Story
Nessa (b. 1/2020) is a Maltipoo with a very sad past... While driving on a cold afternoon in December, a good samaritan caught a glimpse of this 11 lb pup laying in a ditch. They immediately stopped and scooped up this little gal who was alive but paralyzed from a broken back. After having no luck finding her family, an MP volunteer was contacted and Nessa was quickly brought to rescue. Numerous clinics and specialists were consulted and it has been determined that Nessa is not a candidate for surgery. Nessa is a master scooter and a total diva.  Nessa needs a home that understands her needs and will allow her to live out her diva life.  There are a number of potential complications that Nessa may experience, which means her future is uncertain. Therefore, this sweetheart is looking for a foster to adopt or furever foster who can stomach the hard truths that come with a pet in Nessa's condition. Nessa will need a situation that allows for her best human friend to be home more often than not, and will need to be kenneled when left alone to make sure she stays safe. She requires a diaper and regular maintenance throughout the day to keep her clean and feeling comfy! Muddy Paws will continue to monitor Nessa's health and will provide on-going financial support for her future. Nessa loves to be carried around the house by her foster and she's got a good eye for making sure everything is in its place! Nessa is a sweet pup who loves to give kisses and is the best little couch cuddler you could ask for. For now, Nessa is nestled up comfortable, safe, warm, and living her best life! If you are curious about Nessa and her requirements, reach out to Muddy Paws for more information. Due to her medical needs, Nessa needs an adopter / foster that lives within a 50 mile radius.  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means 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 2020 alone, we were able to provide animal Healthcare costing over $241,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. 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.  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.  To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page  ##1289605##
