Story
Meet Ginger!! A 5-year-old golden mix who is a total lover! *She has gotten along well with our resident dog and dogs she has met on our walks. She isn't super playful yet; would rather hang out with her humans. *She is a Velcro girl and can be timid when meeting men. She warmed up to her foster dad just fine and loves to lay next to his chair to get belly rubs. *Completely housebroken and sleeps through the night on a dog bed beside our bed. *She has met kids on her walks and been just fine. It is our understanding she was living with children. She seems interested in kids when she hears them but I feel she would be better with kids in the home being over the age of 5 as she can be timid if her environment gets loud. *She has a few pounds to lose (weighs 67 lbs) and we’re working on that with our nightly walks. *We were told her previous home had several cats and they co-existed. She loves to chase rabbits so I'm not sure how she would be with an unknown cat. (no cats reside in her foster home) *A physical fence (no invisible fence) is required. If you’re looking for a companion who wants nothing more than to lay by your feet and get belly rubs, perhaps this is your girl! Forever Home Requirements: *Physical fence required (no invisible fence) *Children in the home need to be over the age of 5 *Dogs: Gets along with other dogs *Cats: Uknown

Olaf came to HSNEI from another humane society. He is loving the driftless area and looking for a family who's ideal Saturday is to crash on the couch after a hike in the woods. He wants to know what you are doing and is ready to lend a helping paw when you need it. He likes to play tug and is willing to play any game you want to play, he is all about play time. If Olaf sounds like your ideal companion, fill out an adoption form today; www.hsnei.org/adoptabledogs!!

Story
Weaver is a five-year-old English retriever. He has been in his foster home (Minneapolis MN area) for a month now and here’s what we’ve learned about this amazing boy! *He’s smart and a fast learner. *He’s sweet and gentle except when meeting people he’ll jump up on you. We’re still working on manners. *He LOVES humans but takes subtle cues from his resident 4 fur sisters. *He loves everyone he meets including kids, but may knock over little ones with his energy and exuberance. Kids 8+ are recommended. *He gets along great with other dogs taking cues from them. *He walks well with a leash and harness. He loves his walks. *He loves breakfast, and dinner and takes treats gently from your hand. *He does all his business outside. *He’s a Velcro dog, needing to be by his people including at night where he sleeps beside the bed on the floor. *He sometimes has bad dreams about what life was like when he was living outside alone. *Weaver is not a candidate for a boarding facility. *He needs reassurance and consistency so he can learn that people are good, and will be there for him. Weaver is a marvelous dog with lots of amazing qualities. Because of his past, he needs adopters who are home more than not, preferably working from home, semi-retired or retired. He’s quite taken with foster Dad so a male in a forever home would be a bonus. He loves children but because of his exuberance children 8+ is recommended. He needs a confident resident dog, preferably on the younger side who wants to play, and lots of love, patience, and consistency. He’s going to make a wonderful addition to the right family. Forever Home Requirements: *Physical fence required (no invisible fence) *Children-8+ *Another dog required *Needs a home without cats *No apartments or condos https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/

Story
Meet Gambit: The Charming Cajun of Canines Ain’t no ordinary dog, chér! Gambit, a 4-year-old (born ~2020) Golden Retriever/Lab Mix, is a true heart-stealer with his laid-back Southern charm and a playful streak that’ll light up your life. Just like Remy LaBeau from the X-Men series, Gambit’s got a smooth style and a personality as colorful as Mardi Gras. Whether he's playin' fetch or flashin' that dazzling smile, this boy will be your new favorite partner-in-crime! Gambit’s not all show—he’s house-trained, crate-trained, and knows his commands like a pro. Sit, shake, spin? He’s got it all down, even throws in a kiss for good measure! And let me tell you, this boy kennels so well, you’d swear he’s lived in a palace of cards. He’s not just good with commands either—he’s the perfect watchdog, barking only to let you know when someone’s comin’ round the bend. He’s friendly with strangers, kids, and other dogs, but like his X-Men counterpart, Gambit might prefer to charm the adults in the room with his cool, calm demeanor. Now, Gambit does have one small weakness, much like the Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine—cars. They make him a bit nervous, but with a lil' patience and love, that’s nothin’ this resilient pup can’t overcome. In his own words (if he could talk, of course): “Mon ami, just get me on solid ground, and I’ll be good as gold.” Gambit would love a home with a fenced yard where he can run, play, and perfect his "Cajun two-step" spin move! This pup thrives with a partner by his side, so if you’re home most of the time, you’ve found your new best friend."Life- it ain't all gumbo and sweet potato pie," but with Gambit, it'll be pretty close! If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and charismatic companion to light up your life like a firework on Bourbon Street, Gambit is ready to bring a little Cajun flair to your home. Come meet Gambit, and just like that charged-up card, he’ll be the best thing you ever caught! The suggested adoption donation for Gambit 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. 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 forever 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. ##2150452##
