Story

Welcome to rescue, Chula! This sweet girl was born in August 2025. Chula is settling in at her foster home and getting comfortable in her new environment. We will share updates as we learn more about Chula. Please consider asking to meet her! The suggested adoption donation for Chula is $465, 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. 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

Edith is a happy, playful puppy who has been thriving in a loving foster home since birth. Growing up in a home environment has helped her become accustomed to everyday sights, sounds, and routines, giving her a great start in life. Like any young puppy, she is curious, affectionate, and eager to explore the world. She enjoys playtime, cuddles, and spending time with people. Edith does have a condition called cherry eye. It doesn't slow her down one bit, and she continues to thrive and enjoy puppy life. Potential adopters should be aware of this condition and be prepared to discuss future treatment options. Because Edith has only known the comfort and security of a foster home, she will need some time, patience, and guidance while transitioning into a new environment. With a consistent routine, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, she is expected to adjust well and become a wonderful companion. If you're looking for a resilient, loving puppy ready to start the next chapter of her life, she may be the perfect addition to your family!
