In the shelter’s words

Spud is a Staffy mix born August 8, 2024, currently accepting applications for a full-time best friend, toy thrower, snack distributor, and professional couch cuddle partner. This handsome guy is basically the best part of puppyhood without all the hard stuff attached. Potty training? Done. Sleeping through the night? Nailed it. Chaos level? Mostly redirected into toys, fetch sessions, and collecting random chew bones like tiny treasures. Spud is a smart boy with previous board-and-train experience and comes with a training booklet to help continue building on all the great things he already knows. He’s incredibly treat motivated, eager to please, and truly enjoys learning — especially when snacks and praise are involved. Building trust with him is one of those rewarding experiences where you get to watch his confidence grow a little more every day. He loves car rides, is crate trained, and can happily match whatever kind of day you’re having. Want an adventure buddy? Spud is in. Want a couch potato marathon with snacks and blankets? Also in. His philosophy seems to be: why choose one when you can do both? Spud loves his people and forms really sweet bonds once he knows he’s safe. He can be a little timid around loud noises or unfamiliar situations, but with patience, encouragement, and continued exposure, he continues to blossom. At this time, we think Spud may do best as the only dog in the home while he continues building confidence and settling into his forever routine. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with a goofy personality, a smart brain, and a heart that just wants someone to call his own, Spud may be your guy. The suggested adoption fee for Spud is $365. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ is a non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR are adopted with DHPP, Rabies, Lepto, and Bordetella. Dogs will also be adopted already spayed/neutered if old enough, or a voucher will be provided once they become of age. All adoptions take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be completed by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. BNBR does not adopt on a first-come, first-served basis. We carefully match each dog to the home that best fits their individual needs.
