Super rare Zilla shark spotted at the Nebraska Humane Society!!

Zilla is a sweet senior goofball who loves to play outside - especially if he gets to do his landshark impression 🦈🐶

How 'bout a little bit of sunshine?? ☀️🐶

Two of our available dogs, Tonya and Rocky, got to indulge in some of the nice weather last week (and we're trying really hard to live vicariously through them right now).

Volunteers took these two for a nice stroll around Standing Bear Lake, where they got to bask in the warmth and enjoy the beautiful day. Tonya was a little pushy for Rocky's liking, so they mostly kept their distance on their walk - that was perfectly okay with them, since there was plenty to sniff and explore on their own!

For a petite girl, Tonya is strong and likes to walk at a nice pace. She kept an eye out for squirrels and, given the chance, would love to chase them.
Rocky on the other hand, a big headed boy, enjoyed the leisurely walk, taking in all the sights and smells and occasionally rolling in something he found to be wonderful.

Both Tonya and Rocky were perfect passengers in the car, and insisted on riding shotgun with their respective companions. They are now patiently waiting for their forever homes where they can go on more adventures just like this one!

The Nebraska Humane Society field team closed out 2025 with a rescue!

On New Year's Eve, our dispatch team got a call about an injured owl in West Omaha. When Officer Cunningham arrived, she discovered this sweet Barred Owl who was caught up in barbed wire that had injured its wing.

The owl is now recovering at a specialized raptor rehab, where it'll get the care it needs before being safely returned to nature.

A big shoutout to Officer Cunningham and the rest of the field team for swooping in to save this cutie!

Say hello to Gonzo and Kermit! They would like us to remind everyone that the shelter will be closing at 3pm today and will reopen on Friday January 2nd at noon.

If you come to NHS before 2pm today, you can still adopt a pet (maybe even these two!)

We hope everyone has a safe and happy new year! 🥳💜✨

We went into 2025, the 150th year of the Nebraska Humane Society's existence, with big dreams of what we might be able to achieve. Thanks to you, we accomplished more than we ever thought possible.

From supply drives to Nebraska Humane Society Day to publishing 150 stories for 150 days leading up to our inaugural Day of Giving and more, it's been an incredible year.

To all of you - whether you adopted a pet, made a donation, attended an event, volunteered your time, or supported us from afar - thank you.

We're not sure what our 151st year will have to offer, but as long as we have you by our side, we know it’s going to be amazing.

Nico heard there will be fireworks soon and would like to file a complaint on behalf of all the shelter dogs.

If your New Year’s plans include staying home, wearing pajamas, putting yourself to bed early, and pretending midnight is waaaaay past your bedtime, you might get along great with one of the dogs from NHS!

From Dec. 30 - Jan. 2 (or longer), you can bring a shelter dog home with you so they can avoid the loud booms, hide politely on your couch, and provide emotional support while you snack and watch TV! They come with snuggles, companionship, and zero interest in parties. Perfect for home-bodies, early sleepers, families staying in, and anyone who also thinks fireworks are suspicious.
