Story
Obi is a Retriever/Spaniel mix, born 10/3/25. Obi is a sweet, young boy who is looking for an active family or person. He loves to go on walks, jogs, swim, run and play with doggie friends at the dog park! He loves belly rubs and to sit on your lap. After he plays, he likes to sit on the couch and watch T.V. (he likes the sports channel!). The perfect home for Obi will have lots of room for him to run.
Obi is not a small dog for a small home. He needs some space! He loves to be outside and needs a fenced yard. He would also love to have his own spot for digging. Obi is a door dasher - he will run out the door if given the opportunity. Be aware when you're letting people in the house!
Any and all people can pet him while he's out on walks - little kids, big kids, everyone! Because of his energy level, he would be better in a home with older kids (age 6+). When he wants to play, he might grab your shirt to let you know. He also is not aware of his size.
Obi With Other Animals
Very sweet with other dogs
Loves the dog park
Submissive to other dogs, so he just runs away from them and zooms around
Likes to chase the resident cat - might get a little excited, but has never hurt him
Obi's Skills
House trained
Leash trained
Knows some commands and fetches
Crate trained, but doesn't love spending time in it - he can get wound up if he has to spend too much time kenneled
He's been known to bark at times and will let you know there's something going on
Obi really needs a family that can meet his energy level and involve him in activities. If you're an active person looking for a canine companion, please consider applying so you can meet Obi!
The suggested adoption donation for Obi is $500, 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.
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.

If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you. Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost. If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice. If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses. [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.] All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
