Georgina

Brian and Taryn Welch
Adoption Date: Oct, 2009

We found Georgina on the internet and Brian's mom and sister went to visiot her at the Humane Society. Brian's mom called him and told him she is a verry loveable dog and loves to cuddel. We drove to Grand Island to meet her the next day and found that she warmed up to us verry well. We took her to Brian's parents house where we stayed that night she seemed a little nervous when we where there but when we took her to our house she warmed up realy fast. She seems to be nervous around males but wants she gets to know you she is as playfull as ever. Her favorit place to be is with her head on your sholder. We got her a few toys but she seems to love all of them. We got her so that she could help Taryn with some problems and she is doing a great job at that. We are so happy that we where able to get her and she seems like she is realy happy that we got her to. Georgina has became a spoiald doggie and has met some playmates from Brian's Coworkers. We would like to see more people rescue animails from the Humane Society becaue it is verry rewarding and has many binifits. Most of the animails just need a loving home. We would love to Get another animail from he Central Nebraska Humane Society when we are ready for another one. I would like to thank the staff at the Central Nebraska Humane Socity for all they do for these animals. All they need is a little love and a new loving home. Georgina has turned out to be a sweet dog that is full of energy and love. I hope if anyone is looking for a new pet that they consider adopting one from the Central Nebraska Humane Society or there local pet shelter. They deserve a second chance you just got to give it to them.

Chex

Steve & Gail Johnson
Adoption Date: Dec. 13th, 2003

We adopted Chex from your organization 6 years ago to be a companian for our other beagle. Chex is Beagle/Basset Hound and him and his buddy our quite close and have been for the last six years. We have also gotten a 3rd beagle/basset hound and all 3 are fine. Chex has gotten to be a very nice and important part of this family. We were informed upon adoption that he had an escape problem, but since moving in with us, the problem has been cured. We have gotten very fond of Chex and think a lot of him. In other words, I am pround to say that he has done and continues to do a fine job fitting in with this family.

Zoe

Seth and Angela Blank
Adoption Date: December 2005

My wife found Zoe --- a terrier mix --- at the humane society after we had decided to get a dog. All I can say is she's turned out to be pretty amazing and has brought a lot of joy to our lives. Even my parents love babysitting her when we're gone. She's extremely smart (knows how to fetch her collar, sit, stay, roll over, play dead, high-five, etc.) and hardly ever barks, which can be a blessing living in town. For anyone looking for a dog, I'd recommend checking out the humane society first.

Sadie

Connie Troutner
Adoption Date: 1/23/10

Our Sussex Spaniel Sammy had to be put down on 1/21/10 due to illness at age 14. He was a rescue pet as well. My daughter drove to North Platte from Denver to be with us and say goodbye. She found Sadie online the next day and thought she would be a good friend for our other minature cocker spaniel, Star (12) who we rescued also in 2005. So we drove to Grand Island from North Platte so Star could meet Sadie and they instantly loved each other and seemed to get along great! She seemed to be so happy to be with us all it was just meant to be that day. So we adopted Sadie and she has brought us all so much joy and she has helped lift the sadness from our loss of Sammy. She is the sweetest dog ever and immediately took to everyone in our family and to her new routine. She sleeps right up on our bed alongside Star and sleeps all night! She is a wonderful dog and we are so happy to have her! She has been checked by our vet and has been groomed and is just beautiful! Our daughter got her some toys and she loves to play fetch with them. She loves to sit in my lap and be loved. Thanks so much for taking her in and allowing us to find her via your website! You do such a great service to all the dogs who just need a little love and a new home. At first I thought it was too soon to be getting another dog after Sammy died, but it was the right thing to do as she has brought joy to our lives again. It was definitely worth the drive and both dogs slept almost all the way home! Unbelievable!

Roco

Jeanine Eiberger
Adoption Date: Febr., 2009

I adopted Roco a year ago. He is a border terrier. I originally came to the Humane Society looking for my dog, Jake, a black lab mix, who was taken from my yard Christmas night, 2008. Sadly, I was unable to find Jake after putting ads in the papers and posting fliers. I knew I could not replace Jake, but I knew that I wanted another dog. I deliberately looked for a different breed, for that reason. My daughter and I found Roco in a kennel with his brother. We had originally come to look at another dog, but it appeared that Roco's brother was being adopted and he would be left alone, so upon spending some time with him, we fell in love with him and adopted him. He is sweet and affectionate and at times very mischievious, but always very lovable. I would love to adopt another dog from the Humane Society, this time a black lab or black lab mix. Adopting from the Humane Society has definitely been a great experience.

Pebbles

Cheryl Henrichs
Adoption Date: May 2002

We had recently lost our Siamese Mix to cancer. I had always wanted a gray tabby striped cat. We came to the Humane Society that day to just look. Pebbles was in her cage and very personable. The tag said that she had been left in one of the outside pens with a litter of kittens on a cold night in January. Her kittens had since been adopted out. We fell in love and brought her home with us. To this day she hates to be cold. At night she snuggles under the covers of the bed and poes her head out on the pillow sleeping just like a little human. She ia a busy body always a wanting to 'help' especially folding clothes. I'm glad that someone dropped her off for a chance and we found her. She is approx 10yrs old now according to our vet. She is a joy to wake up to every morning.

