Yorkie 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.We rescued Hawthorne and Oolong from a commercial breeding operation. Both young boys are very sweet. They each have their own foster home where they have been getting lots of one-on-one attention. They have been learning about indoor life, how to go up and down stairs, potty-training, and living with loving foster families. There have been lots of 'firsts' for these pups like being groomed, going for walks, getting treats, and they have been thriving and loving their new lives! Looking for a gallon of personality in a pint-sized package? Then Hawthorne is the one for you! This 8-pound Yorkshire Terrier has been living with four German-Shepherd foster siblings since October, and since he doesn’t seem to realize he’s 1/10th their size, we’re not going to be the ones to tell him! Hawthorne is only a year old, and sure has the daily zoomies to prove it, although after a few minutes of zooming, he’s always down to curl up for snuggles. Prior to coming to HUGS, he lived in a kennel, so he had to start from scratch at his foster home, but he’s figured out that toys are awesome, and is still finishing potty training (but has already made huge strides!). Hawthorne’s mom didn’t hear a single sound from him for over two weeks, but he does have a voice, although he really only uses it when playing with his canine friends. Being so little doesn’t stop him from going wherever he wants – he’s becoming more confident every day, and has no problem climbing over dogs and humans in his path. Hawthorne’s main priority in life is to be touching one of his pack members, whether that be falling asleep with his head on one of the other dogs, or snuggled up on mom’s lap while she works. If you’re not giving him enough attention, he has no problem gently pawing you to remind you that he’s right there. Hawthorne has not been cat or kid tested, although foster mom think he’d do well with both. Hawthorne's biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't seem to realize how little he is, and lacking any sense of self-preservation, he nearly give his foster mom a heart attack when he ran towards a hawk instead of away! Thanks to a generous donation, Hawthorne does come with his own little punk rock spiked jacket to deter any future predator issues! The adoption fee for Hawthorn is $500, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.  Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like any of our dogs, Hawthorn would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, regular grooming, activity and mental stimulation that her breed needs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please review the information in the 'About Us', 'Important Considerations' and 'Adopt' sections on our website menu, as it contains useful information about the breed, adoption fees, the adoption process and our requirements, and how meeting the dogs works.November 26, 2025, 1:04 am

Elvis Birthday 10/30/23 Sidney NE area Yorkie/ Shih Tzu/ Mystery Fusion Birthday 03/23/2022 Dog friendly Cat friendliness unknown, his current foster doesn't have cats but he is incredibly easy going and seems to have no prey drive so we believe that he would be fine.  He is an incredibly easy and friendly dog. While he hasn't been around young kids we believe that he will be perfectly fine with kids as long as the children have DOG MANNERS.  Elvis' new family MUST have another playful dog in the house or he needs to be adopted with his brother.House trained as long as he is let out often.  We would love him to go with his brother Gable as they adore each other, they are each others favorite playmates, BUT they DO NOT need to go together they are NOT bonded.  He will crate with no issues. He needs work on house manners as far as commands but he's shockingly a quick learner and super eager to please.  Hasn't spent a lot of time on a leash but this is something we are working on Loves to cuddle, but is also independent. He likes to sleep in his kennel with the door open, has no idea of personal space once he knows it's ok to cuddle.   Due to his dashing underbite he needs a his bottom teeth brushed and a specific dental supplement. Playing, wrestling and running are his favorite pastimes. LOVES a good nap Gets extremely nervous and car sick on car rides. This makes him more anxious upon arriving to his destination. MUST HAVE A FENCED IN YARD. He is a mischievous little muppet will FOLLOW another dog on any adventures they decide to partake in.  Loves a routine Absolutely LOVES to sunbathe NO DOG DOOR. He has no clue when it's too hot and will just lay outside putting himself at risk.  Fully vetted  16lbs approx  Are you looking for your own handsome, friendly and very charismatic lil dude to join your family? Did you ever watch The Muppets and think "gosh one day I hope I get my own mischievous little muppet?" Do you love a magnificent underbite? Are you willing to tend to his fabulous Jason Momoa style locks? If so, boy do we have the boy for you!  Elvis is a very easy dog by all accounts. He is incredibly friendly and hasn't has any issues for anyone he's met, besides being scared out of his mind at the vet. He can fool you thinking thinking he's calm and perfect but trust us, he has an impish side!   Elvis is extremely playful. He loves his chew bones and will play with some stuffed toys every now and then. We haven't seen him gut any of the stuffy toys and believe he is safe with them. He eats in a kennel and absolutely LOVES food. He isn't aggressive with his food at all but he will absolutely try and sneak a nibble of someone else's, he's a little scamp! He does great in a crate and even loves to nap in it. He has been left free roaming when the foster has left for short periods of time and he hasn't destroyed anything but every now and then he will have an accident. Elvis HATES car rides and will get very nervous in new situations. He won't bite he just is scared. This is something that he MAY overcome but he hasn't so far. In these situations he looks for reassurance from his owner and does better with his brother. We would hope he would find the same comfort he has found with his brother with another dog in his new home.   Elvis absolutely loves the outdoors, cool or cold or warm or hot. He prefers the warm or hot weather to the cold. He however cannot tell when he's been outside too long. He would literally sunbathe forever if you let him which is obviously dangerous. Due to this inability, (which most dogs have), he is not a candidate for a dog door. He always will accompany another dog going outside. When he gets outside he gets a case of selective hearing. He will stay out until he's sure every dog is back inside or until he feels he's ready. He needs close monitoring outside and a fenced in yard.   For reasons we don't understand Elvis hasn't had much interest that fit his needs. We don't believe that his needs are excessive or rare but for whatever reason he's been hard to find a perfect fit for.

