After thousands gathered at Ralston Arena for our fifth annual Pets in Omaha Pick a Pooch Adoption Days, we learned a couple of things. First, we learned (again!) that our pet community is great. The attendees, vendors, shelters, and rescues in attendance verified how wonderful our shared love for companion animals is! A big thanks […]
Last week, we told readers about a national campaign from the BISSELL Foundation that aims to “Empty the Shelters” on May 5, 2018. The event has been happening for a few years with success and one Nebraska shelter, Start Over Rover in Hastings, is proud to be a participant for the second time. This year, […]
One of the most common pet events we highlight on Pets in Omaha is the meet and greet with local rescue organizations. If you’ve been to one or participated on behalf of a humane organization, you know. If not, there’s a quick and informational post with details and the best way to find these fun […]
Sometimes, animals are in rescue for too long. When we catch wind of any of these cases, we love to help spread the word about how much an animal needs its forever home. Meet Foltz. The name should sound familiar to anyone in Nebraska, especially football fans. Our rescue pup here is named for Sam […]
Katann Chow Rescue is a national group we’ve not covered before, but we’re always happy to share Adoptable Animals from any rescue! Upon seeing a photo of Thor (another rescue pup who is being fostered in the same home) someone left on the Pets in Omaha Facebook page, we heard of Precious and had to […]
If a shelter in town were in a position where it couldn’t afford to care for guests, we’d expect area rescues to step up by taking on animals, their care, fostering, and the adoption process.

About 100 dogs were in attendance Saturday and more will be there tomorrow, Sunday, July 16. And of the stories we heard about […]
The current Second Chance Pups Prison Training program rotation will be ends on June 9, 2017. Two pups that have not been adopted yet need a little help in finding new homes, so we hope you can read, share, adopt, or let someone interested in adopting know about them. Dharma Dog Training, with their […]
Sometimes, animals are just unlucky and are stuck in long term foster care for too long. Other times, like in Skye’s situation, there’s a little extra something needed in potential adopters. Skye is a four-year-old Great Dane who was born blind and deaf. She also looks a bit different than the Great Dane many picture […]
Recently, a Louisiana shelter has relinquished dogs to Omaha-area rescues and shelters a number of times- it seems the LA shelter is unable to care for the animals and the Omaha-area shelters and rescues listed here have taken on dogs a number of times in recent months. These are the groups who participated in the […]
