Potato's Story

$150 adoption fee during our holiday adoption promotion! This gorgeous girl is aptly named Potato due to her spud-like physique. Potato is estimated to be around 12 years old and she came to us after her elderly owner was no longer able to take care of her. Potato came to us at a hefty 45 lbs and is now currently 35 lbs! She's looking for a family who will help her maintain her healthy lifestyle. Potato is used to having someone home most of the day, so she would greatly benefit from an adopter who is retired or works from home. She loves her people greatly and experiences some separation anxiety when she is left alone. Potato is fostered with children and other dogs and does great. She's a chunky girl who loves her food and would benefit from being separated while feeding (so she doesn't try to fight for her fur siblings' food)! Watch Potato in action here: https://youtube.com/shorts/gqFwlgUEKOY https://youtube.com/shorts/vEdWPdeYqKU House trained: Yes - expect an adjustment period, but she's doing great! Leash trained: Yes. She loves going on walks! She'll get excited if we pass other dogs and try to go towards them. But she really doesn't move to fast and she's easy to control. Kennel trained: No - she does not like her kennel, but she's not destructive. Rides well in a car: Yep, she's happy to go on car rides. Good with other dogs: Yes - she can be a bit of a bully to small dogs but does well with medium/large dogs Good with cats: Not fostered with cats, but we think she'd do fine. Good with young children (under 10): Yes, she's fostered with kids under 5 Shy or confident: Confident. She's not shy with visitors and will approach them for attention. Barks: Yes, if "her person" has left. If "her person" is with her, she's as quiet as a mouse Apartment qualified: No due to separation anxiety barking Special needs or health concerns: Potato recently had a dental cleaning and senior bloodwork. Everything looks age-appropriate! She might have some diminished hearing but it doesn't impact her day-to-day. We believe Potato is a small/medium-sized mix and is around 12 years old. She is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $200 ($150 during our holiday adoption promotion special) which helps cover the cost of vetting procedures. Adoptable pets will have received age-appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, heartworm test (if applicable) and a spay/neuter. If you're interested in adopting this puppy/dog, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days). We are 100% volunteer staffed and will respond to your email as soon as possible. After you have submitted an and been approved, we will set up a meet and greet between you and the puppy/dog. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about Brave Animal Rescue and our mission.

Brave Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy

The first step is completing the adoption application. We are an all-volunteer staff and will be reviewing your application within the next 1-5 days. After approval of your application, we will hopefully set up a time for you to meet our foster and potentially adopt. Please take a moment to review our frequently asked questions below so you can learn more about the adoption process and some of our policies. We may receive multiple applications for one pet, especially puppies and kittens. We take every application seriously and must make a decision on multiple qualifying applicants. Preference is given to applicants with verified vetting history, home ownership, and, for dogs, those with a fenced in yard. (Please make sure to call your previously used veterinarian and give them permission to release records to us.) In the event you are selected, we will coordinate a meeting with you/your family and the pet. All appointments are held at a facility we rent here in Lincoln unless very special circumstances require meeting at your home, or the foster's home. Frequently Asked Questions -- Please Read Before Emailing Us 1. Can I view the animal at a location? Unfortunately, no. Our pets are all kept in private foster homes in/near Lincoln. You must first complete the application above -- after your application is reviewed, we set up private meet and greets here in Lincoln. 2. How does the process work? A meet and greet to adopt is set up after approval of your application. To expedite your approval, be sure to provide the contact of any vets you have used (if applicable), as well as a phone number or email address of your landlord (if applicable). If this is your first pet, please be sure to provide your references' email address. We will review your application in the next 3-5 days. You will be informed of our decision either way. Once you are approved and we have mutually selected an animal we think would be a match, we will set up an adoption appointment. That can happen as early as this upcoming weekend. We require meeting all members of the family at the appointment, including your family dog(s). (Please note that doesn't apply to kitten meet and greets). At that appointment, you will be able to meet the foster pet and parent and learn all about the animal. If we are in agreement the animal is a match for you, you would be able to adopt and take home with you that day. 3. Is it first come, first to adopt? No. We make matches based on best fit. This is why we depend on detailed answers in your application. In the event multiple families are approved for the same pet, we give preference to those adopters with great vetting references. In addition, if you are applying for a dog, preference is given to homes with fenced yards and home ownership. 4. What type of vetting do you require for current pets? We require at a minimum all dogs be current on rabies, distemper, lepto, and parvo vaccines. We also require heartworm preventative. Cats must have their rabies vaccines at a minimum. All pets in the home must be altered (even if you are applying for the same sex). 5. Is the adoption donation negotiable? Unfortunately, no. Our fees include the price of age appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter, and a microchip. You'll find our adoption fees are quite affordable when pricing these necessary procedures.