Gable Birthday 10/30/23 Sidney NE area Yorkie/ Shih Tzu/ Mystery Fusion Dog friendly Cat friendliness unknown, his current foster doesn't have cats but he is incredibly easy going and seems to have no prey drive so we believe that he would be fine.  He is an incredibly easy and friendly dog. While he hasn't been around young kids we believe that he will be perfectly fine with kids as long as the children have DOG MANNERS.  Gable's new family MUST have another playful dog in the house or he needs to be adopted with his brother. This isn't up for discussion.House trained as long as he is let out often. He will likely have some regression when he moves homes as he is very habit and routine based.   We would love him to go with his brother Elvis as they adore each other. They are each others favorite playmates, BUT they DO NOT need to go together they are NOT bonded.  He will crate with no issues. He needs work on house manners as far as commands but he's shockingly a quick learner, super eager to please and very food motivated. Hasn't spent a lot of time on a leash but this is something we are working on. Loves to cuddle, but is also independent. He prefers to sleep with someone as close to their face as possibl. Gable has no concept of personal space.   Playing, wrestling and running are his favorite pastimes. LOVES a good nap on the couch Gets extremely nervous and car sick on car rides. This makes him more anxious upon arriving to his destination. MUST HAVE A FENCED IN YARD. While this dashing little muppet has never left the front area of his current fosters home we are requiring a fence because he is so friendly and naive we are worried for his safety. Loves a routine NO DOG DOOR. His current foster stays at home and so we would be concerned with his owner gone that he would go back inside.  Fully vetted  14lbs approx  To know Gable is to love him. He was named after Clark Gable due to his charismatic  personality and incredibly dapper good looks. Gable is an old soul. He has these big eyes but you cannot help but fall into. He has the sweetest personality. He is full of energy but not hyper. He is independent but still loves to cuddle. He has the perfect amount of mischievousness and considerate, good natured behavior. He is just a completely precious lil man.  Gable is incredibly friendly and hasn't has any issues for anyone he's met, besides being scared out of his mind at the vet. Gable is very playful. He loves his chew bones and we have seen him play with a stuffy a few times but mostly he likes to wrestle and play chase with other dogs. Gable loves to eat sticks, chew on remotes, any wood or hard plastic object. When you say "no" or "drop it" he does so immediately. He eats in a kennel and absolutely LOVES food. He isn't aggressive with his food at all however he will try to sneak in and grab some of someone else's. He has been corrected by multiple doge of various sizes and just takes as a challenge to get faster and sneakier in his attempts. Due to his commitment to this intense thievery he eats in a kennel.  He does ok in a crate, it isn't his favorite place but he deals with it. When put in his crate if you don't feed him fast enough he will let you know. In fact he has lots of opinions in general and if he feels strongly about them he will let you know. I don't know that he is more vocal than Elvis, both will strongly express themselves when they feel it's warranted. He has been left free roaming when the foster has left for short periods of time and he hasn't destroyed anything but every now and then he will have an accident. Gable HATES car rides and will get very nervous in new situations. He won't bite he just is scared. This is something that he MAY overcome but he hasn't so far. In these situations he looks for reassurance from his owner and does better with his brother. We would hope he would find the same comfort he has found with his brother with another dog in his new home.   Gable is happy to be outside as long as his owner and other dogs are also outside. He has very little interest to relax outside without a person and another playful dog to interact with. Gable has fantastic recall and doesn't stray from the immediate yard no matter what or will be following the owner. This being said and understood we are still requiring a fence for him just to be extra safe.   Gable has been pre approved a couple of times but the family has changed their minds or they aren't able to follow through with the adoption for whatever reason. We don't believe that his needs are excessive or rare but for whatever reason he's been hard to find his committed perfect fit.
