Story
Moon is a very loving and protective dog. She doesn't attach easily but when she does, you know she's your human. She is my 14 year olds dog but unfortunately living situations have changed and she does not do well in an apartment. This is mainly because I work overnights so she is left alone at night which she isn't used to. She has been with either people or other dogs and this has caused her separation anxiety. I'm looking for a home for her that can provide the time and energy that she deserves. She is 4 years old austrailian shepherd/ border collie mix.

Story
Kevin is a Lab/Border Collie mix, born in 2021.  The perfect home for Kevin would be with someone who can give him daily exercise and stiumlation.  He needs a fenced yard with room to explore and lounge.  Kevin is a very smart dog and enjoys being challenged with different activities.  He is okay with kids, he would be better off in a home with no young kids (age 6+ would be okay).  Other dogs might be okay, but the first introduction would need to be slow. Kevin is very well house trained.  He participated in a two-week obedience stay and learned a lot!  He knows how to sit, lay down, place and stay (depending on the situation).  Kevin tends to bark sometimes - specifically more protective if someone comes to the door or is outside the house.  He will also bark if he sees something in the back yard and wants to go out.  Kevin has been a little reactive to men, but should warm up if he gets to know someone. Kevin LOVES to be active - he would run and play all day long if given the opportunity.  He would love the chance to become part of your family.  He's such a friendly and sweet guy!   The suggested adoption donation for Kevin is $375, 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. 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 are only assisting the owner in finding a new home for their pet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Second 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. 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.

Story
Winston - Deaf Dogs Hear with Their Hearts Hello world I'm Winston....please don't mind me as I practice my sign language! You see, I'm hearing impaired, but I am super smart so I use hand signs to communicate! I have been waiting a while for my perfect home, but I will be a great companion once I find the right match. I will need SEVERAL MEETS before adoption, as I am people selective and it takes me a bit to get to know and trust someone. I'm a two year old who is a happy, handsome fella with gorgeous baby blues and would love to be someone's one and only. Once I trust them, I'd love for them to take me on walks/runs, play fetch, toss me toys, snuggle with me and teach me new commands! I do have a few requirements, though: I NEED A FENCED IN YARD, AN EXPERIENCED OWNER AND MUST BE AN ONLY DOG. So, if you have enough time, patience, dogs skills and can go slow with me, I will learn to trust you and be your loyal forever boy. No apartments please! Also, small children make me really nervous as I can't hear them so teenagers and adults only. I also prefer a house that won't be active with too many strangers coming and going but am crate trained, if needed. I currently living with a trainer and she loves me so much that she will provide continued training help for my whole life! I haven't had many good experiences in my life yet, so I'd love to be your loyal best new friend, if you have time to devote to me! Want to meet me and see how amazing we can be together? Please apply at www.nalarescue.org to adopt or for more information. All shots, boosters, rabies, spay/neuter, and microchip is included in NALA Rescue's Adoption donation fee. All meets are scheduled by appointment only once an application is approved. Please apply at www.nalarescue.org and if approved we will reach out to the applicant and answer all questions. All dogs/puppies are available until they are removed from this site so please no inquires if a dog is available.

These pups are in Council Bluffs, Iowa too!

Story
Meti may be a little timid when meeting new people, but give him some time to feel comfortable and you’ll see his sweet, happy personality shine through! Meti definitely shows his herding-breed side when he gets excited, so he’ll need an adopter who understands that this is part of who he is and is willing to work with him through it. He has done well with other dogs, but does show herding tendencies. With patience, understanding, and the right match, Meti has so much potential to be an amazing companion. If you’re willing to let Meti take things at his own pace, he just might be the special boy you’ve been looking for!

Story
Winstorn is an Australian Cattle dog, born October 2020. Winston is currently in a foster home, but he would LOVE to find his furever family! His foster family says he loves to cuddle and get belly rubs like all good boys do. He is house-trained and non-destructive when left home alone. Winston's PERSONALITY Very attentive and affectionate with his people LOVES to snuggle and loves attention Sometimes a little anxious, but eager to please [possibly from excess energy]  Playful  Food motivated True to his breed, he would do well if he has a job Protective of his family  In the past, he did well when he stayed with a friend who has a large property and three other dogs.  They just played and ran each other ragged.  He is more scared of other dogs now. Winston is dog reactive when walking on a leash.  He would definitely benefit being with someone who has experience with this. THE PERFECT HOME A farm or acreage where he has lots of space, less noise and a job. A quiet place to walk with his person or people. He is anxious to find a family that will give him all the attention, snuggles and love he deserves! Needs to be the only dog in the home.  He is good with kids and has lived with cats.   Winston deserves to be part of a family where he is loved and cherished,  If you think you have what it takes to be a good match for Winston, please consider adopting and ask about meeting him today!   The suggested adoption donation for Winston is $375, 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.