Justice

Stephanie Sayaloune
Adoption Date: November 2009

Hi - My name is Justice. I had a bad start in life, but the nice Animal Control Officers from the Central Nebraska Humane Society rescued me. Now I have a great home and live in the lap of luxury - I play with my new mom, we go on walks, and we SNUGGLE! Thank you CNHS for the work you do on cases such as mine!

Daisy

Emma and Brenda Meyer
Adoption Date: March 10, 2010

Hi! This was Mellow, but now we call her Daisy. For Easter we decided to make Daisy a little bit more festive =] We dyed her with purple and turquoise food coloring!

Preston

Doug and Jacque Hettle Family
Adoption Date: April 2009

We came to the center in hopes of finding a new family member. Our every wish was answered when we were able to bring Preston home that day. He has been with us for a little over a year now and we love him so much!! Thank You!

Hamlet

Sheena McPeek
Adoption Date: April 2007

Hamlet was 2mo old when I adopted him. He was very playful as a kitten and loved to show his love by curling up w/ u. Hamlet is now 3. He has become quite a smart cat. He knows how to open doors when they are shut, will meow at balcony doors at my apt to be let outside onto the deck, he loves to walk on a leash outside and roll around on the sidewalks and eat the grass. He is great w/ my dog Fonzy. He will play w/ Fonzy's tail and they can be caught chasing eachother down the hall in my apt. My favorite thing about him is how at nite time or when I am sleeping alone he insits on sleeping under the blankets w/ his head on the pillow right next to me. He is an awesome rescue and I thank the Humane Society every day for him.

Fonzy

Sheena McPeek
Adoption Date: July 2009

Fonzy is well known w/ the Humane Society. Fonzy went through 3 other adoptions before I was ever able to adopt him. I had voluntered many times w/ Fonzy during his 3 adoptions. It killed me to watch him finally get a home and then what seemed like a wk or two later be right back in the Kennel. His first adoption he managed to escape from the yard of his new home due to being left outside and ignored. He became bored. The second time he went onto a farm. He is Australian Shepherd/ Bernese Mtn Dog. He had the herding in him. Well he didnt enjoy goats and killed several baby goats. So he was returned. The third adoption killed me the most. I had seen him go through the previous 2 adoptions and was very intrested in adopting just did not have a suitable place or the money at the time. Well he was adopted for a third time and I had thought my chances were over. Sadly he was abonded and humane society took him in for a third time. I finally moved in July and was approved to get a dog. I knew the work I would have w/ Fonzy but was up for the task. The first week of having Fonzy I too almost had to return him. He chewed through a window blind, my $200 blackberry, and several other things. Although I called and spoke w/ Steve one of the best Animal Control Officers. He told me that if I returned Fonzy he would make sure I did not adopt any other animal from the shelter and that all Fonzy needed was a job. That got me to thinking and I knew what I had to do. I had just been diagnosed w/ Patial Blackout Seziures. I could not drive, I could not work. I spoke w/ my doctor and he authorized me getting/having a service dog that could pick up on my seziures. I was able to get my insurance to pay for Fonzy to be put through 6 very long hard months of Service Dog Training. Fonzy now is a fully certified Service/ Therapy dog and can be seen out on the town w/ me wherever I go. He has not chewed anything since, he goes for a run every day, and is now part of my family. I also have 2 sons one of which also has seziures and Fonzy keeps an eye on both of us. He is by far the best dog I have ever had. I thank the Humane Society every day as well as Steve for his harsh but soo true words. Fonzy now has a job, a permanent home, and a family that loves him all thanks to the dedicated hard work of the humane society. Thanks again!!

Harlee

Joe, Karmen, Kylie Rosno
Adoption Date: April 26, 2010

Harlee, formerly Phil Michelson, is doing well. I have a Daycare so he's got lots of company, and Kylie is getting ready for 4-H dog training in a few weeks. He loves to spend time with us when we are outside, other wise, he spends time in the yard chewing up tumbleweeds!!! He's very calm for a 6 month old puppy. He is learning his name and will be going to the vet next week for his operation. (We don't say it out loud, we don't want him to worry!!!) lol Thank you so much for letting us adopt him! I'll keep you all updated!

Sidney

Larry Beth Matt Smith
Adoption Date: Summer 2009

Ok not sure what we got here in this dog but we love him. You said he was part lab and cattle dog but we now find him pointing at birds in the back yard. He runs like a greyhound and sounds like a hound, herds our german shepherd and acts like a watch dog. At times he's nothing but a clown, knows right from wrong when he wants to and is constantly talking with all kinds of sounds. Sid likes to play ball, chase birds, go for walks and rides in the truck but best of all he likes being with his best friend Tyco our german shepherd. Those two are never far apart. Sid is a very good dog and way to smart, he loves to learn new things and is quick to pick up on them. He is very healthy and happy, 70 lbs now and not an ounce of fat. Thank you for finding Sid and giving him the chance to meet up with us so we could give him a home and be a part of our family, he is a great dog!

Sandy

Christenson
Adoption Date: Jan, 2009

We were lucky enough to get Sandy from the Grand Island Humane Society and she has been a blessing ever since! She's one of the best dogs we've ever had and she's full of personality! When we got Sandy she was an adult dog who had been living in the kennels for quite a while and had no where to go. We saw her and instantly knew she was the one for us! Our story about Sandy or Marsha as the Humane Society know her as, is a perfect example that even adult dogs need loving homes and that they can be just as great as a younger dog! We would really like to thank the Humane Society for allowing us to have Sandy as our pet! She's a wonderful, playful and loving dog!
