Cold weather is coming, and darling Beezus is ready to be your personal lap warmer! 🥶

At 2 years old and 25 lbs, this girl is out of the puppy stages and is the perfect size for snuggling! Beezus is friendly, outgoing, and hands out kisses like it’s a contest. Kids? Absolutely! Big dogs, little dogs? Yep! Cats? She's lived with one before and did great! Basically, Beezus is an equal opportunity best friend 💕

Beezus had surgery on both knees before she turned a year old to correct luxating patellas, which made walking difficult. Thankfully, she's healed up beautifully and can run and play like any other pup! She'd love another friendly dog to play with, a cat to share her space with, or she'd be perfectly happy as your one and only, as long as you're willing to provide the snuggles.

She's housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is well behaved when left to roam the house. The perfect dog! She sleeps quietly through the night with her people, too. Beezus does have some seasonal allergies that have been well managed with Cytopoint injections as needed, typically during late summer and fall.

Beezus is the whole package! Sweet, playful, friendly, well behaved, and ready to be someone's favorite cuddle buddy. She's spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever home! Her adoption donation fee is $375.

If you’re looking for an awesome little companion, Beezus is ready to meet you! Please apply directly in the dropdown menu on our website at: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org

Baby got adopted!! 💕

Baby had loads of great applications, but of course, we could only choose one. Baby’s new parents’ daughter used to run her own reputable dog rescue here in town, and she’s still a good friend of our rescue. We knew Baby wouldn’t find a better home than with Don and Terri! They might love their dogs even more than they love their kids hahaha 😉 They are incredible dog parents!!!!

Baby’s new name is Kama’iki, a beautiful Hawaiian name meaning ‘my precious, beloved baby.’ They’ll be calling her Kei Kei (Kee Kee). LOVE IT!

Congratulations, and thank you for always choosing adoption!!!! Have the best life ever, sweet baby girl! 🐾

Our awesome little Chachi found his forever home! 🎉 Chachi’s life started out with an area breeder, but when he and his littermates didn’t sell fast enough, they were surrendered to us. Lucky day!

Chachi now has the best new mom and dad and a beautiful home with big backyard to call his own! Congratulations and thank you to the wonderful Bressman Family for choosing adoption! Go have the best life ever, sweet boy!!! ❤️🐾

More incoming today that needed Haven! Let’s round out the day with 2 more rescues for a total of 5 new faces!

These two strays were alone, scared and emaciated. They were turned into a shelter that frequently euthanizing for space. Yet sadly spay and neuter are still not being done to prevent these situations. And as always it’s the dogs that suffer.

Thanks to our amazing transporter Joan Olson. She is also fostering our 2 year old little scruffy 7.6 lb terrier/chi (very left side). His name is Barnabas Collins (name that old show lol?). He was neutered today, had a hernia repair and 2 teeth extracted. He’s going great and has settled in tonight in his foster home. He’s also doing fantastic with all the dogs and cats there!

Next up is Gertie our very thin little pug baby girl who is 12.6 pounds and around 9.5 months old. She was spayed today and as is common with short noses dogs due to her breathing the vet did not want to extract her residual baby teeth yet so she’d spend minimal time under anesthesia. We’re very grateful to her foster Susan Bowers Hertzler and her experience with the short nose breed. Once she puts a bit of weight on we’ll see about a dental. Little baby Gertie is great with small and larger dogs in her foster home and her mom says she “a doll and so sweet!”

I’d also like to give a shoot out to Beatrice Humane Society and the Director Carlee for all the great vet care from Dr Jones and help with transport. It’s fantastic when rescues/shelters are able to help each other out and have a shelter clinic/vet that is wonderful and close on distance!

Both of these sweet dogs will be up for adoption after our minimum 7-10 days in rescue. You can apply early, however, as always at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org

Welcome to Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska, Piper, Autumn, and Teddy!!! 🐾🐾🐾

These 3 were released to us yesterday by nearby commercial breeders who are downsizing and retiring these dogs.

All 3 are scared, smelly, and have urine stained feet and tails. Two have rotten teeth that need to be pulled, and one has what we believe to be urine scald on his back from spending 4 years in wire cages with dogs stacked above him, allowing urine to fall through the wire floors onto him. 😞

These innocent dogs have a lot of healing ahead of them, but they are finally getting their chance thanks to these 3 amazing foster homes for saying YES to those who need us most.

They will receive all the vet care they need, good quality food, and time to decompress and start learning what it means to trust and love humans. When they’re ready, we’ll find them the loving forever homes they so deserve.

Welcome to Haven, sweet babies. You are safe now and your lives are about to get a whole lot better! 💜🩵💜

Adoption Announcement for Charlotte! For all this girl went through in her first 2 years, Charlotte was honestly such a sweet and friendly girl and she is once again proof of the resilience and love a dog can hold in their hearts. After a hoarding situation and living in a basement and then being displaced due to a housing situation by her second owners Charlotte came to Haven Rescue.

She was emaciated and covered in fleas but her amazing foster mama, Cathy, and fur siblings welcomed her with open arms and paws. Slowly she put on weight and knew only love and safety. Charlotte has never met a lap she didn’t fit in or a face she wouldn’t kiss and she loves children.

Fast forward and Charlotte now has it all in her new home! A mom, dad, little human brother and a fur sibling who wanted another dog in her life. A perfect match and our hearts are full but we’ll always love that special girl. Have a wonderful life Charlotte and thank you to Elena and family for choosing adoption💗

Welcome Indy (formerly Ben) to Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska!!! 🩵💜🐾

Indy has had quite the life already! He was most likely originally dumped to fend for himself, and this little Cattle Dog has proven to be pretty smart and adventurous!

Thankfully, Haven's very own Lisa (on the left) is pretty well known around Omaha for her dog trapping skills. Lisa was alerted of Indy about a month ago, trapped him, and took him to the humane society where he was never claimed. Well… Indy eventually decided the humane society wasn’t his jam and he managed to escape NHS despite the multiple doors and security systems in place! 🙈

Lisa teamed up with one of NHS's crew members to track him down and trap him once again. Unfortunately, Indy had been hit by a car this time around. He was evaluated and cared for by NHS while he recovered.

Fast forward to yesterday, Lisa and Kristi officially broke Indy out of the shelter! Indy will be settling into foster care with Lisa, where he can decompress and start learning that humans aren't so scary after all. At his own pace, he will learn to trust and what it means to be loved. He'll be available for adoption, but first we need to get to know him and figure out what kind of home will be the best fit for him.

A huge thank you to some of the folks at Nebraska Humane Society for helping Indy, caring for him, and continuing to work with local rescues by transferring dogs like him when possible! Rescue teamwork at its finest! 🙌

And Lisa… AMAZING job sticking with this boy and being his biggest fan! You’re a rockstar for dogs! 👏

Welcome to Haven, Indy Boo! We’re so happy to have you!! 🐾
