About the Dogs







This is Babe, our tripod (3-legged) Rottweiler mix.
She lost her left rear leg as a result of infection
when she chewed her foot off as a puppy. But there
was nothing to do, incarcerated in a crate for 5 months!
It had to be amputated to save her, but she is a very
happy, playful and obedient dog. Oh, she's also
the smartest dog we've ever had here! She seems
to understand English and is a fantastic watch dog!
Visit her on her very own web page, here: Babe's Blog
Buck was rescued after being abandoned
and left to wander. He was picked
up by animal control after surviving
on his own for quite some time.
He was skinny and covered with fleas
and ticks. Now neutered and cleaned
up, he's here with us and seems to
enjoy the other dogs. Thanks to
Ozark Haven Rescue in Missouri for saving
his life! And to everyone who helped transport
him into Nebraska! We sure enjoy him
and his enthusiasm for life!
This is a courtesy listing:
"Sparky is a very sweet little dog. He is very
loyal, protective, does what he is told, comes
to you when called, and craves attention.
He is a lap dog and wants to stay close.
The longer his hair gets the more red color he
has; his nickname is Red. When he gets a
haircut, he turns into a blonde dog for awhile.
He is right at 3 years old. He was very shy
when we first got him, but now he will follow
me anywhere I go. He has become the alpha
dog, so he needs to be the only pet in the
house. We don't have a cat so I don't know
how that would go over. I have found that
Sparky would be the perfect pet if it was
just him. He gets along with children very well."
