Story
🚨Sassy senior citizen alert🚨 Meet Snuggles Sassy Pants Age- 12 Breed- mini dachshund mix What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? Shuggles was the queen of her 🏰 until her elderly human passed away. She was brought to us to find her new castle Are you good with kids? What age ranges? Tiny humans are NOT her jam. They are far too busy and all up in her personal space. She would be fine with older children 12+ who understand that she’s a little old lady and she doesn’t want you to do anything other than serve her needs like the queen she is. She is. Are you good with other dogs? Yes. She couldn’t care less what other canine cocubines reside in her castle. She will absolutely view them as beneath her, but she will cohabitate with them just fine. Are you good with cats? Cats are a hard pass for her. Her ancestral roots are STRONG. She will hunt a cat 🐈 Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Duh. No queen would ever potty in her castle. Gross. She will absolutely let you know when she has to go out and she does love going on potty walks. Do you like car rides? Yes!! She we’ll sit in her chariot just fine. Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? Yes. She will walk nicely and do her business. She is 12 so her long walking days are behind her. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? She does like toys and demands her daily Greenie to keep her fangs nice and clean. Do you know any commands/tricks? She’s not big on commands, she’d prefer you ask nicely and she will decide if your request is worth her effort….most the time it’s a no. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Describe your personality-Snuggles is basically your grumpy old grandma who smoked Pal Mals for 30 years and now just wants to live out her days in peace and quiet being left TF alone 😂 She is happy snoozing on her favorite recliner and watching Mash reruns with you all day. She would be a great companion for an elderly person who wants someone with them but not necessarily a total lap dog. She doesn’t love tons of attention but will sit next to you. She’s an opinionated old gal who knows what she wants in life. If you can respect that, she would be perfect for you!!! She is spayed , utd on all shots and just had a dental. Snuggles is fostered in Sioux City.

Story
Daphne is a friendly senior Dachshund, (born 2015) looking for a loving home because her current owner is no longer able to care for her.   She is friendly with children and other dogs once she gets to know them.   Daphne is a calm dog who loves to give kisses!  She tends to be protective and will bark a lot when first meeting strangers and other dogs.  Daphne is crate trained and housebroken when taken out regularly.  She also knows a few commands.  The perfect home for Daphne would be a calm environment and living with adults where she'll receive lots of love and attention.  She prefers women to men. The suggested adoption donation for Daphne is $350, 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 only assist 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 Last 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. 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 Last Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc. ##2672776##
