Story
Meet Little Red — A Gentle, Loyal Companion Looking for a Calm, Quiet Home
Little Red is a housebroken, cratetrained sweetheart who wants nothing more than a peaceful home, a soft couch, and a woman she can bond with deeply. She has always been a naturally shy, nervous, and sensitive dog, but once she trusts you, she becomes an incredibly loving, loyal lap dog who adores snuggles, treats, and quiet companionship.
Her Personality
Calm, quiet, and gentle
Shy with new people, especially men
Prefers women and bonds strongly with them
Nervous in new situations (shakes, needs reassurance)
Loves to cuddle and thinks she’s a lap dog
Very affectionate once she knows you
Protective in a sweet, loyal way
Training & Skills
Housebroken / Litter trained
Crate trained
Leash trained
Knows several commands
Listens extremely well
Fetches and loves short walks
Very welltrained overall
She also loves sunbathing in the backyard, playing in water, car rides, napping on the couch, and being close to her person. She’s a simple girl with simple joys.
What She Needs
Little Red has always been a nervous dog, and while she has lived with a family, she is not suited for a home with children.
Little Red he needs a home that understands her sensitivity and can give her the calm, predictable environment she thrives in.
Her Ideal Home
Little Red will do best with:
A single older woman or calm adult female adopter
No children
No other pets
A quiet, lowstress home
Someone who loves snuggling and being home often
A patient person who will let her warm up at her own pace
She can warm up to men with time, patience, and treats (she eventually adored her current owner’s husband), but she is most comfortable in a womanled home.
Why She’s Worth It
Once Little Red trusts you, she is the kind of dog who melts into your lap, follows you from room to room, and loves you with her whole heart. She is gentle, loyal, and incredibly sweet — she just needs the right environment to feel safe.
She will be a devoted best friend to the right person who wants a calm companion to share the couch, the sunshine, and quiet evenings together.
The suggested adoption donation for Little Red is $ 350, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training). Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees.Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, 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.Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) 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.
To learn about Muddy Paws Last Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.Please Note: A Courtesy Post designates that an animal is still in the home of its owner and not in a Muddy Paws foster. This means that our exposure to the animal is limited since we only assist the owner in finding a new home for theirpet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Last Chance Rescue, and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption.
