ft the commercial breeding world behind. After spending his entire life with very little human interaction, the world can still feel like a pretty scary place. New people, new experiences, and everyday life are all things he’s learning one small step at a time. Despite everything he has been through, this little guy is showing us just how resilient he is. Slowly, but surely he is opening up more and more.
When Scout first arrived in his foster home, he was incredibly timid and unsure of everyone around him. Watching him slowly come out of his shell and trust us has been one of the most heartwarming things. These days he comes when he’s called, seeks out affection, wags his tail, and has discovered that being loved isn’t so bad after all. His favorite place is the backyard, where he happily explores and gains confidence every day. He’s doing really well with potty training, loves his crate, and sleeps soundly through the night. His crate has become his little safe haven.
Scout is still a work in progress, and that’s ok. He will need a little continued help with potty training and walking on a leash. A securely fenced yard is a must, and we’d love to see him in a home with another small, friendly resident dog who can help show him the ropes. He enjoys treats, but doesn’t care for toys yet.
Scout is not looking for someone who expects him to be perfect right away or a home with wild toddlers. He needs a patient, loving home that will give him the time and encouragement to continue discovering how wonderful life can be. In return, you’ll have the incredible privilege of watching a little dog who has known very little kindness finally learn what it means to be loved. Every day he gets a little braver, a little happier, and a little more comfortable. He will need groomed regularly.
Scout is now neutered, fully vetted and vaccinated, had a dental cleaning with 20+ teeth removed (eats like a champ regardless), is on heartworm prevention, and is ready to meet you!

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!!
