Angus
Shih Tzu Mix
Neutered Male
5 Months old
Aye! It's Angus McFluff at the rescue. Only the name is Scotch, because our Angus is a Pekingese,
Shih Tzu, Poodle and Pug mix, born in October of 2012 and weighing in at 16 lbs. Angus is a friendly boy who enjoys the com-pany of other small dogs and is good with children. He hasn't been around any large dogs or cats yet, but he likes to be around people and could probably be persuaded to accept them as new friends. He is energetic and playful and not fearful of new experiences. He is not protective of his food, but prefers not to have to share his toys with other dogs. Angus is current on vaccinations and scheduled to be microchipped and neutered in April. He comes to his name and understands "no" and will use a piddle pad if left alone too many hours. Angus is looking for a family and a place to call home and he'd be willing to share with another small dog.

Tito
Adoption
Pending
Labrador/ Springer Spaniel mix
Neutered male
1 year old
Tito is a one year old Labrador/ Springer Spaniel mix who weighs about 50 pounds.
He is very friendly and loves all dogs, cats and kids! .Tito is gentle and he's leash
trained to the “heel.” command. He can be a bit enthusiastic and is an energetic
young boy. That energy can be burned off with a good game of fetch in a fenced in
area or going for a run with his owner. Tito is able to jump a
verage height fences,
so privacy fencing would be perfect. He is well loved by his current family, but
due to health issues of a family member, they are not able to keep him. He is housebroken,
neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.
Skipper
Miniature Pinscher
Neutered male
7 months old
Meet Skipper, commonly known as Kip! He is a 7 month old neutered Miniature Pincher,
weighing in at only 14 lbs., who is available for adoption. Kip is shy at first,
but once you spend a little time with him, he wants to cuddle on your lap. He gets
along well with other dogs and children, but also enjoys chasing cats. He will do
best in a home that doesn't have a lot of traffic coming in and out of the house,
because if he becomes
frightened, he could easily slip out the door. Kip is playful and high energy, but
enjoys his naps too, He is house-trained and crate trained, current on vaccinations
and taking a 
heartworm preventative. Kip will be micro-chipped before going to his
new home. He is not protective of his food or toys.
If you can provide Kip a forever home, please email info@nebraskanokill.org.

