Story
Lalo is a Chihuahua, born August 2022.  He is leash trained and enjoys being active.  He will need a fenced yard with room to explore.  Lalo is working on potty training with his foster mom.  The cold and snowy days are tough for a little guy like Lalo, but he is making progress!  Lalo is recommended for children 12 and up.  Lalo gets along with other dogs, but prefers to be an only dog.  He gets along with his foster's cat, but will chase at times.  He is full of personality and a great dog.  His favorite thing is sitting on his person's lap.   Lalo's special requests are to be with a family who can provide him with the love, attention and care that he deserves.  Can you be the one for Lalo? **Lalo was recently diagnosed with petit mal seizure disorder and requires an inexpensive drug daily to regulate. The suggested adoption donation for Lalo is $300, 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. To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you.  Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost.  If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice.  If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses.  [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.]  All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age.  All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2486442##

Story
 Judah is just a young guy, born in January 2025.  He's been through a lot in his short life.   He recently had surgery for a broken jaw and has been in recovery at his foster home.  His recovery is going well, and his personality is starting to shine.  He would love a home with another dog that he can play with.  He is not a fan of being crated and would really like a home where his family is home often. He is doing well with potty training.  He is such a good boy and ready for his forever home.      The suggested adoption donation for Judah is $525, 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.

Story
FOSTERED IN SIOUX CITY Name - foster mom is calling me Mr Bojangles because I dance! Bo for short 😊 I'm a neutered male Age - 10 years Breed - Chihuahua What was your life before NDCB - I came from a home in Alabama but my owner could no longer keep me. Not sure why, I'm pretty great! I'm deaf, so maybe that is why? It doesn't seem to bother me! Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My favorite person is my foster mom so far. I have been with a few people the last couple of weeks and have liked everyone! Are you good with kids? not sure yet as I haven’t met a lot of them but I’m most likely fine with respectful children ages 10 plus just due to my size Are you good with other dogs? I get along with my foster siblings okay unless we are trying to sit on the same lap at the same time. We are learning to take turns. I ignore the kitties here, they are a little scary to me. I traveled to Iowa with 2 female dogs and I did great with them. Are you house broken? Regular trips outside here with no accidents in the house! What is your potty routine? My foster mom keeps a close eye on me and takes me out every couple of hours. Do you like car rides? Yes, take me with you! Do you like walks? I think a stroll would be nice, I'm not real high energy anymore. Do you like toys? Not really interested yet. Do you know any commands or tricks? I dance when I want your attention! How are your house manners? I love attention and belly rubs! I'm allowed on the furniture and I LOVE to nap. I sleep in the bed with foster mom. I am deaf but get my cues from the other dogs. I follow foster mom when she is moving around the house so I don't miss anything. Describe your personality - I like people, get along with the dogs and cats. I'm really pretty chill and just want someone to grow older and hang out with. I like the neighbors, they even pet me through the fence ♥️. My perfect home would be with someone who will love me and provide the luxury and pampering I deserve.
