Adoption Alert for Dexter! This amazing boy was a local surrender as his loving family had to move out of state for cancer treatments. He was truly one of our best and we knew it the moment we picked him up from this heartbreaking situation.

Dexter was adopted and has gone right back into a fantastic loving home. He gets walks, socialization and plenty of love! Although we miss this boy, we know he’s in his forever home! Thank you for choosing adoption and Dexter, Blake! We also want to wish all best to his previous mom during her treatments! Keep being the great boy you are Dex!

We are absolutely blown away by your support yet again!!

For the third year in a row, our friends at Hy-Vee (Applewood) hosted their amazing Ribs for Rescues event for us today, with 10% of all rib sales benefiting Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska. And once again… they SOLD OUT! 🎉

We had supporters stop by from Lincoln, Plattsmouth, Bennington, Council Bluffs, Glenwood, Gretna, Blair, and beyond. While this wasn’t a supply drive, many of you still showed up with donations and monetary gifts for the animals in our rescue. Our adoptable pups received lots of attention, the weather was perfect, and we loved getting the chance to visit with so many wonderful people.

Whether you stopped by to say hello, meet the dogs, make a donation, or buy some delicious ribs, thank you!! Your support means the world to us and to the animals we serve. We truly have some of the best supporters a rescue could ask for. A huge thank you as well to the incredible team at Applewood Hy-Vee for putting on such an awesome event! Your generosity and community support help make our lifesaving work possible. 💜

We received quite a bit of interest in our adoptable dogs, so we expect to have a lot of applications to review over the next several days. Thank you in advance for your patience as we begin processing them.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this event another huge success!! 🤗🐾

Apollo Adoption Announcement! Some dogs start out life blessed with a wonderful life and family. This was not the case with sweet Apollo.

He was given away at a gas station and thankfully to a good person who took to a shelter. The owner had just planned to dump him but fate stepped in and from the high kill shelter he made his way to Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska. Apollo had a fantastic foster dad that is a shepherd fan and taught him so much! Soon this 4 month old puppy was ready to find his amazing family.

It wasn’t long before Apollo’s shepherd family found him! He now has a fantastic loving mom, dad and older shepherd brother named Zeus! He is living life as an adored family member and only happiness is ahead for Apollo!

We are grateful that Nicole and Micha chose adoption and our handsome Apollo!

Our adoptable Jake is celebrating his 1st Birthday!! 🎉 He’s been let down by lots of people in his past, so his incredible foster family made sure he felt loved by showering him with presents, birthday cookies, and plenty of attention.

In honor of his big day, Jake was even granted a rare privilege… paws on the counter were officially allowed. Just for the birthday boy, of course 🫣

Happy 1st Birthday, Jake! We can’t wait for the day you celebrate with a forever family of your very own 💙

Sweet Buffy (far left on dad’s lap) got adopted! 💕

After spending her prior life undersocialized, Buffy learned that walks, people, and new adventures aren’t so scary thanks to her amazing foster mom and fur brother. Watching her come out of her shell was such a joy!

Now she’s off to living her best life ever with the Rahn family, devoted Poodle lovers who are ready to give her all the love, cuddles, and lap time she could ever want. Congratulations to this crew thank you for always choosing adoption! 🐩
