Story
Sirobi is 4 years old her birthday is February 6th. The reason for rehoming is because not only do we also have her brother who is extremely aggressive and has attacked her on numerous occasions. But we also don’t have the time to give her the life she deserves so for her best interest we are looking for a loving single pet home. She does amazing with kids of all ages since she grew up with them. She is potty trained but still has accidents from time to time. We don’t know how she will react with other animals as she has shown aggression towards other dogs but there have also been times where she has played with other dogs and was fine. She does show toy aggression signs to other animals but never to people.

Story
We adopted Millie about 10 months ago from Capital Humane Society. She is approximately 3 years old, but we dont know for sure, as she was a rescue. She had been rescued from a hoarding situation with approximately 8 other dogs in the home. We chose Millie because when we went to meet several dogs, she immediately just dropped into our laps and wanted to be held. Her only goal in life is to be loved and be near her humans. She has been great with our 3 year old daughter, but she just doesnt have good spacial awareness when it comes to her, and she is 70lbs of muscle. She frequently knocks her over, not intentionally, she just doesnt realize how big she is and our daughter is very easily put off balance. Again, this is no fault of hers, Millie just thinks of herself as a small lap dog. Millie would do great with kids that are just a little bit older/bigger than what our daughter is.

Story
Ace is a former shelter dog that would love to find his way out of boarding as the kennel environment is starting to wear on him after several months. He is 6-7 years old and weighs approximately 62 pounds. Our best guess on his breed is an American pit bull terrier mix of some kind.   Ace loves to go on walks and only pulls when he spots a squirrel. He does not enjoy water, but will sit like a good boy during bath time. We suggest that Ace be an only dog and think he would do best with older children.   In general, Ace loves cuddling and is usually relaxed. But watch out because Ace likes to keep you on your toes when he has a case of the zoomies. He also loves to chew on toys, but they need to be tough and durable.   Suggested adoption donation: $300.00   Foster/Adoption form available at nebraskanokill.org     October 21, 2024, 12:18 am

Story
Cain is an American pit bull terrier mix and a former shelter dog that has been in boarding for several months. He is neutered and weighs 55 pounds. This 6-year-old, goofy boy needs some training to be the best dog he can be, but our organization is willing to pay for his training if we can find the right foster or adoptive home.   Cain loves to cuddle up in his blankets and wouldn’t mind relaxing to a movie with you. He is great at going outside because he loves to sunbathe. Cain also likes to chase toys, especially when it’s his idea. Do you have a fenced yard where he could enjoy time outdoors and play fetch? He also walks fairly well on leash.   Cain has lived with other dogs, but doesn’t always get along the greatest, so we'd prefer to find a home where he could be the only dog. He loves people, but we also think he would live his best life in a home with adults and perhaps older children.   Suggested adoption donation: $300.00 Foster/adoption forms available at: nebraskanokill.org  October 21, 2024, 12:18 am

Story
Aurora Bully mix Spayed female 2 years old, 41 pounds Two-year-old Aurora was in a tough situation, but she had neighbors who cared and took her in when she was facing an uncertain future. Aurora’s “helpers” made sure to get her spayed, microchipped and updated on her vaccinations, but they are moving soon and need to find a more permanent home for her. Aurora is housetrained and weighs approximately 41 pounds. She loves to cuddle next to you or on your lap when you sit down and is very sweet with children, gently following them around. Aurora knows several commands (sit, lay down, outside) and is very smart and eager to learn more. She’ll also go into her kennel when asked.   She is curious and eager to meet other dogs on walks and she does well at the dog park. Aurora also seems submissive to cats. She’s playful and, as with most young dogs, can be high energy at times so might do well with someone who takes her for frequent walks or an occasional run. Aurora is anxious to find her fur-ever home and with that adorable face and relaxed temperament, we’re hoping someone will find her as irresistible as we do. BONUS: Aurora’s adoption fee is partially covered, so please submit your application via our website at:  www.NebraskaNoKill.org . Suggested adoption donation: $225.00    October 21, 2024, 12:18 am