American Eskimo
nd just
being with his family. Yoyo has no interest in cats and currently shares a home
with one, but needs to go to a home without children or other dogs. He enjoys being
the center of attention and is especially fond of ear scratches. His coat is soft
and fluffy and will require regular grooming, which he also enjoys. Yoyo’s perfect
home would have a safe yard to play in and adults to love and care for him.Bear
Belgian Tervuren mix
Neutered male
3 ½ years old
Need some Bear hugs? We've got your Bear! This loveable boy weighs in at 85 pounds
and is looking for his forever home. He is 3 ½ years old and we believe he is a Belgian
Tervuren mix. He does well with most other dogs if properly introduced, but he doesn't
care for feline company. He enjoys going for long walks or runs and spending time
with his family while keeping a watchful
eye on them. He knows several basic commands,
walks well on a leash and is both house and crate trained. Bear likes people of any
age as long as he is given a little time for introductions. Bear is current on his
vaccinations, heartworm negative and taking heartworm and flea preventatives. Bear's
ideal home would be with an active family and have a safe area for him to play.
Pitbull mix
l big green
eyes that are as big as the moon. She is up-to-date on all of her shots, is microchipped
and spayed. She is an active and energetic dog who loves fetch and run in the yard,
but her favorite activity is cuddling on the couch. She knows all the basic commands
including sit, stay, down, leave it and off, and she walks well on a leash. Luna
can be protective of her home and prefers to be the center of attention. She is often
wary of strangers and would do best in a quiet home with someone she can bond with.
Labrador mix
Australian Shepherd
sit,
stay, down and go potty. He also comes when called as long as there isn't a rabbit
or cat involved. Josh plays well with non-dominant dogs of a similar size or larger
but he prefers to be the center of attention. As a working-breed dog he needs plenty
of exercise and playtime, so a where Josh can be included in an active lifestyle
would be a good fit. Josh loves snuggling and being petted and will fall asleep in
your lap with a smile on his face. He is more trusting of women than men but does
fine after proper introductions. Josh would do best in a home without small children
because of his herding instincts. This beautiful boy is neutered, current on his
vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and ready for his forever home.
Lhasa Apso/Chow mix
would love
to find a permanent parking place with a family who understands his needs. The key
to making his motor purr is to accelerate slowly and let him make your acquaintance
on his own terms. Once he has kicked your tires a time or two, he'll come in to check
out your new car smell. All he requires is a little TLC. Coupe is hoping to avoid
small children in the cross walk of his new home, but he'd do well with most pets
and older children. Indicative of the Chow breed, his tongue looks like he used it
to check his own oil. Coupe is seeking an adoptive home, but fostering would be a
great way to give this little guy a test drive. Warning: Like most coupes, he's a
chick magnet! Translation: He especially loves the ladies...Gizmo
Silky Terrier
Neutered male
11 years old
Gizmo is an 11-year-old silky terrier with plenty of pep. Snacking, playing, walking and curling up next to his people are his favorite things. He prefers to be by his people, but not on their lap. Gizmo doesn’t care for cats or big dogs, but does okay with smaller dogs as long as he doesn’t have to share toys with them. He
is house trained. Gizmo must take daily medication, but it's pretty simple to give and part of his routine. He is active, but not hyperactive and wants to be with his people. He has not been crate trained, but is not destructive if loose in the house. Gizmo has done well with children of varying ages. Gizmo would do best in a home where he can be a constant loyal companion to his owner and if they’re willing to take him for walks he would be a very happy dog. He deserves a forever home and a family to love him.
Pit Bull mix

Neutered male
18 months old

AND run around the yard. He really enjoys his daily exercise and would make a wonderful
running/ walking partner. He is crate trained and will sleep in it at night, but
much prefers to cuddle up with his human. Jasper loves all ot
her dogs he’s met and
treats every person as a new, instant best friend. Jasper has just recently
learned to live with a cat too!
He will sit, lie down or wait if
told to do so. Jasper is smart
and would be happy to learn
new tricks for treats. This hand-
some boy will make a great
addition to an active family who
can include him in their daily
activities. If you are considering
a new family member, Jasper
would love to be the one you
take home. His ideal home

love to learn more if their are treats involved! Charlie is not protective of his

Jack Russell Terrier
rainer so they know how to handle his possession
tendencies. He is up to date on shots, has been neutered and heartworm tested. He
would do best in a home without small children – a teenager would be fine. Buckley

you see him as part of your family?
Labrador RetrieverMighty
Rat Terrier
Spayed Female
6 years old
Mighty is a 6 year old Rat Terrier who
needs to find her loving home! Mighty
has lived in a home that houses a daycare and loves kids! She has not been around
dogs and we are uncertain how she would interact with another dog in the home. She
loves to snuggle and loves anyone who will give her a tummy rub! She loves to go
for walks when the weather is good 
but will be content to stroll around your backyard
when the sun is not shining. Mighty is spayed, up to date on shots and has been heartworm
tested. Mighty’s current owner is moving into a home where a dog is not allowed –
she is very well loved by her current owner and will certainly give that love back
to the person who will make sure she is “mightily” loved! Please consider adopting
her so she can continue to get some tummy rubs!
Rascal
Pekingese Mix
Neutered Male
14 months old
What a Rascal we have! Our Rascal is a Pekingese and Pug mix who was born in February
of 2012. He gets along well with people or dogs of any size and enjoys going for
walks. Rascal has never met a cat, so his attitude towards them is an unknown. Rascal
weighs 11 lbs., is current on his vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He
likes to play fetch, 
understands some of his basic commands and he's ready to learn
more. He is not crate trained and has an occasional accident inside if left too long.
Rascal is only going out twice a day currently, but we believe a regular schedule
and a couple more trips outside will get him house trained. Rascal is good with having
his toenails trimmed and will need regular grooming for his 'low shed', longer hair
coat. He is not protective of his food, but can be toy possessive towards other dogs.
As his name implies, Rascal is playful and active and he's looking for a loving home
where he has someone to play with and a safe yard to play in.

