It takes a special person to love a fur kid with special needs or illness. Please share with furiends might be able to foster or adopt Paisley in Lincoln.

UPDATE: We have found a foster for Paisley and her chemo treatment will start Monday! We shared another post with photos on our page, just in case you missed it.

Miss Paisley needs help in Lincoln! This sweet and mellow coonhound mix is 10 years old, and in the last 3 months, she has become homeless and received a cancer diagnosis (lymphoma).

In spite of it all, her attitude is amazing and she makes friends wherever she goes. Paisley’s veterinarian thinks we can add to the length and quality of her life with treatment. Plus, we have a small grant to help cover her medical expenses.

What we lack is that special person who can focus on her needs for whatever time she has left (maybe 12-18 months, maybe less). She’ll need belly rubs and short car rides to her appointments. If treatment works, we’ll keep going. If it doesn’t, we’ll manage her care and keep her comfortable. Either way, we’ll listen to Paisley, give her dignity and let her tell us when she’s ready.

But before more time passes, let’s find this honey a home willing to share the couch. She’s fully house trained and good with children, cats and other dogs.

We imagine the right person can’t stop looking into her eyes in this photo. Perhaps that person is you. Or maybe you know someone who needs Paisley as much as she needs him/her. There are several ways to start the process… please post a comment, send us a quick message or submit an application via our website.

Shonda is a cattle dog in need of a foster or furever family with no other furkids near Connecticut. She wobbles a little when she walks. Please share with furiends!

Please help me help Shonda!
She should have never been sent to a rescue with so many other dogs. I wasn’t told about her dog issues till after she came to me. She had 2 weeks of “training” to help her suddenly like dogs 🤦🏻‍♀️ then transported to me. We have worked with her but 1 she doesn’t want to share her space with so many dogs and 2 she is a cattle dog mix, heavy on the cattle dog and she is now starting fights (and losing) trying to control movement. She is such a sweet girl who just wants a person to hang out with. She doesn’t ask for much or need a ton of exercise. There has to be someone out there that can take this sweet girl in. I hate that I’ll have to separate her from everyone which includes me. Please share !
She is located in CT

Can you help my furiends at Perfect Imperfections with a $5+ donation?

Farley is having a fundraiser to help his friend Cletus get the vet care he needs. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday and the estimate was over $5,000. Hopefully he doesn’t have to stay through the holiday and that will reduce the bill. We are waiting to her from the vet!
We know this is a tough time of year for everyone.
Farley is asking for a $5 donation and vote for your favorite photo! Is Farley Naughty or Nice ????

Please share Tora to help her find her forever home.

Hope for Tora
By Karl Skinner
Co-founder of Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue

Fifteen years ago when I started reading about the No Kill movement for companion animals, I naively thought we should be able to save them all.

And here I sit, in 2023, still trying, but growing more weary by the day.

Just feet from me is a dog I’ve been walking regularly for the past couple of months. She’s a middle-aged female Akita named Tora.

Tora was and is one of the lucky ones. She had a home that loved her. After she injured another dog in that home, they held onto her while we tried unsuccessfully to find her a new home without kids or other animals. Eventually, Tora went to a local shelter and our rescue was given a timeline in which to pull her.

I called in a favor from a different shelter and I transferred her there, where she spent the next few months waiting for someone kind and brave enough to give her another chance at living in a home. And what a home it is! She is the only dog and her owner loves her dearly.

But, over time, she has become protective of her current owner, who has become a hostage in her own home. Training has been attempted, but the right person has to be holding the other end of the leash. And even though she’s perfect 98% of the time, that 2% has become a deal breaker. When an 85-pound dog bites or nips, it’s scary and dangerous.

Putting a dog like Tora back in a shelter or boarding is not in her best interest. She is stressed around other animals and shelters are all full right now anyway.

Tora’s current owner feels the right home might be out there, but thus far it has eluded us.

Tora needs:
A strong, alpha human;
A low-traffic home with no small children;
A space with no other animals;
A fenced-yard (privacy preferred) or someone willing to regularly exercise her on leash.

For the right adopter, her owner is offering to cover the cost for Veterinary care and dog food for the rest of her life.

If Tora is adopted within Lincoln, I am offering deeply discounted in-home pet sitting service.

Tora has lots of great qualities, but she’s running out of options and time. The fourth quarter clock is ticking, and this is my Hail Mary pass.

She’s been a blessing to my life, but I’d rather let her go peacefully, than set her up to fail. Serious inquiries only. Please share to increase her chances. Thank you for caring enough about Tora to read this.