Story
Meet Akimaru, a neutered male Pit Bull mix with a sweet and loving nature, looking for his forever home! Akimaru was surrendered to CHS by his previous owner due to his habit of digging holes, but he's ready for a fresh start in a home where he can feel safe and loved. Akimaru is social with other dogs and enjoys spending time with people, though he can get overstimulated quickly by invasive dogs. Because of this, he would do best in a calm and quiet environment, ideally with respectful dogs who can match his energy. He may start off a little shy and timid, but with time, he warms up and becomes affectionate, enjoying attention and pets from his humans. If you're looking for a dog who may need a little time to adjust but will become a loyal and loving companion, Akimaru could be the perfect fit. With patience and the right environment, he'll thrive and show his true, gentle personality. Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 58 Age: 1yrs 6mths 2wks

Story
My name is Murphy and I am a gorgeous brindle boy.  Per my DNA test I'm 37% American pitbull terrier, 12% Australian cattle dog and 7% Labrador retriever. I am a good boy, sadly I've been at the shelter for a long time and here is what you need to know: I'm a very low maintenance boy, as long as I get a daily walk to sniff and an enrichment activity such a Kong or a chew toy I'm happy and relaxed.  I'm kennel trained ( I love it, it's my safe place) and muzzle trained if you live in an area where i need to wear a muzzle to go for a walk. I know sit, down, wait, I love walks and hikes and walk pretty well on leash (as long as there is nothing interesting to chase), car rides, belly rubs under the sun, eating ice, doing zoomies on the snow, and I love people!  I have a high prey drive so no small dogs or cats for me. I like children but I think it's best that I live with older ones as I might be a little too strong for them. If you think I can come to your house and show you what a good boy I am, please reach out and let's meet!   Thank you!!!  Love, Murphy.  Thanks to our amazing Angel Sponsors, our long term pups now come with reduced adoption fees, alleviating financial road blocks for some, and making it even easier to open your heart and home to a furry friend. The adoption fee is $100 plus tax and covers age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter and a home training session.  Applications are typically worked in time stamp order based on date/time of submission.  If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee.  It may save you a trip to bring them with you when you visit, if you are certain you want to adopt a new family member. *****We are currently operating by appointment only during the social distancing stage of quarantine.   If you want to meet this pet, or are interested in adopting, please submit an inquiry or email to tchspapillion@gmail.com. Someone from the rescue will contact you and/or your family and determine, on a broad level, whether you might be a fit for the animal.  If so, they will provide instructions for completing the application. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted to set up a time to meet at the shelter or the foster home.   The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the dog counselors or the foster.   If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit.

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
Kai is strikingly handsome Pittie mix, born 12/31/2022.   He was given his name because of his beautiful blue eyes since "Kai" means "ocean" in Hawaiian.   Kai is move-in ready:  he is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash.  He can be trusted not to be destructive of items in the home.  He loves playing with toys; however, he is a super chewer so his toys need to be very sturdy.   Kai is food-oriented and very smart, which makes training him easy.  He still has lots of puppy energy and plays roughly with other dogs, but, he is currently trying to learn to play more politely.   When you meet Kai, you will fall in love with his big, happy smile and incredibly soft coat.  If Kai seems to be the right dog for you, below is information about adopting him.   Applications are currently being accepted. The suggested adoption fee for Kai is $365.  Bullies-N-Beyond is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

Story
Luna, a Pitty mix, was on the euthanazia 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 small dogs and is slowly being acquainted with bigger resident dogs.  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 recognizes her name well and knows how to sit, but is still learning to listen.  She enjoys eating and loves treats.  She currently weighs about 50 lbs.  She is definitely a fun pup! The suggested adoption fee for Luna is $365.  Bullies-N-Beyond is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.
