Story
Ginger is a snuggly, loving Maltese/Yorkie mix, approximately 2 years old (born 2023). She is potty pad trained and will potty outside. Ginger’s favorite place in the world is either on a lap or next to you on the sofa. She is playful, however, being next to her human is what she longs for. Ginger was found as a stray along with her best friend Fred. They are very bonded, as they survived on the streets together and never separated. It is preferred they be adopted together.
Ginger has been fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed. She is ready for her forever home. A home with no children and a secure, fenced-in yard is a must.
It would be best for Fred and Ginger to be in a home together, but they might be okay in a home with another dog. They seem to be accepting of other dogs. Ginger has soulful eyes and is the most pleasant little girl. She will warm your heart with every hug.
Fred and Ginger are ready to dance their way into your life! They are both such sweet dogs and deserve a home where they get lots of love!
Here are a few things about them:
House trained and leash trained.
Enjoy quality lap time and like to give kisses.
Scared and nervous around small children (might be okay with older kids, age 13+).
VELCRO dogs - they stay by each other's side, but also with their person.
Both will take off out the front door if given the opportunity. You'll need to keep an eye on them and away from the door when allowing guests in.
Must have secure fenced yard to safely explore and lounge in the sun when the weather is nice. (They are both very small and escape artists!)
The suggested adoption donation for both Fred and Ginger is $600, 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.
Adoptions for Fred & Ginger are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that they can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers.
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.
