Story
Wells is a handsome and friendly young Dutch Shepherd dog (born 2023).  He's looking for a new home because his owner is being deployed.  He loves meeting new people, although he may be a little shy at first.  Wells doesn't mind being in his crate when needed.  He is leash trained and knows some commands.   Here's a few things to know about Wells: Active & calm tendencies - he's both depending on his mood Shy around people - it just depends on his mood Kisser - loves to try to kiss people or dogs he already knows Fetches - knows how to do it and does it sometimes Knows some commands - sit, lay down, come, paw Submissive urination - pees when scared or excited Wells is hoping to meet his new person soon!  Please consider taking Wells into your home and making him a part of your family! The suggested adoption donation for Wells is $400, 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. ##2595763##

Story
Pretzel is special, she needs a farm where she has a job to do or a large high fenced in back yard. She requires lots of exercise. She is not a big fan of men but does warm up to those that don’t let her dominate. Pretzel doesn’t bark a lot in generally but is not receptive to strangers & will let them know she feels threatened. Inside a house/garage/barn she loves belly rubs and is super sweet & submissive. We are looking to rehome her because she requires time that we do not have to give her. She is two years old and was rehomed to us as a puppy. We have tried to fulfill her needs but can no longer give her the time she requires. Pretzel likes cats but has some issues with other dogs, not all dogs, just those that bark at her. She is house trained, knows basic commands and is super intelligent. Loves walks & runs on a leash and does not have issues with a harness. Pretzel is a great watch dog and is very protective of her owner.

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This beautiful, spunky and oh so friendly gal is Robynn.  Robynn came to us with her litter of 9 puppies off of the reservation.  We believe Roynn was born October 2023 and she looks a lot like a Dutch Shepherd.  This girl was friendly the minute she walked out of the transport kennel and into our hearts.  She is an energetic dog that loves to play and run around.  She has so much love to give to people its as if she is almost vibrating she is so excited to see people that might give her pets!!!! Robynn loves to be outside and would likely be a good dog to go on adventures.  Robynn seems to not care much about cats but we can't get a good read on how she feels about other dogs.  She does a lot of barking and setting boundaries with them.  Robyn is about 50ish pounds, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.00   July 4, 2025, 9:46 pm

Story
Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
