Description
Dog Breed: Schipperke (medium coat). Sora is the cutest little Schipperke pup. He is 11 months old and weighs just 7 lbs. His former owners bought him from a breeder and then surrendered him to the vet clinic to be euthanized when it was found he was sick. We couldn’t let that happen. Sora needed life saving liver shunt surgery down at K-State and is still recovering in his foster home. More details to come. PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: havenanimalrescuenebraska/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!!

Overview:
The Schipperke, a lively and diminutive breed, originated in Belgium as a rat-catching barge dog, a heritage reflected in its name, meaning "little captain" or "little skipper." Physically, they are easily recognized by their compact, sturdy build, fox-like face, and most notably, their profuse, dense black double coat, often appearing tailless due to traditional docking (though now often naturally bobbed or left long). Despite their small size, typically 10-16 pounds, Schipperkes possess a bold, confident, and somewhat mischievous temperament. They are highly intelligent, independent, and fiercely loyal to their families, making them excellent watchdogs with their alert nature and surprisingly deep bark. While adaptable to apartment living due to their size, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. They can thrive in families with children and other pets if properly socialized, though their independent streak may require patient training. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to specific issues like Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and epilepsy, making responsible breeding practices crucial for maintaining their well-being.
