Early on in this pandemic, shelters and rescues realized how difficult things might become in adopting out their animals. Great campaigns and great people all over the country helped to “empty” many shelters knowing that social distancing, stay-at-home orders, and quarantines were getting to be normal and challenging practices. You probably saw some cheery videos […]
We’ve worked with a number of shelters, rescues, and trainers in our six years in Omaha. One common goal of every one of them is to find displaced animals the right home. It’s more that finding a home, you see- the right one is necessary so animals don’t end up in a situation where behavioral […]
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 […]
Sometimes our Omaha-centric pet site branches out to other parts of the state and country, but we are mostly focused on helping local business and our immediate companion animal community. That said, there’s a big story just down I-80 in Lincoln at Capital Humane Society. How do we know it’s big? Other than the obvious […]
One thing we’re always doing on Pets in Omaha is encouraging adoption and advocacy for shelters and rescue groups. Stories like the one below are awful, but perfect in helping us promote our mission. Adopting an animal saves a life. Shelters will add that it “saves another life- the dog that takes your adopted animal’s […]
Last weekend, the Nebraska Humane Society participated in a national “Clear the Shelters” event in an attempt to do what its title suggested- adopt out the 300+ animals that were then under the care of the Omaha shelter. Adult cats were free. Kittens were two for $50. Adoption fees for dogs and other critters were […]
Rescue is paradoxical, like many things. Many generous people do good work for animals, but they wish they didn’t have to. In fact, we all wish there was no need for rescue. We wish the only animals in shelters were severe cases that we could rehabilitate and place in loving homes. Surely, the Nebraska Humane […]
Many folks believe shelter and rescue dogs are damaged, difficult to live with, and beyond repair. Often, those folks disqualify those animals when shopping for a new family pet. We hope we can change their minds here because, frankly, those folks are wrong. Pictured to the right is Zoey- you can read about her below. […]
Though it’s hard to come up with something new and original each Valentine’s Day, we feel obligated to try each year. Luckily for you, and the pet lover you are buying for, Midlands Humane Society is offering a “Wag-A-Gram” package that not only satisfies the gift part of this holiday, but helps displaced animals in […]
All rescues and shelters need fosters, donations, and more days in the week. We’re always glad to help in asking readers to consider helping any humane organization that needs any sort of aid. We advocate for these groups 365 days per year, we provide a giant platform for them at our annual Pick-a-Pooch event, and […]
