Story
Jules, a Bull Terrier born in June 2018, is on the search for a compassionate family that she can connect with. She thrives on attention, exercise, and affection, longing for a home that can meet her needs with love and dedication. Working closely with her trainer, Jules has mastered the art of remaining calm and redirecting herself when excitement peaks, marking impressive strides in her development. Reveling in cuddles, belly rubs, and playful sessions of fetch, Jules is discovering the joys of companionship and play. Embracing a structured routine has been key for Jules, providing her with a sense of stability and confidence in her daily life. She needs a little time to adjust to new stimuli, but offering her a secure environment with a consistent schedule will help her flourish. Jules prefers being the sole pet so her people can focus on her needs exclusively, offering support, routine, and encouragement to help her thrive and feel content. Before applying to adopt Jules, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Bull Terriers. Applicants must live within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area so can work with our free trainers, or must be willing to pay for own positive reinforcement trainer to work with Jules. The suggested adoption donation for Jules is $215. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes.  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.  If this pet is not spayed or neutered at the time of adoption due to limited vetting availability, a voucher will be given to the adopter for a free spay/neuter procedure at Val Verde Animal Hospital. Spay/neuters completed elsewhere will be reimbursed $80/dog or $55/cat once proof of alteration has been received by Muddy Paws. Alterations are required for all Muddy Paws adoptions. The adoption contract states alters must be done within ONE month of the adoption date or the adopter will be in breach of the contract. Adopters are required to provide proof of alteration to Muddy Paws Rescue immediately following the procedure. Thank you in advance for your compliance. 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. ##1120818##

Story
Babie is a Boxer/Greyhound/Pitbull mix, born appx June 2021. Babie is a sweet and friendly girl. She is housebroken and crate trained. She is an athletic girl, enjoys being active and needs a fenced yard with a TALL fence - no short 4' fences for this girl! Bonus points if you have a large yard with room for her to run and stretch her legs! She is also leash trained and would love it if her person enjoys being active just as much as she does. Sometimes she can be reactive to other dogs while out walking. Babie gets along with kids, but sometimes she is not too sure of them. She has too much energy for little kids and would probably be okay with age 6 and older. Babie does not like to share her food. She needs her own personal space for meals so she feels comfortable. Help us find Babie a new home! The suggested adoption donation for Babie 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. Before applying to adopt Babie, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Pit Bulls. Applicants must live within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. This will also allow you 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.

Story
FOSTERED IN COUNCIL BLUFFS Name- Poppy, AKA - Poppy Girl Age- Approx. 5 years old Breed- English Bulldog What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? I came from a puppy mill where I spent my entire life in a concrete kennel, making babies. My eyes were not in the best shape because this Mill also does their own cherry eye surgeries. Unfortunately, I did have to lose one of my eyes, but I got to keep my other one and though it does have some damage I can still see. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My foster mommy and daddy but I get along with everyone I meet! Are you good with kids? What age ranges? Yes! I don’t live with any kids but my foster parents have people over often and I love everyone i meet! Are you good with other dogs? Be VERY specific here - I currently live with a large pack of dogs ranging from small to medium size. I did try to show dominance to one of my fur siblings but it only happened once. I think it was just settling in here. I’ve now been here over a month and have no issues with all of the dogs here. Are you good with cats? I’m not sure what cats are. Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? I sleep in a kennel at night and have only had a couple #2 accidents in the beginning. I am kenneled from 8-2 while my foster parents work and I do great! I love to go outside to potty in the fenced in yard, I hate going potty on a leash. Now that I have been here over a month I am 100% accident free!! Do you like car rides? I think so - I’ve only done it on my freedom ride! Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? I am learning the leash. I just don’t like to go potty when I’m on a leash. I don’t pull so I guess you could say I’m good on a leash! Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? My foster family has lots of bones around the house but I’m not sure what to do with them. Do you know any commands/tricks? We’re working on basic commands. I know what “kennel” means! How are your house manners? I’m a loveable lady who enjoys basking in the sun, playing with my foster fur siblings and treats. I’m quiet in my kennel and rarely make a peep. Describe your personality- I have a hard time seeing sometimes but that doesn’t stop me from living my best life! I’m happy, I love being petted and I do a little jump when I get excited. I eat my dog food in my kennel so no one steals my kibble. Describe your perfect home- I would love a house with another dog and someone who’s patient with me while I perfect my house broken skills. I am missing one eye and have trouble seeing out of my other so I’d prefer a home with minimal stairs! I love laying in the sun so a fenced in yard would be nice! The Rescue has done extensive vetting for me. I was spayed and had a hernia repair as well as a dental eye surgery and a nose job. I am all ready to go now!
