My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bambi is a young girl (b. June 2021) who had a rough start to life. This little gal came to rescue as a feral kitty but has slowly gotten used to life inside! According to her foster, Bambi's biggest challenge has been learning to trust people. She says that Bambi is finally comfortable accepting affection from humans, and she is interacting with the resident cats more and more... She's an independent girl, and will likely maintain that streak for life, but she has watched her foster love on and play with the other resident pets and observing these positive interactions has helped her feel safe and grow more confident. She likes to sit close to her foster but isn't a fan of being picked up just yet, and she loves her food and treats! Bambi's foster says she is a gentle girl and litterbox trained. Bambi needs a future home that doesn't mind taking things slow... really slow! Bambi also needs to go to a home with another resident kitty because that's been key to getting this girl comfy. In her foster home, Bambi has inched toward trust by watching the other cats and their relationship with the humans in the home; it's easy to see that everyone's in good hands! Bambi's foster has recently taken in a small kitten, and Bambi is very close and affectionate with this baby. She'll let the little kitty snuggle up real close while she licks her face clean! We'll keep updating as Bambi continues her rescue journey.



The suggested adoption donation for Bambi is $65. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. All donations go toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, providing supportive services to animals in homes, and funding for special programs like Muddy Paws Parvo Puppy Project.



Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. 



If this pet is not spayed or neutered at the time of adoption due to limited vetting availability, a voucher will be given to the adopter for a free spay/neuter procedure at Val Verde Animal Hospital. Spay/neuters completed elsewhere will be reimbursed $80/dog or $55/cat once proof of alteration has been received by Muddy Paws. Alterations are required for all Muddy Paws adoptions. The adoption contract states alters must be done within ONE month of the adoption date or the adopter will be in breach of the contract. Adopters are required to provide proof of alteration to Muddy Paws Rescue immediately following the procedure. Thank you in advance for your compliance.



Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

More about this rescue

Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue, Inc. is a not for profit organization formed in 2014 by a small group of devoted animal lovers, in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area, with many years of rescue experience wanting to make a difference in the lives of dogs. Our rescue focuses on small breed dogs, less than 35 pounds, of any age. It is all volunteer based, and all of our rescue dogs are living in the homes of our volunteers.
Our rescue is unique in that we offer supportive services, such as education and training, to owners considering relinquishing their pet in an effort to try to keep the dog in their home whenever possible. We also educate and offer placement assistance to owners attempting to rehome their pets through social media sites, which can often be risky for the pets as well as the owners.
