Story
Moxxi is a sweetheart who wants to be friends with everyone. She loves running around the yard and going on adventures, on foot or in the car. She loves to cuddle and would love to be a lap dog when she doesn’t want to be playing of course. She has lived with cats and dogs and just wants to play with them and be besties. She does well with kids and loves to play with everyone. Ideally she would love a fenced in yard, a play mate and lots of toys. We just want her to have a good home and be happy and taken care of. She loves to be spoiled with chew toys aswell.

Story
Seeking Best Friend Forever!!! If you feel there is something missing in your life, we have the answer. It's Sawyer, the 45 lb happy hound. This adorable pup is just over a year old and full of love. There are so many great things about him, but some of the best are he's 100% potty trained, kennel trained, and walks well on a leash. Sawyer also does well free roaming the house without being destructive. He is very good about only chewing on his approved toys and chew bones. He's a super friendly pup and loves the company of both humans and dogs. Sawyer is enjoying the dogs in his foster home so much that we believe he would do best in a forever home with another active canine companion. Sawyer enjoys walks, car rides, playing with his dog friends, and most of all humans to love him. He is always ready to snuggle and has plenty of kisses to give. While he does enjoy children, Sawyer can be a bit overexcited to show his love and would not be the best fit for tiny tots. He is working hard on learning to keep all 4 feet on the ground and flop over for belly rubs rather than jumping up. Need a great walking partner? Dont miss out on this wonderful choice!  Sawyer is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. His adoption donation is $375. Applications can be filled out directly on our website in the drop down menu at https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org 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. We are a state licensed, 501c3 nonprofit rescue and the adoption donation may be tax deductible for you.  Thank you for choosing adoption!! March 15, 2025, 2:20 pm
