Story
This guy has been my best friend for 7 years and it is going to be extremely difficult to see him go. We adopted Zeke into our lives as a puppy very much expecting him to spend all of his years with us. Unfortunately, we have two kids and he does not get the attention he deserves. The good He’s house trained and hasn’t had an accident in a long time. He knows some of the basic tricks such as sit, down, and wait (with a treat I’ve had him wait for over 30 minutes). His crate has an open door policy. He loves being in his crate (never a punishment). He is loyal to his family and friends. He loves his belly rubbed and head scratched The bad He will bark through windows and potentially scratch them if they are in his reach. He loves to run on the leash but does not walk on the leash without pulling. He has high anxiety around strangers, he has nipped a few people in the shins but when he is introduced properly he’s your best friend within minutes. He has never aggressively bit anyone.

Story
5 or 6 month old puppy - good mannersMugsley is appro 5 to 6 months old. He has adult incisors but still has his baby canine teeth. This adorable BIG puppy was picked up on a stray hold in Nebraska City and not claimed. So we have no owner information or date of birth. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccines.  Mugsley is just way too cute. He has really awesome manners for a 5 month old and just LOVES human contact and attention. He will lay on the couch or bed forever if he has someone with him. He sleeps through the night and is picking up potty training really quickly. He will indicate when he needs to go out and try to get your attention. We crate him during the day while we are gone, but otherwise he is free range all day. He cries when he can't reach me and there is a gate in the way. He sleeps with the cats at the foot of the bed. He has already gotten taller in the 2 weeks we've had him. He is going to be a BIG boy! You can still see his ribs a little, but he has been gaining weight fast!   He might even prove to be mixed with something tall. He is lanky and growing like a weed.

Story
Marla (b. 4/2018) is a beautiful German Shepard looking for a patient, consistent owner. She is looking for a home that is able to provide her with stability to help her overcome her fears and help get her on the right track! Marla would love to live in a new home as an only dog but with the proper intro, she could potentially be OK! She is reactive to dogs in general and would need multiple visits with her new adopter. She would, however, do best in a home with no children. Young children and other high strung dogs really stress her out. Marla also needs a 6 foot fence because she can clear a 4 foot fence with no problems. With lots of structure, positive reinforcement, and the help of a trainer, we are confident that Marla will blossom into a great companion. If you think Marla would be a great addition to your family, please fill out an application to meet this sweet girl! Adoptions for Marla are limited to the area within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area so the pet can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainer. The suggested adoption donation for Marla is $250.  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 dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. 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 during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Story
Introducing Mallory a gorgeous Belgian Malinois Mix b. 07/2017. Sadly, Mallory did not have the best start to life and grew fearful of people. Due to this she is slow to warm up and will require multiple visits with any potential adopters. But once you have earned her trust she is a smart loyal girl. Mallory wouldn't mind having another dog or two in her furever home tho she would need to meet them a couple of times to ensure everyone was to party for life together! As much as Mallory wouldn't mind a dog sibling, she will take a hard pass on any human or feline siblings. So who is ready to add this smart girl to their family? Apply today and learn what loyalty means! All dogs adopted through Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue come with a lifetime free behavior; training with our Positive Reinforcement/Relationship Based trainers. To assist in a smooth successful transition, Mallory will be required to have training sessions set up at the time of adoption and maintain the scheduled sessions post-adoption. The suggested adoption donation for Mallory is $250. 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.
