2. Chase

Young · Male · Doberman Pinscher (short coat) · 40 mi from Panama

My name is Chase and I am one year and eight months old. I recently came into rescue when my family could no longer care for me.

I am a handsome fella full of energy and play and lots of love! I get along great with other dogs but cats are another matter. I am not recommended for a home with cats.

I would do best in a home with other dogs to play with. My new family must also commit to taking me to training. It is important that my new family understand the energy and needs of an adolescent Doberman.

3. Mylah

Young · Female · Doberman Pinscher (short coat) · 40 mi from Panama

My name is Mylah and I am 2 years old. I am a very energetic and loving red girl looking for a forever family. I love to play with toys, especially balls. I walk pretty well on a leash and am mannered in the car. I cannot be adopted to a family with cats as I don't do well with cats.

My forever family should:

Have Doberman or like breed experience

Have a dog my own size for me to play with – no little dogs.

Agree to take me to training so I can learn even more.

If you are interested in adopting Mylah, please go to www.doberescue-ne.org, review the adoption rules and submit an application if you feel you qualify.

4. Roy

Adult · Male · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 44 mi from Panama

Meet our Good Boy Roy! Some dogs like Roy (aka Royal) come into our lives and brings so much joy while quietly touching all who have met him, yet still he is passed over time and again. We know what a great companion he is and know that someday his person/family will find him!

Read more about Roy

His people are his everything! At around 60 pounds he's certainly not huge but oh he loves to be a lap dog or right beside you. Royal craves love and attention, but who doesn’t want a best friend to love them with their whole heart while serving up slobbery kisses?! This handsome guy is potty trained, crate trained, has great manners and at 3 years old Royal has years yet to give you his undying love!

Roy thrives on a routine, unconditional love, and snuggling! He is extremely smart, loyal and is easy to keep busy with bones. He also loves children (as you can see in his photo!), toys, walks and being the one and only king of his house. Although he and can walk by other dogs and even play occasionally with submissive dogs with supervision. Royal thinks he is put on this earth for you so you may have a best friend permanently attached to you in about 30 seconds flat!

This brings us to why and how to answer when asked "How is he not adopted yet when he's such a good boy?" The short answer is he prefers to be the only dog in the house. The reason? Our good boy Roy simply has a fear of some dogs, especially alpha dogs. Which we must say that so many people want just one dog in a house, so why not him? A 6 foot fence is preferable but can discuss.

Please help our Roy/Royal find his forever home by applying or sharing his story! Please apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org!

DONATION ADOPTION FEE $300

*ALL DOGS MUST BE INSIDE COMPANION ANIMALS! They must all be trained with positive reward based training and all are up to date with vaccinations, altered, microchipped, HeartWorm tested, and on preventatives.

Jimothy (nicknamed Jimmy or Slim Jim) is the perfect combination of brains, sweetness, and just a little bit of lovable chaos. He is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves to participate in whatever you're doing, mostly following you from room to room. Jimothy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys playing with a variety of toys, but bones are his favorite. This 30 pound, 6 to 7 month old puppy is most likely a mix of husky/shepherd as a best guess but he is 100% gorgeous with his one blue eye!

Apparently, Jimothy readily agrees with his handsomeness and will occasionally bark at his own reflection alerting everyone to his good looks, lol! Jimmy is a world-class cuddle bug who falls asleep in positions that seem physically impossible. Need a winter warmer? His favorite place is right next to his humans, preferably touching them at all times. If you're looking for a dog who believes personal space is optional, Jimothy is your nuzzle guy!

Jimothy has a strong foundation in both potty and crate training and continues to make great progress.

Although, he is coming out of his shell more each day his overall demeanor is more of a chill, low key guy that is a bit on the shy side. He is easy to please and just wants to be by his people and soak in the affection and attention. Lucky would love another resident dog in the family to help him build his confidence and a fenced in yard is required.

9. Joanie June Bug

Puppy · Female · Beagle / Boston Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 44 mi from Panama

Meet our super sweet Joanie June Bug!!

This darling 7 month old, 19 lb Beagle and Boston Terrier mix is such a fun little girl and would make an amazing BFF or family dog! Joanie is playful, active, curious, and always ready to see what’s going on. She loves toys, chews, tug-of-war, walks, and pretty much anything that involves spending time with her people. Her beautiful brindle coloring, light eyes, and little dab of pink on her nose make her extra unique.

Read more about Joanie June Bug

Joanie is a loving, submissive girl who tends to let others lead while she takes everything in. She’s learning quickly and doing so well! She walks nicely on a leash, listens well for her age, is learning her commands, and is inquisitive about everything around her. She is great with dogs, cats, and kids and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. She loves getting pets and belly rubs, cuddling with her people, and settling in for some quiet time at the end of the day. She sleeps nicely in her crate at night.

Joanie was surrendered to us from a commercial breeder (who breeds “designer hybrids”) when she and her littermates didn’t sell fast enough. She was lucky to get out of that cycle and is now learning just how fun life can be.

She’s doing well with potty training and will just need a family who is willing to continue helping her along with puppy training as she gets the hang of everything.

Joanie June Bug is spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, on preventatives, and ready to find her forever family!

