Story

Cash is a senior Golden Retriever mix, born in 2016. He really needs your help finding a new home due to no fault of his own! This sweet boy is house broken, crate trained and leash trained. He also knows a lot of commands. He's friendly with strangers and kids of all ages. He really is a people lover, but not other animals. Cash is generally calm and he's very loving. Cash enjoys walks, being in the back yard, belly rubs and cuddles. He LOVES meeting new people. He doesn't really like playing with toys. Don't let his 10 year old self fool you - he has lots of energy and would really love to go on a daily walk. The Perfect Home House, not apartment Fenced yard His people are home more than they are gone No other animals A place where he can dine on his own and feel comfortable The suggested adoption donation for Cash is $300, 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 are only assisting 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 Second 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc. ##973047##

Story

Addie is a great golden retriever dog. We have a very busy schedule and are starting to travel more, we would like her to go to a loving home. She does have anxiety with storms and some anxiety with other things, but I think if someone is able to be home with her regularly, her anxiety would decrease.

Story

Needed: Couch Big Enough for 93 lbs of Love! Sam is officially retired from the breeder life and is looking for a promotion to "Spoiled Family Dog." For the first five years of his life, Sam’s world was very limited. Today, this gentle giant is making up for lost time with enthusiasm and grace. From the simple joy of a backyard sprint to getting used to car rides, Sam is embracing his retirement with a constantly wagging tail. He does like to chew on paper and stuffies so foster mom keeps soft toys away from him. Sam has proven to be an exemplary houseguest. He is fully house-trained, socializes beautifully with other dogs, and has quickly become an expert at fetch. He is a soulful dog with a heart even larger than his impressive coat of fluff. Canine Companion: Sam requires a home with another dog to help him continue building confidence. Security: A physical fence is required (no invisible fences). Family: Best suited for homes with children aged 8 and older. Cats: His compatibility with cats is currently unknown. Help Sam trade his working days for a lifetime of comfort. https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/

Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained,

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.
