A big shoutout to Jay Moore Landscaping, who donated and planted six trees in our meadow, along with donating food to our pet food pantry!

Not only are they going to make our meadow look incredible, but you'll know who to thank when you're enjoying shade at the Walk & Dog Fest in the coming years!

These adoptable dogs are both named Oscar, but they'd like to know who you think is the most Oscar.

Thank you so, so much to Yappy Pack for all they've done for NHS over the years! They are celebrating 20 (!!!) years of giving back to animals in need, and we are so appreciative for everything they do. From playgroups to homemade treats and toys to an unbelievable amount of generosity, we cannot say enough about them. Thank you!!

If you've never checked out one of their playgroups, be sure to do so!

Kyyng immediately melts in your arms and gives some gentle face licks. We mean this in the nicest way possible: he was given so much heart that we're not sure he was given all of his brain.

Need to relieve a little stress on Tuesday? Great! Our dogs could use that as well!

We are opening up our "Barks & Rec" program for you to "rent a dog" on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The concept is simple: our dogs can get time out of the shelter to relax and meet some new friends, and you get a buddy to spend the day with.

There are six opening for day outings and six opportunities for overnight stays, so sign up quickly! https://bit.ly/3YM49fJ

The final Dog of the Day is ...

Well, it's ALL OF THE DOGS!

We have 78 (!!!) dogs who would love to find a home today, and all of the dogs 6+ months old currently have "pick your price" adoptions!

Can't adopt right now? You can still help by saying something nice about each dog under their pictures and sharing them with the world!

"You never have any small dogs available for adoption."

OK so what do you call these cuties?!

What tricks would you teach Oscar? (wrong answers only)

Cathy, our Director of Training at NHS, wants us to remind you about our awesome training classes. She has SO many tips and tricks for your dogs, including walking nicely on leash, eating slower, greeting people at the door appropriately, taking treats nicely and more.

We have open spots available for our upcoming basic training classes (once a week for four weeks). Plus, we have drop-in classes every Tuesday with no longterm commitment. https://bit.ly/3yIXd50

Carnella is the dog of the day!

If you have a big yard or lots of property, this ball of energy from the Nebraska Humane Society would love to meet you.

Ope. Let me just squeeze by ya and let you know that we have lots of dogs again!

We need a big adoption weekend! Dogs 6+ months are "pick your price." Adoptions begin at 10 a.m. today!

"Pick your price" is exactly how it sounds. You, the adopter, decide the adoption fee (plus applicable licensing). See all of our dogs here: https://bit.ly/3jtl3cD

As you may expect, "pick your price" doesn't come close to covering the costs of caring for the dogs (food, spay/neuter, vaccinations, extra medical treatment, keeping the building warm/cool, general supplies, etc.). If you can't adopt but still would like to help with their care, you can do so here: https://bit.ly/3Yi3jWB

¡Feliz Viernes! Estamos emocionados de compartir que nuestra ofrenda ya está instalada en el vestíbulo. ¡Y este año es aún más grande!

El Día de los Mu***os es una tradición Mexicana querida, dedicada a recordar y celebrar la vida de nuestros seres queridos que ya no están con nosotros, incluyendo a nuestras queridas mascotas. Este día es un momento especial para honrar su memoria y el amor que trajeron a nuestras vidas.

En la tradición Mexicana, la noche del 27 de octubre es especialmente significativa para conmemorar a nuestras mascotas que ya no están. Se cree que las almas de nuestros “lomitos” (perritos) y “michis” (gatitos) regresan a sus hogares durante las primeras horas del 28 de Octubre. Nuestra ofrenda les da un espacio acogedor para celebrar y recordarlos con amor y gratitud.

Los invitamos con cariño a contribuir a nuestro altar trayendo una foto de su mascota, junto con un juguete o premio si desean hacer una donación al albergue en su memoria. Para su conveniencia, hemos proporcionado marcos de papel en el vestíbulo para exhibir la foto de su mascota. Por favor recuerden que el vestíbulo es un espacio público, por lo que les recomendamos no traer artículos insustituibles o de alto valor sentimental. La ofrenda permanecerá hasta el 3 de noviembre.

Gracias por acompañarnos en esta hermosa tradición para honrar a nuestras queridas mascotas. Sus contribuciones ayudarán a que nuestra ofrenda sea un tributo significativo y especial. 💜

Happy Friday! As we approach Dia De Los Mu***os, we're excited to share that our ofrenda (altar) is now set up in the lobby, and it’s even larger this year!

Dia De Los Mu***os is a cherished Mexican tradition dedicated to remembering and celebrating the lives of our loved ones who have passed, including our beloved pets. This holiday is a time to honor their memory and the joy they brought into our lives.

In Mexican tradition, the night of October 27 is particularly special for commemorating our pets who are no longer with us. It is believed that the souls of our "lomitos" (dogs) and "michis" (cats) return to visit their homes during the early hours of October 28. Our ofrenda provides a welcoming space to celebrate and remember them with love and gratitude.

The word "ofrenda" means "offering" in Spanish. Traditionally, ofrendas are decorated with items of personal significance to honor those who have passed.

We warmly invite you to contribute to our altar by bringing a photo of your pet, along with a toy or treat if you would like to donate to the shelter in their memory. For your convenience, we have provided paper frames in the lobby to display your pet’s picture. Please remember that the lobby is a public space, so we advise against bringing any irreplaceable or highly sentimental items. The ofrenda will remain in place until November 3.

Thank you for joining us in this heartfelt tradition to honor our cherished pets. Your contributions will help make our ofrenda a meaningful and special tribute.💜

This gorgeous girl is Handball, and she's today's feature for !

Handball is a goofy, spunky girl that loves to play and snuggle. She's super smart and she loves treats - and with a face that cute, how could you possibly say no??

Handball is on the timid side and is really struggling here at the shelter. She went on a weekend staycation recently through our Barks & Rec program and it was amazing to see how much she opened up in such a short time! You can read all about it in Ashley's post here: https://bit.ly/3NEE1gh

Handball is looking for a forever home that will help her gain some confidence and won't push her past her limits. She loves to play with other dogs, and in fact it seems to help her relax when there's another pup around. Come give this pretty girl a chance by meeting her in person. You'll be glad you did💜

This isn't the world's most fun topic, but it is important and something we unfortunately see. Do you have plans for your pets if you pass? Is there someone you know will take care of them?

It's National Estate Planning Awareness Week, and we think now is as good as a time to bring up what can be an uncomfortable topic for many.

To help, NHS offers a no-cost tool to create an estate plan through our partner, FreeWill. It takes about 20-30 minutes. If you choose to include NHS in your estate, we offer the option to enroll your pets in Paws For Life Continuing Pet Care to give you peace of mind that your furry friends, like Beef here, will still be loved.