10. Lillie

Puppy · Female · Great Pyrenees / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed · 47 mi from Panama

Meet Lillie! Born 06/16/2026Meet Lillie, a Great Pyrenees/Blue Heeler mix, also known as Lillie Bird, Bird Dog, and—when the occasion calls for her full government name—Lillian. She’s a playful puppy with a busy social calendar, a passion for chewing, and hearing that occasionally operates on an appointment-only basis.Lillie does great with other dogs and loves playing with her foster buddy, Ron. She’s also a lovely companion to the resident cat, playing appropriately and taking feline company in stride. Another dog could be a fun addition to her future home, but she doesn’t need a canine roommate to thrive.

Read more about Lillie

Grasshoppers, however, should probably make their own arrangements.Her favorite things include outdoor adventures on a leash, Benebones, and investigating whether her foster mom’s belongings were secretly purchased for her. They were not. Management regrets the misunderstanding. She’ll need plenty of appropriate chew toys, supervision, and someone willing to help her learn what belongs in the puppy toy department.She’s already kennel trained! House training is still on her to-do list, along with keeping all four paws on the floor. Lillie enjoys an enthusiastic greeting, but she’s expected to be a large dog, so helping her learn polite manners now is important. A secure six-foot fence is recommended given her jumping ability and anticipated size, and apartment life may not be the best fit for her.Lillie also takes her self-appointed position as household announcement system seriously. Visitors may receive a barking welcome, and she needs time to warm up to unfamiliar people in her home. Her family should be ready to offer patient introductions and consistent training to help her feel more comfortable with guests. Her experience with children is unknown.One important part of Lillie’s routine is private dining. Although she enjoys other animals, she guards food in her kennel and will stiffen and snarl if dogs or cats approach while she’s eating. She needs to be fed separately, with other pets kept away from her kennel during meals, and a family committed to managing this consistently and working on her food guarding.Lillie brings the playfulness, the personality, and a whole collection of excellent nicknames. Her future family brings patience, structure, and a sense of humor while helping her grow into her very best self. If your idea of a good match includes a lively puppy, a walking buddy, and a reason to stop leaving your things within chewing distance, Lillie would like to submit her application! The suggested adoption fee for Lillie is $465. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

Younger kiddos aren’t on her guest list, so she’d preferably have a home without little ones. A girl this small is allowed to have a few big opinions!She’ll also need secure fencing with no little escape routes—wrought iron bars, small holes, and loose spots can all become Chihuahua-sized doorways!

18. Beanie Weenie

Young · Male · Chinese Crested-Hairless / Shih Tzu / Mixed (short coat) · 50 mi from Panama

If you were wondering what happens when you cross a majestic gargoyle with a very concerned Harry Potter house elf (and name him after a savory snack) look no further. Those bat ears? Radar-ready. Those tufts of hair? Pure wizard chic. That facial expression? A mix of deep, ancient wisdom and absolute confusion as to why a literal beanie weanie (or piece of cheese) hasn’t magically appeared in his mouth yet.
*13 months old
*Chinese crested/shih Tzu mix
*Male
*Weight - 11.25 pounds
*Medical- up to date, including neuter and microchip
*Personality - initially cautious, curious and once comfortable full time snuggle buddy
*Good with cats and dogs -
*Human Children - unknown but based on current exposure he would do well with respectful children
*Men - LOVES them. Yes, he is fine with women, but he loves him a man.
*Potty trained - I'm gonna say 99.99% because we're still learning each other's language.

19. Raven

Puppy · Female · Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat) · 50 mi from Panama

Raven is just a baby at only 4 months old. She is already 8lbs so we think she will be a larger size mix of a minpin maybe 15-20 lbs. She has the energy and inquisitiveness of a minpin that is for sure. Raven learned a doggie door in a day, she is a smart alert dog. She has not been much of a barker and goes into her kennel at night and when her foster is gone just fine. She has kept her kennel clean so she is learning housetraining. She would love another dog to play with. The resident dog in her foster home is 15 and not at all interested in playing with a puppy no matter how hard she tries.

Raven is food motivated and might just jump on you to eat what you have. She will need a home that will work on her training and be able to handle her energy level. We do not know how she is with cats but will probably want to play with them. She does have sharp puppy teeth she might nick you when playing.

20. Betty

Adult · Female · Yellow Labrador Retriever (short coat) · 50 mi from Panama

Betty is a wonderful 4-year-old yellow lab. She is spayed and current on her vaccinations. Like most labs her age Betty is is an active happy silly playful girl.
Her current owner has some health issues that make the active lifestyle she needs hard. Betty has lived with another lab. Betty is not looking an active dog who will be in her face. She is use to old and slow as a housemate. She has never been around cats and would probably chase or want to play with them so let’s say no to cats to be safe.
Betty loves every person she meets with her happy wiggly butt but also will want to jump on them so a home with older kids would be better since she can clearly knock over small ones.
Beautiful Betty is housetrained and baby gated trained but has not been in a kennel for years. She is not a hunting dog as she is gun and load noise shy. Betty is a purebred lab about 60 lbs and all love.

Adopting a dog in Panama

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
