Story
Neale is 4 months old now, and he’s learning quickly. He’s almost completely house trained and will usually ask to go out when nature calls. He is kennel trained and appreciates a frozen Kong for his longer confinements, such as when I have to leave for work. I hate to be putting him out there to be rehomed, but after doing a DNA test, my partner is uncomfortable with him being a majority pit bull. I didn’t know about this being an issue prior to bringing him home. He’s about 60% American pit bull terrier, 30% coonhound, and 10% other. He really is a good puppy, but he does need to get his energy out. I’ve been taking him out to parks or forest and fields where he can run. He does like to chew since he’s teething right now but he’s getting better at realizing he has toys for that. I’d recommend always having one on hand for him. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
He is an 8 month puppy who needs more attention than I can give. He was my girlfriend;s gift but she left him when we broke up. I work 4-5 days a week, leaving him in a kennel for over 12 hours which is not fair to him. I live in an apartment and do not have time or space to spend with him that he deserves. He has the personality to be a great pet, but needs a place to run and experience life. He loves to play with my parents bern and their doodle. He will play nonstop if you let him. He loves chasing balls. He will still have an accident once a day if you get busy and miss his signal. He does well with my 4 year old niece he just does not understand his space boundaries around her, but he shows no signs of being aggressive toward anyone. He does very well in a kennel when you need to leave for work. But he is a puppy who likes to chew. He needs a family that will play and teach him to be the great dog he will be. This is a tough decision for me because I enjoy his companionship.

Meet Steele! He’s a stunning 4 month old, 22 lb Pittie mix. He is currently all puppy. He loves toys, running around the backyard, and playing with the other resident dogs of all sizes. He was curious when introduced to the cats but they didn’t bother him one way or another. Potty training is going great. He’s using potty pads and learning to go outside. He’s doing great on leash training, knows “sit”, and is working on a few other commands. He’s a smart, fast learner and is treat motivated. Steele is crate trained and sleeps all night in there. He loves everyone, including kids. This handsome guy is ready to find his lucky forever family and continue his puppy training to be the best good boy.    Steele is neutered, fully vetted and vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and ready to meet you.

Story
Elsa is approximately 2-3 years old and about 50 pounds. She is deaf but that doesn’t stop her from playing with other dogs and learning commands through sign language. She is very treat motivated and loves to be around people so training comes easy for her. Her food motivation has made her a little protective during feeding time and will need to eat and enjoy bones separate from other animals. She has really enjoyed playing with her foster brothers and has learned a lot from them so having a fur sibling would be good for her, but not required. She likes to chase cats so a home with no feline friends would be best for her. Elsa is very social and has been known to jump a fence to say hi to her neighbors so she will need to be supervised when outside. This sweet girl loves unconditionally and with all of her heart; if you can provide a safe, deaf-friendly home for her please fill out an application today! The suggested adoption fee for Elsa is $315. 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. ##1802192##

Story
Luna, a Pitty mix, was on the euthanasia list at an Oklahoma shelter before Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ saved her so that she can become a valued family member of some lucky family.  Her birthdate is November 2, 2022. Luna is a sweet, fun-loving girl who plays well with all the dogs she meets.  She truly loves all people, including children. She enjoys playing tug-of-war and playing with toys, which typically means pulling out the stuffing and squeaker.  She is somewhat timid around loud noises, such as when kids are playing basketball or volleyball.  Luna knows how to sit, lay down, and shake with both paws. She is potty and crate trained.  She enjoys eating and loves treats. This sweet girl will make a great companion for some lucky family out there! The suggested adoption fee for Luna is $365.  Bullies-N-Beyond is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

Story
My wife and I have both been around Kiya since the day she was born. She was bred by two dogs I had given to my best friend at the time, one of which happened to be fathered by my husky. My wife took Kiya home at eight weeks old and we started dating a few months after, so she hasn't ever known any other owners. She is a very lovey dog; we've had her through professional training and have never really had problems with her until recently. We do still have my husky; he is now 12 years old. Kiya has never been in a home by herself, as we have always had another dog and have had multiple cats including one right now. Over the last few months, she has begun urinating on the floors of our apartment without warning almost on a daily basis. We are parents to a five-year-old and are not comfortable letting her play on the floor of her own apartment. We believe she is acting out against us as we are both full time students as well, so she hasn't gotten the attention that she was accustomed too.

Norah is the sweetest pup! Her demeanor and personality are that of a playful, happy go lucky dog. She loves car rides, playing with her people and all the attention. She has a cute way of pawing at you when she wants your eyes on her or just simply pets. She is super easy as far as listening and obeying goes. She responds to kennel up, stop, no, sit, shake and lay down (especially for treats! and she loves Dentasticks!). She sleep and snores through the day and requires a couple stints of play time through the day, twice for 20 minutes or so, especially in the evening. She is ready for bed by 9pm and will snore the night away! She is a great addition to any household as she loves everyone, as long as they give her plenty of attention! She is a loving, snuggly, all around perfect pet! ##2161123##

Story
Biggie is a handsome fella who had one heck of a rough start to life.  He was surrendered to a partner shelter due to landlord issues.  Even entering the building then was hard for him--the slip leash going over his head was terrifying and doorways posed a challenge.  Over the next couple of days, he remained extremely guarded with physical touch and new items like microchip scanners entering his space.  With time, he began to settle in with the staff and volunteers, leaning into them for love when out of his kennel.  Unfortunately, a hectic shelter was not a place where he could succeed.  We were contacted as he began bar biting, painting his kennel, body slamming his door and showing more fear when in his kennel. Biggie was extremely shy/reticent when he was transported in to our foster--he slept in the car but required patience and lots of treats when trying to move from vehicle to vehicle, extremely unsure of the situation.  He allowed us to get a BullHug on him, again with lots of patience, and headed to his foster home.  Within a few hours, after a quick bath outside, Biggie's puppy side came out--he couldn't get enough of zooming around the yard and playing with the water! Biggie had been reported to be ok with dogs his size and larger but has shown reactivity to a neighboring lab and with a golden.  At this time, we believe Biggie would be best as an only dog, ready to receive all of your TLC as he comes to know and trust you. Biggie has done well with school-aged and older children but has not been exposed to cats or younger kids.  He's a full-sized guy with lots of energy so smaller kids may be inadvertently toppled over in his excitement. Biggie, like many bulldogs and squishfaces, has demonstrated some fall allergies and is currently on Apoquel and the normal bulldog skin care routine to keep his paws, ears, and facial folds in tip top shape! ##2566390##
