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. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter.

Story
Fostered in council bluffs Name-Daisy Age-1.5 Breed- boxer mix What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? Daisy was found as a stray and brought to our vet. An extensive search was launched for her owner owners, but nobody has ever come forward. She was spayed, brought up to date on all shots and treated for a raging ear infection and we took ownership of her. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My foster mom Are you good with kids? What age ranges? I have lived with kids 8 and up. I am still practicing really hard on not jumping up, but I do it every now and then so a small kiddo would possibly be a little afraid of me even though I don’t mean it. Are you good with other dogs? Yes!!! I currently live with many other dogs in Foster ranging from puppies to grumpy old adults. I am a boxer and I do love to play and use my front paws like hands so another active dog in the home would be great, but I am also respectful of the older dogs and will happily snooze. Are you good with cats? Probably not. I like to chase small furrys… I’m assuming there’s a squeaker inside , right?? Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Yes- I would never potty in the house. I will go to the door when I want to go out and I will make eye contact with you if you ignore me I also potty well on a leash so as long as my energy needs were met, I would make a great apartment or road dog. Do you like car rides? I LOVE to go bye bye. Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? I love to go for walkies!! I get overly excited at first and have to be reminded not to pull but after about five minutes, I walk nicely on a loose leash right next to you. My foster mom is continuing to remind me to contain my excitement. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy?I love stuffed toys!!! And anything that squeaks. I know fetch and love to play tug-of-war as well. Do you know any commands/tricks? Duh. I’m super smart. I know sit down place kennel shake, and probably more things my foster mom hasn’t even asked me to do yet. How are your house manners?I I’m a pretty solid housemate if I do say so myself💁🏻‍♀️. I definitely must be allowed on your couch because I’m not gonna ask. I would prefer to sleep in bed with you, but I will sleep in a crate if you need me too. Describe your personality-I am a super goofy happy snuggly girl. I’ve had a rough start as I’ve been passed around and lived outside for a bit, but I really do love my humans. I like to keep an eye on my house and make sure no stranger danger is happening. I will definitely let you know if someone’s coming up to the door or even thinking about it. I got your back 😉 Describe your perfect home- My perfect home would be somebody who wants to go on lots of adventures! Or at least is willing to throw a toy outside for me for at least 10 minutes a day so I can get my energy out. I don’t mind being a couch potato and snuggling a ton as long as I get a walk in. I do still have a few small fear things I am working on like barking at bicycles so a patient human that will show me I don’t need to be afraid of some things would be fabulous. I definitely look big and have a scary bark so if you want me to protect you or at least pretend to, I am happy to do that!
