Story
Meet our sweet gentle little, Edgar. He is about 18 pounds and was born on June 24, 2024. At only 6 months old this little guy is learning so much about life and the safety of rescue. Edgar loves other dogs and is gaining confidence and trust from them, so we are requiring he go into a home with another resident dog.  Edgar has learned to trust people and has learned to have fun with toys, chasing balls, playing with all size dogs and he LOVES a comfy spot to curl up and cuddle in! He is also crate trained and almost potty trained! He has been around children and cats, as well. Loud noises do startle him so toddlers may not be the best. Edgar started out life in Oklahoma in an unhealthy breeding situation so he arrived very scared along with several other beagles. After a combined effort of two rescues to release them from this breeder, he now only knows what human kindness, soft pets and what love is about! Oh and treats he discovered how delicious they can be! Edgar is looking for a forever friend/family that wants to watch a gentle timid puppy grow into a confident happy companion. If that's your family, please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org DONATION ADOPTION FEE: $450.  INCLUDES: Neuter, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and wormed. INSIDE ONLY! 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.

To adopt or for more information, please visit http://TaysiaBlue.com Hey there! Are you looking for a wonderful treat to add to your home? Well, here I am! I’m Muffin! I’m really looking for a loving family to take me in and show me the affection and care that I deserve. I came from a pretty rough background, so I’m a bit shy right now, but I warm up very quickly! I’ve been very affectionate with my foster family and anyone friendly that I meet. I also love my new canine friend Bruce. We have so much fun together! I’ve been very well behaved at home, too! I’m very quiet in the kennel at night and very good with my manners around the home! As you can tell by my pictures, I’m just a beautiful girl who likes to use her great features to gain extra pets and hugs! If you’re looking for a beautiful pup to add to your pack at home, then please fill out an application for me, Muffin!To adopt or for more information, please visit http://TaysiaBlue.com December 20, 2024, 7:44 pm
