Story
This is my beautiful dog Annie. She is 2-3 yrs old that is what the vet told us and the previous owner. The previous owner did not fill us in all of the details about Annie. She is a phenomenal dog we have just bought and new house. My girlfriend and I work weird hours and are never home. Just recently bought and new house and live in subdivision that is under construction So there isn’t good places to take her on walks and it is just hard. She is young and needs a ton of attention so I feel bad for having her inside most of the day. She is not spade but other than that her health is really good. She gets along with other animals cats and other dogs. She listens very well and especially when she has a collar on I believe she was collar trained. She is also kennel trained. Really wanting her to get into a very nice home with a nice family. I love this dog I just do not have the time for her anymore and I feel bad about it.

Story
Pat is a 2-year-old Retriever/Husky mix with fluffy black and tan fur and the kind of striking blue eyes that stop people in their tracks. This handsome guy came to us as a local surrender after spending much of his time confined to a kennel with very little human interaction. Thankfully, Pat hasn’t let those unfortunate beginnings dim his spirit one bit — he’s ready to wiggle his fluffy butt straight into a forever home. Despite his past, Pat is a very chill, easygoing boy. He’s not one to get riled up easily and often prefers to sit back and observe before jumping into the action. Around other dogs, he tends to watch and figure things out first. He’s definitely interested in playing, but it seems like he may not have had many opportunities to learn how before now — so there’s a bit of a learning curve. The good news? He’s already starting to get the hang of it! True to his Husky roots, Pat has a slightly independent streak, but he also thrives with clear leadership and guidance. He’s incredibly intelligent and picks up on cues and commands quickly. Once he understands what you’re asking, he’s eager to do the right thing. What he really craves is companionship — someone to be his person and include him as part of the pack. Pat is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, making the transition into a home much smoother. He does well with other dogs and kids, and he may also do well with cats as long as he’s properly introduced and shown their boundaries. If you’re looking for a strong, sweet, and thoughtful companion who will grow alongside your family, Pat just might be your perfect match. He’s ready to leave his kennel days behind and start the next chapter of his life — preferably somewhere with love, guidance, and plenty of room for his fluffy self.

Story
Lyla is a very affectionate Golden Retriever mix who was born in December of 2018. This girl is looking for a new home with no children.  Lyla does get along with other dogs, but because she does NOT like to share her food or toys, she needs to be an only dog.  Lyla LOVES to spend time outside on nice days so a fenced yard is a must! Lyla has made a lot of progress in foster care.  She does still guard high value objects on occasion, but she is easily persuaded to drop the item if a treat is involved!  Lyla is very loyal and loves human attention to the point she sometimes has to be told to go lay down.  She loves car rides and is very well behaved in a car or in the house.  The ideal home for Lyla would be an adult only home with no other pets.  If Lya has to work on anything - it would be walking on a leash because she gets so excited to explore new places that she does pull.  With a bit of free training from Muddy Paws, we are sure she can be loose leash walking in no time! Lyla is very attached to her foster mom, so will require a few visits to transition her into her new home. Lyla was diagnosed with Addisons Disease caused by decreased hormone production from the outer part or cortex of the adrenal gland.  She is on prednisone daily which costs about $20 per month.  There is a possiblility that in the future she may require a shot every 25 days, which can be given at home or by a vet.   The suggested adoption donation for Lyla is $365, which is TAX DEDUCTIBLE, and goes toward providing supportive services to animals in the home, as well as the high cost of vetting our dogs in rescue.  If you would like to welcome Lyla into your home, please begin by submitting our Adoption Application.  The adoptions for all of our dogs will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver the dogs.  If you would like to learn more about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue, or donate to our dogs, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com.  We invite you to visit our Facebook Page, and when you visit, please don't forget to Like our Facebook page so that you won’t miss any information about our dogs and events! ##445685##

Story
Hey guys, I'm Andy Oakley! I'm a Golden Retriever mix, born 7/11/2020.  People tell me I'm an amazing dog!  I am very well mannered in the home and completely potty trained.  I love going for walks and LOVE hanging out with my person.  Even though I like other animals, I would prefer to be the only dog, but I wouldn't mind sharing my home with a nice cat or two.  I'm open to having some older kids (age 15+) in my new home because they will be able to understand if I want some love and attention or if I need a little alone time.  My new people should know I don't always enjoy being petted or too close, but I'll let you know when I'm ready for that! Andy Oakley does take time to warm up and trust people, and he has been known to guard food on occasion.  He would be happy to have his own personal space for meals.  So because of this, we recommend the adopter work with one of our free trainers for a session or two.  The suggested adoption donation for Andy Oakley is $265.  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means 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 2020 alone, we were able to provide animal Healthcare costing over $241,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. 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 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 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page. ##1254588##
