Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Omaha, Nebraska

Hi there! I’m Cora. Professional lap warmer, treat enthusiast, and part-time neighborhood watch committee. I’m 2 years old, 12 lbs, and believed to be some kind of Terrier mix... maybe with a little Yorkie sprinkled in. Honestly, nobody knows for sure, but what they DO know is I’m hella cute.

I didn’t always live the good life. I came from a really sad neglect situation where I lived outside with more than 20 other small dogs in filth. My fur was so long and matted it hurt, I was skinny, and humans were kind of a mystery to me. But look at me now! I’ve discovered soft blankets, regular meals, and something called “being spoiled”, and I highly recommend all of it.

These days, my favorite place in the whole world is curled up in your lap. I’m still a little shy at first, but every day I get braver and more confident in my foster home. I love walks and strut proudly on my leash like the tiny queen I am. I’m also very food motivated. You got treats? Great, we’ll be besties after I warm up to you.

At bedtime, I sleep quietly in my kennel like a good girl... although if there’s an invitation to snuggle under a blanket beside my foster mama, I will absolutely accept that offer immediately. Oh, and guess what? I’m fully housebroken now too. Smart, sweet, AND cute. Practically unheard of.

I get along wonderfully with other dogs. Adult men can still be a little scary to me sometimes, but my brave little self is working hard on it and getting better every day. I also like to bark occasionally, so apartments are probably not the best fit for me.

I’m spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventatives, freshly groomed, and officially ready to find my forever family! My adoption donation fee is $450. Please apply directly in the dropdown menu on our website at https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application

*All of our dogs are adopted out as indoor companion animals. No invisible fences. Applicants must pass a background check, veterinary reference check, and home check.
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!!
