Ariel

Ariel is our sweet baby. We adopted her a year ago. She has been best friends with my 14 year old son and 3 year old daughter. We could not ask for a more patient, loyal, fun and loving part of the family. We don’t feel she was lucky that we adopted her. We are certainly the lucky ones to have her as part of our family!!! Thank you! Nicole Folden

I adopted this beautiful mastiff on Tuesday and wanted to send you a picture to let you know just how much he will be loved with our family. My son was almost in tears when he saw him!! Thank you so much! Rolisa Jensen |

Dexter
|
We adopted Dexter as a 2 month old. It was love at first sight. He sat on the bench next to me in the "get acquainted" room and snuggled against me. I was hooked. He has been, as we all refer to him, the greatest dog ever. He is so kind and loving. He lies next to our bed at night and as soon as my husband gets up for work in the morning Dex is up on the bed with his head on my husband’s pillow! He is a great baby sitter too. We took in a lost kitten early this spring and when she wandered too far in the yard, Dexter picks her up, ever so gently, by the back of the neck and brings her back to the house. We don't know what we ever did without him in our home. Thank you so much for him! The Wright Family, Blair, NE |

Keiko
|
We adopted Keiko from the NHS in November 2005, and she has been a joy ever since. She was actually a pup that was turned into the NHS as the previous family could no longer care for her. At 4 months old she was as curious as could be and so eager to please. With some basic training and more love than we thought we had, she's has grown into a wonderful family member that we could never live without. Today, she's a family member that loves people and other dogs and still eager to learn a new trick or two. Her favorite time of the year is winter, and she just can't get enough of running full speed through a drift of snow. Although it has not been very long since we got her, it feels like she has always been a part of our family and we can't remember what life was ever like without her. Kirk Yost |

Oliver
|
What a great dog we have found at the Nebraska Humane Society!! We call him Oliver. He was this scared, pathetic dog that didn't like being at the shelter. The best decision we made was bringing him home! After a few weeks, he settled in to his new home in Lincoln. He enjoys playing in his baby pool, running at the dog run, and being an oversized lap dog! I'm so glad we picked him!! Rebecca Knapp |

Ozzie
|
My mom and I adopted our dog, Ozzie, from the NHS in 1996. He's a mix of siberian husky/akita/chow/samoyed with one brown eye and one blue eye. He loves people (he's great with kids), playing in the snow, being outside, and going for walks. You couldn't tell by looking at him, but he's 11 years old and doesn't act his age one bit! He's always excited to see us come home, covers us with kisses and hugs and even takes care of us when we're not feeling well. All in all, he's turned out to be an amazing and very important member of our family and my best friend, I don't know what I would do without him! Jen Janca |

Sammy
|
Here's our wonderful dog, Samantha "Sammy", who we adopted in 1998 as a puppy. She was the only girl dog out of a litter of 5 cute puppies. She has really short and thick black hair, a curled tail and spots on her tongue so we believe she might be a chow, lab, and German shepherd mix. She's very sweet, loves to be around people, and absolutely LOVES snow and cold weather. Back when she was still a puppy, we brought her to NHS for the doggie manners class, and she did great! She loves to sit, shake hands/paws, lie down, speak, and "wait" for her favorite treats - raw baby carrots!! This picture was taken April 2007 at a "Aloha" party we had for some friends. Sammy gives us so much joy and is definitely an important member of our family. Thank you so much NHS for ALL the wonderful love and care you provide to all those animals who need loving homes! Stella, John, & Sean Watts and Edsel Buchanan |

Trixy
|
On May 4, 2007 we adopted Hannah, now named Trixy from the NHS. She was a quiet dog when we met her, and even for the 1st couple of days here she was a little to her self. Since then she has really become a part of the family. Our kids, and the neighbor’s kids really give her a lot of love and companionship. It's easy to see that she is happy, and knows that she is loved. What a great dog she is! The English Family |

Twin Kitties
|
We adopted 2 calico sisters at the Petsmart in Papillion last year.We had to have our 17 year old calico cat put to sleep the month before. When I saw these two sisters that they wanted to adopt together because they were so bonded, I just knew they were the ones to add to our family of two other cats, Tommy that is 8 and Sweetie that is 1-1/2. We can't imagine life without our two bundles of joy now. They were so small when we brought them home, only 2 lbs and 2 lbs 4 oz. but they are growing by leaps and bounds. Thank you so much NE Humane Society for bringing us together! Rick & Merry |