Morocco
Chihuahua/ Pekingese Mix
Neutered Male
18 months old
Morocco, or "Mo" as he is known by his friends, is an 8 lb. Chihuahua/ Pomeranian mix. He was born on 12/15/2011 and he has been neutered. Mo was diagnosed with a luxating patella (floating knee cap) and is scheduled for surgery late April. We expect him to be fully recovered by June. He is crate trained and will need a regular schedule and work on his house-training. He understands several commands, but can be possessive of some toys so would do best in a home without small children. He is not protective of his food. Mo is playful and high energy, so regular exercise is a must. He likes playing with small dogs, but has not been in the company of large dogs or cats. He is fearful of strangers and does best when he is allowed to come to them at his own pace. Mo has long silky hair that needs regular brushing to keep it looking good. He is current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and will be microchipped during his knee surgery.
Donations to help with his medical expenses are greatly appreciated.
Isabella
Chihuahua mix
Soon to be Spayed female
2-3 years old
Isabella is a Chihuahua mix between 2 and 3 years old who ended up pregnant and in
a shelter. We felt the environment was not the best place for her to raise her family,
so she was moved into our foster care program. Her pups were born 3/28/13 and she
will be available after they're weaned, which will be about June. Isabella is friendly
to people of all sizes and has lived with other small dogs. She is up to date on
her vaccinations, heartworm negative and is microchipped. Isabella weighs only 8
lbs. and would do best in a home with children old enough to understand how fragile
small dogs are. She appears to be a low energy dog, but having 5 babies to feed could
do that to anyone!
Nikita
Pit Bull Terrier
11 years old
Spayed female
Meet Nikita an elder bull (senior pit bull) who celebrates being 11 years young on
May 15th of this year. While some will consider her age or breed a reason to overlook
her let us tell you why Nikita will make a great companion. What you see is what
you get…her physical size is established (between 50-55lbs) along with her temperament
and personality fully developed. Upon minutes after meeting 
Nikita for the first
time she was giving us kisses and sitting by our side on the ground wagging her tail
due to the excitement of meeting new people. Nikita is well trained and knows a handful
of commands (wait, okay, no, etc). She will require less exercise than most dogs
but still has a youthful play about her making Nikita a great match for many family
situations. Nikita is accustomed to having someone around the house most of the day,
so her ideal match would be a situation where she isn’t left alone for longer than
4-5 hours at a time. She is great with kids and would thrive playing with them in
the yard and then lying next to them while they do homework or cuddling up to them
on the couch. Nikita has lived with cats in the past and enjoys the company of other
dogs. She is potty trained and doesn’t need to be crated while you are away. Nikita
is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all her vaccinations, and in good health.
She is amazing in person and one cannot help but to fall in love with her after meeting
her. It takes a special person to open their heart to a senior dog if that person
is you and you're interested in Nikita email info@nebraskanokill.org
Lia

Spayed female

going to the dog park or for a long walk, and then snuggling up with you for a nap.
Lia has lived with other dogs (but not cats) and thrives running and playing with
her friends at the dog park. An ideal home for Lia would be an active family who
can include her in their lifestyle as she wants nothing more than to be your 
sidekick.

