Meet Hutch! Hutch is a high energy boy that would love an active home that will keep him very busy. He loves people of all kinds though is still working on being polite when greeting people or playing. He LOVES to jump up and try to give you kisses. A home with older kids that can also work on his training would be best. If you are interested in giving this goofy boy a new home, come meet him today!

Story
Meet Kimber! This cute older girl came into CHS when her previous owner could no longer have her. She is a sweet heart that would do best in a low key home without little kids rough housing. She enjoys playing with other dogs that match her play style and would make a great companion for anyone who is looking for a dog past the puppy stage! Come meet Kimber today!

Story
Frankie is a 10 month old Husky Aussie mix. She is sweet, smart, and playful. She is spayed, has all her shots, is house trained, and knows her basic commands. She gets along well with cats, dogs, and every person she has ever met! We just found out Bellevue has a 3 pet limit, and she is our 4th so we need to rehome her ASAP. She would be a great addition to any home!

Story
My name is Smokie. I’m a 4-5 year old, 10 lb Poodle mix I’m not interested in marathon games of fetch or acting like I drank three espressos. I’d rather take a nice walk, supervise whatever you’re doing, and then settle onto the couch. If there’s room next to you, great. If not, I’ll just perch on the back of the couch behind your head. I enjoy being with my people.  I get along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids. I’m also crate trained, potty trained, and have good house manners because I’ve evolved beyond the need for chaos. I came into rescue from a local neglect case, but you’d never know it now. My foster family helped me realize life is actually pretty awesome when you’re loved well.  I’m now neutered, fully vetted, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and officially accepting applications from people who appreciate a low-maintenance best friend. I will need groomed regularly though. My adoption donation fee is $425.  Apply for me using the drop down menu on our website 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!! July 21, 2026, 2:49 pm
