Story

Hey all, this is Archer. He is a 3 year old purebread Border Collie, great with our kids and other dog. We also have a Cat, and while Archer has never been aggressive of any kind, he has a strong herding instinct and will follow the cat around the house. We're looking to find him a new home for a few reasons, primarily we want our cat to be able to relax in the house more and not be followed so much, but we also want Archer to have a more active lifestyle. Ideally we could find him a home that has some wide outdoor space so he could run and play, and if he was given a job to do he would love it. We want to find Archer a great home with a more active lifestyle for him, so if you have any questions please let us know.

Story

Lucy is three years old and a very sweet dog at her core. She is extremely intelligent, so much so we can play hide and seek in our whole house and she’s capable of finding us. With that intelligence comes a lot of anxiety and her breed is a mix of Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd and a little bit of Boxer.Because of her herding instincts, she is a little unpredictable around small children and infants. We have a 2 year old and another on the way, and it’s concerning enough to rehome. She’s never bitten or lunged at a child, but she puppy guards food and hates being approached when laying down.Despite this she loves to snuggle and climb into bed with us. We believe, with the right home, enough exercise and lots of love, she will continue to be an excellent addition to a family!

Story

Gail is a smart and eager to please beagle mix who is blossoming into a truly wonderful dog. Gail was severely under socialized during her first months of life and had no understanding of how to exist with people. While in rescue she has learned all about how to be a part of a home, and now her foster mom is helping her to learn how to exist stress free outside of the house so that she can enjoy going on adventures with her future forever family. She is potty trained (with the rare exception of excited peeing), kennel trained and walks well on a leash when hiking on local trails. Her ideal forever family will be an adult only home that has at least one other dog that likes to play. She is open to kids in her family’s future but would like to get to know her parents first. She is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard. Gail is not great at first introductions so we would like to find an adopter who is open to meeting her a couple of times before diving into forever with Gail. We promise she is worth the time investment. Gail is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Gail is a year old and 35lbs. To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $200 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs. All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.March 8, 2026, 6:28 pm

Meet Pepper: Your New Furry Best Friend! Pepper is a beautiful, active girl (born 2020) who loves to fetch and explore. She’s housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and knows several basic commands. Under the right conditions, she’s playful, loyal, and ready to shower her person with affection. Personality & Traits Shy around new people, but warms up quickly Protective of her space and her human family Fetches enthusiastically and loves chew bones Barky at first greeting and can be vocal with excitement Nervous during thunderstorms or fireworks—finds comfort in a thunder coat and cozy hiding spot Training & Needs Housebroken and litter trained Crate trained for safe, calm downtime Needs a securely fenced yard to burn off energy safely Responds well to consistent training, positive reinforcement, and gentle leadership The Perfect Home for Pepper A household where she is the only dog A fenced yard for daily play and exercise Plenty of toys and chew bones to keep her mind and body busy A patient owner—ideally female—who can continue her training and provide a calm routine Someone prepared to help her manage noise sensitivities with a thunder coat, blankets, and safe spaces Ready to Welcome Pepper? If you’re seeking a devoted, smart companion who will love you fiercely, Pepper could be the one. Please reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet and learn more about her story. We’ll share everything we’ve learned and support you through the transition. Adoptions for Pepper are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that she can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers. The suggested adoption donation for Pepper 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 only assist 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 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. 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

Thor is a very sweet dog, but he is high-energy and still needs consistent behavioral training. He is crate trained, but he does chew and can be very hyper. He would do best with an experienced owner or an active home that has the time and patience to work with him and give him plenty of exercise.

Story

It breaks our hearts to say this, but we’re searching for a new home for our sweet boy, Panda. Panda is an incredibly loving, energetic dog with a huge heart. He’s smart, eager to please, and quickly learns new things—he already knows commands like “lay down” and “shake.” He truly thrives on connection and attention from his people. He absolutely lights up during playtime, especially with his favorite skunk toy or any ball. Watching him run and play brings so much joy—he has a special way of brightening a home. This has been a very difficult decision, made out of love and a desire to do what’s best for him. We are also expecting, and won't have the proper time to train a young pup and raise a baby. Panda would do best as the only male dog in a home where he can receive all the time, attention, and affection he deserves. We’re hoping to find a person or family who will love him as much as we do. Please reach out if you think you could be the right home for Panda ❤️

Story

Yondu is a fantastic loving energetic dog. He is great with other dogs and cats. He loves to run and play fetch. He was born in August of 2024. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. We just have a very busy schedule these days and do not feel it's fair for him to be couped up in a kennel for long hours of the day.

Story

Meet Rico, he is 8 years old and 35lbs. His owner has cancer and can longer care for him so he is looking for a new place to love him through the next chapter of his life. Rico is a handsome Aussie/Terrier mix of sorts! If he was a food order he would be ordered as one medium floof nugget, with a side of smiles- tail waggin sized, with all the dippin sauces of happiness. This guy has grins that just won‘t quit, loves him some car rides, enjoys being bribed with treats for tricks, isn’t much of a kisser, and relishes all the attention he deserves to receive. Rico loves kids and loves to play tug with them or another dog. Rico is easy to love, gets along great with dogs and and kids. He walks good on leash and is housebroken and crate trained. He is a true gentleman and is ready for that special person(s) to give him his well-deserved furever home. He is waiting to meet you! Neutered, heartworm tested, recent dental, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption! He is hit and miss with cats so a calm cat that does not do much he would have less of an issue with. An active cat that will hiss and get in his business is not a match. To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $100 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family.
