Duke

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Nebraska City, NE

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I have had Duke (and his sister Ruby) since they were 8 weeks old. Their birthday is Halloween day, 2022. Duke loves being outside. He loves to chase birds, squirrels, and rabbits. He has an incredible prey drive, so cats are a no no. He grew up on a 5 acre farm, so he's used to having room to run. I had to move into town and he and his sister are suffering. They are learning to leash walk but prefer their tie-outs. Duke and Ruby are a bonded pair that need to be adopted together. Duke loves to cuddle and give kisses. He does have a bad habit of jumping on people (thanks Husky genes) so an experienced dog person would be ideal. Duke and Ruby did not grow up with kids, so they are still leery when kids are around, however Duke warms up fast and trusts more. He loves to play fetch, he and his sister have their routine worked out, he fetches, she steals it halfway back and she brings it to you. Its their system and they both get the exercise they need.

Story

I have had Ruby (and her brother Duke) since they were 8 weeks old. Their birthday is Halloween day, 2022. Ruby loves being outside chasing a tennis ball. She has an incredible prey drive, so cats are a no no. She and her brother love to chase rabbits, squirrels, and any other smaller animal. She grew up on a 5 acre farm, so she's used to having room to run. I had to move into town and she and her brother are suffering. They are learning to leash walk but prefer their tie-outs. Duke and Ruby are a bonded pair that need to be adopted together. Ruby loves to give kisses with the side of her tounge. She loves to copy her brother, jumping on people (thanks Husky genes) so an experienced dog person would be ideal. Duke and Ruby did not grow up with kids, so they are still leery when kids are around. She takes a little longer to warm up to people than her brother. Ruby's number one love is her tennis ball. You will throw out a rotator cuff before she's ever ready to stop.

Story

We have a very special dog for you to meet. His name isn't unique or outstanding but his story and his personality certainly are! This is Buddy. Buddy arrived into foster care 12/7/24. No, thats not a typo. Buddy has been in foster care for over a year. He was 6mo old when we got him and sadly, Buddy had Anaplasmosis. Anaplasmosis; also known as tick borne disease; caused Buddy to have dangerously low platelet counts. He was one of those special babies we just wanted to wrap in bubble wrap to keep him safe but Buddy had other plans. He wanted to dog. He wanted to play. He wanted to run with his foster siblings. Carefully and under the very watchful eye of his foster mom; he did! Buddy got to be a dog. Buddy has fought to get healthy for a year. A year of prednisone and sometimes other meds when he had complications to be healthy enough to safely neuter and live a normal life. Buddy WON!! He took his meds like a champ and he learned every day! We are ecstatic to say Buddy is finally healthy! His blood counts have held without the meds!! On the outside he looks like a normal dog. Ok, maybe a little chunky but prednisone does that. On the inside he's steel from fighting his hard won battle. Buddy is officially ready to find his forever!! Here's what's most important to know about Buddy's future forever home. He's a very determined boy who needs a home that can not only set but maintain boundaries!! This is non-negotiable for him. He's a big boy and sometimes stubborn. Buddy is good with other dogs of all sizes. Buddy is very gentle when taking treats from children, when hes told to and his boundaries are in place. Cats are a hard no. Buddy is house trained and pretty good on a leash. He does still pull but he didn't get much practice as a pup because of his health issues. It was to risky to expose him to potential bites ect. When Buddy came to us his counts were so low that trimming a nail to short could be life threatening so he wasn't taken for many walks. He will need practice. Buddy is an amazing dog and has fought so hard to get to this point. He deserves the world!! Buddy does get along easier and faster with women than men but he loves everyone. Buddy is a special case. But he will forever be your Buddy if you let him.

Tia

Maltese

Female, 7 yrs 2 mos

Plattsmouth, NE

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tia got her first groom last Friday and did great! This special girl has come so far since joining rescue. Tia is a 10yr old Maltese mix who was surrendered from a puppy mill back in November. Shes been working in her socializing and learning what a house is. Tia is not your typical dog. She does well with puppy pads and does enjoy her outside time. Tia is still learning that humans are ok. And we don't blame her. When you spend the first 7yrs of your life in a puppy mill; it changes you. Thankfully her puppy having days are over. Tia is fully vetted. She will require a calm home with understanding people who get that shes not a lap dog. Her family will need to understand that she has to take things at her pace. Her kennel is her safe spot. She loves to watch her foster siblings and resident dogs from the comfort of her doggy bed in the safety of her kennel. She's been thru somethings and patience is the key with her. Her trust cant be rushed, it has to be earned. She would do best with another dog her size for a companion that she can learn from. She maybe older but she deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort and safety. With unconditional love, patience and understanding. #nonprofitanimalrescue #puppymillsurvivor #fosteringsaveslives #cuteness #fosterpuppylove #fosterpuppiesofinstagram #survivorstrong

Rosie Ann

Chihuahua

Female, Adult

Pacific Junction, IA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rosie is the epitome of a loving lap dog!! She is a long-hair Chihuahua. She is sweet and gives hugs and likes to play a little fetch. Doesn’t require much more exercise than that. She was purchased from a Chihuahua breeder in Nebraska about 5 years ago. She is a larger Chihuahua at 19 lbs. She is potty trained to use an indoor system but still loves to go outdoors too. She does shed being a long hair. We are retired and are wanting to travel extensively and she does not enjoy the car rides. She does settle down after driving but we hate to stress her out. Which is the reason for looking for a home where she doesn’t have to leave often.
