We are in a bit of a predicament.
Matty and Harley Quinn are finally ready to leave Texas and now both Foster homes had to back out. Sometimes things just happen.

Matty is around 1 year and weighs under 30 lbs. He looks to be part Springer Spaniel.

Harley Quinn is a young female. Possibly Boston Terrier.

Both are very sweet, good with dogs and humans.

Are you interested in fostering Matty or Harley Quinn?

This little guy is a Chihuahua mix. He is estimated to be 1-2 years old.
He needs foster commitment so he can leave Texas in the rear view mirror.
Little Dude was trapped twice when the rescue tried to trap a dog they knew was dumped.
He was determined to be rescued. Let's not disappoint him.

Please let us know if you are interested in fostering him.

Are you looking for a sweet furry sidekick?
We have what you are looking for.

Sweet Maggie came to us after being dumped in town. She had painted toenails and a cute harness. We were so sure someone was missing this young girl.
But nobody came for her. I guess they loved her until they didn't anymore.

Maggie was in an amazing foster home but her energetic happy self was too much for a wobbly toddler. Not that she doesn't love children. But she might be better suited for children out of the toddler stage.

She ended up being boarded since we could not find a suitable foster home at the time.
A boarding facility is great for short term stays but not a solution for longer stays. Maggie was desperate for a break.
So now she is in a home again but needs to find a forever family or a foster home willing to take her over the holidays due to the family's other commitments.

Maggie is around 1 year old now. We believe she is part boxer. Thankfully, without the drool 😆.
Maggie is fully vetted and of medium size.
She has turned into a velcro dog. Just wants to be close to her humans.
She does get along with dogs of all sizes and is curious abou cats and chicken.

Maggie mastered some basic training and is housebroken.

What do you think? Want to give her a chance?

Meet Eddie! He is a beautiful boy, who loves to play outside, and also snuggle up inside with his favorite people for a nap. He is well behaved and does not tear anything apart in the house. He loves to play with his own favorite toys, like tug o'war, fetch, ball, or chewing on toys that are good to chew on. He loves to go on walks and see everything that there is to see (and smell!). He enjoys car rides. He is so good with kids, even those who might have some special needs. He would be happiest with a fenced in yard or area to play in. He is friendly towards other animals and people. He would love to find his perfect forever home, as he has unfortunately been moved around in the past. He would love to meet you and be your new best friend! 🐺 Please contact his current caregiver at (402) 217-6880 Eddie is in need of a new home due to complex medical issues for the humans he is currently with and the human's allergies.

Chloe's owner passed away and she finds herself in need of a new home. Chloe is a pitbull/boxer mix, 10 years old. Not cats (which is why family is unable to take her). She has gotten along with other dogs, just not one of the 5 that she was living with in a temporary home. (A family friend took her but had 5 dogs, we think she was overwhelmed from going to a single dog home to a multi dog home) right after my dad passed. She is a lover, likes exercise, playing, and sleeping in. When she lays down, she lays with her back legs out, it’s cute. Chloe is frightened by thunder and fireworks so takes Trazadone to help soothe her fear (she may still crawl under the bed where she feels safe). Chloe is potty trained, can sit, lay down. She is also up to date on all vaccinations. Please contact her current careteaker at 402)314-0601

Sweet Maggie desperately needed a break from being boarded. We could tell that she wasn't her happy healthy self anymore.
So she moved into a temporary foster home to give her a break. But what she really needs is a family of her own.
Maggie does well with cats and dogs of all sizes but loves humans the most. She will do best in a house with older children due to her normal happy self and energy.
She has some basic training and listens well.

A week late but never a smile short!! Weather delayed last week's transport but theyre finally here!! Welcome to Nebraska!!

Meet Echo.

Echo is 11 months old now. He does great with dogs, cats and humans. He is a medium energy young boy and fully vetted. Echo is most likely a shepherd mix.
And he has spent most of his life waiting for a family to adopt him.

He was found dumped with his littermates when he was very young. Taken in by a rescue in hopes to find them all families of their own.
Sadly that didn't happen for Echo and two of his littermates.
So they spend their life waiting. Watching other pups come and go.
They are well taken care of but it's not ideal. And definitely not what a young pup needs.

Are you interested in changing his life for the better? Looking to adopt a sweet young pup? Or maybe you don't want to commit right away and foster him first?

You can contact The Helping Hands Animal Rescue for more pictures and information.
We can arrange transport to Nebraska and many other locations throughout the US
