Happy Paws Plattsmouth Animal Rescue: Meet Your New Best Friend.

Looking for unconditional love?
The adventure of a lifetime?
A loyal companion?

Each animal in our care has a unique personality and story. Some were found alone and frightened. Others were strays, searching for shelter and kindness. Some of our sweetest residents were even born right into our foster program!

While their backgrounds may differ, they all share one thing in common—they’re ready to fill your home with joy, laughter, and countless memorable moments.

Browse our current adoptable animals below. Don’t see the perfect match today? Check back regularly. New furry friends join our family every week.

*Pictures and profiles of available animals will appear below as they become available for adoption.

Peaches

Peaches is a 6mo old bull terrier mix who was dropped off at a high kill shelter with 3 other pups by the people they trusted. Despite her rough beginning Peaches is a doll of a little girl. She's about 35lbs but has short legs so she's not real big. Peaches loves to be the center of your world. Peaches is house trained, kennel trained, is good with other dogs and children. Her favorite past time is practicing her "sit" and her favorite reward are fries. Peaches would do best in a home with another dog for confidence. Peaches has no experience with cats.

Hayley
Hayley

Hayley was abandoned at a high kill shelter for unknown reasons. Hayley is a 4yr old shepherd mix who even at 52lbs still thinks she's a lap dog. If you can appreciate a velcro dogs then Hayley's the girl for you! Hayley can be a bit shy in her potty routines until she knows you, so a fenced yard would be beneficial. She is house trained and kennel trained. Hayley gets along well with respectful dogs but is fine being your only fur friend. She has limited experience with cats but so far she's done well with them.

Annie

Annie was abandoned in a field with her 2 siblings and their mom in TX. Sadly rescuers were not able to reach them before their mom succumbed to coyotes. Annie's physical injuries have healed but mentally she's still afraid of a leash. Annie will take time to warm up to a new person and requires some patience but once she knows she's safe Annie is a dream! Annie is about 7mo old. She is a chi mix and approx. 35lbs. Her shorter legs give her a great view from an open door but windows require a step up or comfy couch to peer out of. Annie would benefit from a confident dog to show her the ropes and help her feel comfy. Annie is house trained and kennel trained.

Mo and Taxi

Meet Taxi and Mo. They are 1yr old bonded sisters and must be adopted together. Mo and Taxi were caught as strays very young thru one of our TNR projects and were just to sweet to send back outside. Taxi is a very affectionate baby who will follow you around the house. She will sometimes look around for you and meow; seeking you out for snuggles. She loves full body rubs, including her belly. Mo is more reserved, but she loves pets as much as Taxi. She likes to chill on the couch with you. Mo likes to be involved when you're in the kitchen and supervise your bathroom needs. Does great with being held and cuddled. She will lean right into it and purr. They've lived and gotten along with other cats very well, (Mo especially loves other cats), but they will still need a slow introductions. They have lived with dogs and do fine if their space is respected and they are introduced slowly. Both are fully vetted and litter box trained.

Pizza

Pizza is approx 6 1/2 months old. Don't let the torti-tude fool you, Pizza is a sweet, loving, little girl. She was part of a TNR project with her siblings and has done amazingly well in foster care. Pizza gets along well with most other cats and with respectful dogs. She can be a bit shy in the beginning but once she warms up to you she is a doll! Typical to her tortie colors she does not like being picked up but she will invite herself into your lap for some cute kitty cuddles and love. Don't pass up this gem of a girl! Who doesn't need some kitty spice in their life?

Up and coming

Our first round of bottle babies will be ready for adoption towards the end of June 2025! Updates and individual listings to come as they grow and we learn their personalities. ** not all bottle babies pictured/available.

Meatloaf - adopted

Meatloaf is a spunky 6mo old little boy. He's a true mix of a breed and just as sweet as can be. Meatloaf enjoys playing with most other dogs but is ok on his own as well. He loves to lounge around between bouts of zoomies and is happy to learn just about anything for a tasty treat. Meatloaf is house trained and kennel trained. He does well on a leash and is ready for his next adventure. Meatloaf has not been exposed to cats but has done exceedingly well with all the kiddos he's met at our adoption events. We don't need dashboard light to see that life with this Meatloaf could be paradise.

Buddy - Medical hold

Buddy is a 1yr old Lab/terrier mix though he's more lab than anything. Buddy was dumped on the side of the road when he became sick. Buddy has tick borne disease. Thankfully it was caught and he was treated. Sadly, not soon enough. Buddy will potentially have medical issues his entire life because the people who dumped him couldn't be bothered to give him flea/tick preventative. Buddy is currently on medical hold pending his next blood test results. He is house trained, kennel trained, good with dogs of all ages and sizes. Buddy loves kids but forgets he's a big boy and may accidentally knock small kiddos down. He loves people and needs a strong leader to show him the ropes and guide him in life. No cats please.
