Story
Spearow is a young Chihuahua mix, born appx March 2022.  He is looking for a new home because his owner became sick and is unable to care for him.  He is fast and athletic.  He loves to go on walks and loves being outside!  Spearow is unsure of new people, but will snuggle with you on his terms.  He's a sweetheart and will put his head in your hand so you'll pet him and give him belly rubs.  Spearow is not a fan of big dogs, but he has participated in dog play groups at NHS and should be okay with smaller dogs in the home.  He does not get along with cats.  Spearow sleeps in a pet bed in his foster mom's bedroom and he likes to have a blanket over him.  Spearow will need a quiet home with people that have experience with Chihuahuas.  He is very protective of his food, space and belongings, so it would be better for him if there are no children in the home.  He prefers women to men.  Spearow is a little guy weighing in at appx 10 pounds, so he won't take up much space!  If you have a lap to share, Spearow just might be your guy!   The suggested adoption donation for Spearow 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. Adoptions for Spearow are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that s/he can continue 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. 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
Sophia is a Chihuahua mix (b. appx June 2020) and she is looking for an active family with a fenced yard.  She gets along with other dogs and kids.  She is leash trained, enjoys being active, knows some commands and knows how to fetch.  Sophia is a curious girl and will happily take off through the front door to explore on her own if you're not watching.  She will also check out your trash if she has access while you are away and she is not a fan of being kenneled.  Sophia prefers to dine alone and will need her own space for meals.  She would prefer to have a fur sibling.  (Her current sibling, Demon, is also up for adoption if you're looking for a pair of Chihuahuas.) The suggested adoption donation for Sophia 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.

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. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION.

Story
Jerry is a senior Chihuahua mix (b. May 2012), who was brought to Muddy Paws through a partnership with The Artemis Project - an Arkansas-based animal rescue. After Jerry came to Omaha, he was adopted and spent about a year and a half with someone.  His owner has become ill and can no longer care for him.  We need your help to find him a retirement home to live out his golden years.  He is a sweetheart and is friendly with other small, laid-back dogs his size, but he would really love to be your one and only!  Jerry is a toothless fella, so he'll need a home where any other resident pets are friendly, easygoing, and happy to have another senior friend around.  He is a little overwhelmed by small children, but would be okay with older kids in the home.  One of his favorite things to do is spending time curled up with his person!  If you're looking for a sweet little cuddle man, this senior guy might be the one for you! The suggested adoption donation for Jerry is $325. Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means that part of your donation MAY be TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

Story
This beautiful Chihuahua/Pug mix is 7 years old, born 2017, and is looking for a new home where she can give lots of kisses, sit on your lap and follow you around the house.   Canela is housebroken, crate and leash trained, and knows lots of tricks.  She's not opposed to taking the insides out of a stuffed toy if you let her! :)  She loves to play with toys, frisbees and go to the dog park, but she also loves naps and can be calm at home.    Canela needs a fenced yard to run around in.  She will do best in a home with at least one female and no children.  She is cautious around men at first, but will warm to them eventually.  She would be very happy to share your home with other pets, but won't let you get too far from her sight.    The suggested adoption donation for is $350, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).
