area. Bear recently was boarded while his owner was hospitalized. The staff reported that he displayed some resource guarding with food and toys resulting in growling if they tried to take it away. Also, when visiting the vet, he needs to be muzzled for blood work or other “in your face” procedures. Overall, Bear is a great dog who will flourish in a home with someone who will enforce boundaries, exercise, and in return will have a loyal dog that loves you more than himself.
