Bailing Out Benji (BoB) has been a long-time partner of Pets in Omaha, collaborating on educational projects that help the public make informed consumer decisions and promote animal adoption. The newest tool BoB has created will help animal advocates educate about puppy mills and give the public easy access to research available about the commercial […]
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 […]
Dustin Young, owner of Young Gunz Kennels, abandoned dozens of dogs on his property recently. After owners of some of those dogs were not given their hunting-trained pups when it was agreed upon, they investigated. What they found on Young’s property was gruesome. Dead dogs in bags, even the freezer. New mommy dogs with pups […]
Each year, the Humane Society of the United States, as part of its campaign against puppy mills, publishes its list of the worst 100 mills in America. The list is always popular and used for a variety of things. For our purposes here (promoting adoption), we’re sharing the list to illustrate the dreadful conditions that […]
On May 28, 2018, authorities responded to a fire in Wood River, NE, at Prairie Chesapeakes, a dog breeding facility. The puppy mill is operated by Mark Greisman, a name that appears on the Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) 2018 “Horrible Hundred” list, an annual report that highlights the top 100 worst puppy mills […]
Sidney/Chappell, NE, about a seven hour drive west of Omaha, is feeling a little larger this week as the state’s largest-ever trap-neuter-release mission takes place. A family in the area had reached out for help as 100-150 cats, most feral, were becoming too difficult to manage. Among the humane organizations helping to spay and neuter […]
Jefferson, Iowa, a non-descript town in the western-central part of the state, has made national and international news lately, which is surprising. The news it made was also a bit shocking- Jefferson police officers have been addressing the issue of feral cats by shooting them. Feral cats are a threat to ecosystems, so an intervention […]
Volunteers at educational groups like our pals at Bailing Out Benji are doing some great work for animals sold in pet stores. Often, the job of Bailing Out Benji and others (like us here at Pets in Omaha) is to fill the public in about where the cute puppies in the cages at pet stores […]
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 […]
Locally, Bailing Out Benji has worked with local municipalities to promote the ban of retail pet sales with success. Nebraska lawmakers have recently debated a statewide set of rules that would make selling a puppy in a store more difficult for store owners and more transparent for consumers. Things are starting to move in the […]
