The adoption process is an application, a vet reference, a home visit, and a lifetime contract. The requested adoption donation for this dog is $400___. We do not REQUIRE a fenced in yard (some dogs DO REQUIRE a fence. Decide what is best for each dog), we do REQUIRE a means of safe outside containment. We do NOT adopt to homes that use invisible fencing. Invisible fencing is NOT a safe means of outside containment.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

12°F to 35°F

Dec – Feb

Omaha winters are cold with snow, ice, and biting wind. Bundle up short-haired breeds in insulated coats and limit time outdoors during wind chills below zero. Rinse paws after walks to remove road salt and de-icing chemicals.

Spring

32°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring is pleasant but brief, with rapidly warming temperatures. Severe thunderstorms are possible as warm and cold fronts clash over the Great Plains. Gene Leahy Mall and the Riverfront parks are excellent for pet walks as conditions improve.

Summer

62°F to 90°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers with severe thunderstorm risk call for careful planning of outdoor activities. Walk in the morning or evening and carry water for your pet. The Missouri River trails and Heartland of America Park offer scenic but exposed routes, so seek shade.