crate trained, and knows several basic commands. She is spayed, microchipped, and

you a hug at a moment’s notice. If interested in Lia, please email info@nebraskanokill.org
Riley
Labrador Retreiver
8 years old
Neutered male
Meet Riley, the Yellow Lab with a heart of gold. Riley will be 9 years old in September
and he is hoping to be able to celebrate it with his new family. Riley is a bit shy
when he meets strangers, but will warm up quickly and be your best friend. He is
house trained and is not destructive
if allowed loose in the home. He was crated
when he was younger. He seems to do best with smaller dogs and is okay with cats.
Riley has gained weight because he was not getting exercised when his owner’s health
declined. Before he put on the extra weight, he would fetch a tennis for an hour!
Now, he wants to get back in shape so he has the stamina to play longer. Riley enjoys
going for walks and understands his basic commands. He is not protective of food
or toys, but would do best in a home without children. He is current on his vaccinations
and microchipped. Riley’s ideal home would have a safe yard to play in and an active
family who could include him their daily activities.
Sassy
Chihuahua-Poodle-Sheltie
8 weeks old
Female
The first puppy born was Sassy, a 1.5-pound female. She’s white with symmetrical
tan markings on her head and a perfect tan spot at the base of her tail. Her pink
nose has black speckles and she’s definitely the most v
ocal pup in the litter. Sassy
nursed the
longest but is finally eating soft food.
Buttercup
Chihuahua-Poodle-Sheltie
8 weeks old
Female
Buttercup is the other female and she was born second. She’s also the smallest in the litter at 1 lb. Buttercup is a kisser and she’s usually last to the dinner table, but she can
t
ussle if she gets picked on. She has white
socks, a white collar, a white tip on her tail
and four white socks.
Leo
Chihuahua-Poodle-Sheltie
8 weeks old
Male
Leo is by far the largest puppy at 2.5 lbs. He was born third, but has made up for
lost time. He is adventurous and raring to go. Leo was the first to escape the whelping
box and seems more independent. He’s a blonde 
coated stunner with steel blue eyes
and white feet.
Doogie
Chihuahua-Poodle-Sheltie
8 weeks old
Male
Doogie was born fourth and he is not as sure of himself. Doogie is a follower and
would probably fit in well with about any other small dog. He has a white collar
and stripe down the middle of his face. His tail is the curliest and darker than
his body with a white tip. Doogie weighs 1.5 lbs.
Spud
Chihuahua-Poodle-Sheltie
8 weeks old
Male
Spud was the last born and the runt at birth, but he has learned to run with the
“big” dogs and is a feisty spitfire, despite his size (1 lb.). He has the darkest
coat 
and muzzle with the same white collar and socks. Spud’s eyes are dark, his tail
is tipped in white, and his pink little foot pads have black speckles.
Bella
Saint Bernard
5 years old
Spayed female
Bella is a 5 year old Saint Bernard who is in need of a forever home. Weighing in at 110 lbs., she is a friendly, low energy dog who knows all of her basic commands. Bella likes people and dogs of all sizes and would probably do okay with cats based on her laid back attitude. She is house trained, crate trained and not protective of food or toys. On a leash, she occasionally pulls because going for walks is not part of her regular routine. Bella is microchipped, current on all vaccinations and taking a monthly heartworm preventative. She needs moderate exercise, regular grooming and a family to love her. If you could be her new best friend, Bella will be a loyal and loving companion.
Barkley
King Charles Cavalier Spaniel
6 years old
Neutered male
Barkley is a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. He's having a birthday in July and is hoping to be able to spend it with his new family. He is somewhat shy when first introduced, but warms up easily. He lives with a St. Bernard, so is comfortable with large dogs and also likes small dogs. We aren't sure about cats, but because of his initial shyness and fear of loud noises (fireworks & thunder), Barkley would do best in a home without young children. He is house trained and crate trained, He knows his basic commands, enjoys going for walks and does well on a leash. He is microchipped, current on vaccinations and taking a heartworm preventative. Barkley would love a home where he can relax and live up to the "King" title of his breed.
