Story
Samson, aka Sam, is a very sweet and timid boy. He is 4 1/2 years old. I purchased him from the shelter almost two years ago. He came from an abusive home. He was not potty trained, and skittish. He is now still timid, but loving. He is now potty trained. He is good with cats, kids and females. He has trust issues with males, there are no males in our household. I don't believe men treated him well prior, but to the special someone, he would make an awesome hunting partner or friend. He loves to run, he must have a fenced in yard or preferably a farm, to run in. Along with genuine love, and compassion for his history, my only requirement is that he has a place to enjoy nature. His favorite pastimes are chasing squirrels, birds, and playing fetch. His favorite toy is his rubber balls. He will come with all supplies needed. He is on an anti-histamine for allergies around his eyes. Those are included, also. ($8/mo). Sam is a sweet and protective boy, who deserves the best of homes.

Story
Athena is a beautiful sable merle Sheltie who was saved from puppy mill. She has been in foster care for a year and a half now. She has learned that humans can be trusted, though she is still skittish. She has some basic obedience. She will come up for pets and snacks once she trusts you! Athena is reactive and resource protective, so should be an only dog. She will bond to her human. She should be an only dog. We are looking for someone within a 2 hour radius of the Omaha area to adopt Athena. Please note that a fence is required.

Story
Fall is officially here and it’s time to think about staying warm this winter. Royal would like to help. He’s around 3 years old and thought to be a Shepherd/Collie mix. He’s a professional lap sitter and bed warmer. Yes, he loves to snuggle. Royal is a very affectionate boy who loves his humans. He’s great with other dogs, and we think he would do best in a home with another active canine companion! He is currently in a foster home with dogs his own size, and one small senior dog. He gets along well with all of them. One of his favorite activities is chasing his foster brothers around the fenced yard. He also loves car rides, walks, and has enough energy to keep up with someone who runs. Royal is not a good fit for cats as he would like to chase them, and has shown a high prey drive when encountering rabbits and birds. Dogs only please, but they can be male or female, big or small, he loves them all. Royal, also known as Good Boy Roy, lives up to his nickname in every way except with 4 foot fences...he can clear them so we are requiring a 6 foot fence to keep him safe.  Due to his energy level Royal would be a good fit for older children. He is fully  housebroken, leash, and kennel trained. This good boy will walk right into his kennel when asked. He is well behaved free roaming the house and only uses his kennel when the humans are out. He is not kenneled at night and would prefer to share a bed with you. So be prepared for Nebraska weather and adopt this handsome lap and bed warmer by applying at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org ADOPTION DONATION: $350 *ALL DOGS MUST BE INSIDE COMPANION ANIMALS! They must all be trained with positive reward based training only and no electric fences.  All Haven's pets are all up to date with vaccinations, altered, microchipped, HeartWorm tested, and on preventatives. 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.
