Story
Harley is a sweet senior Golden Retriever mix, born in 2017. She is very loving and friendly with everyone. Once you pet her, you'll have a friend for life!
Harley is diabetic and needs someone who can handle her medication needs, both financially and administering.
Personality
Friendly with kids (all ages), and strangers
Loves to give kisses
Loves to be outside in the yard, sniff and lay in the grass
Generally calm, but gets excited when people talk to her and pet her
Friendly to other dogs that are smaller than her
She is intimitated by bigger dogs - not aggressive, just doesn't engage with them
She's never been around cats, so we don't know how she would do
Harley's Skills
House trained
Leash and Crate trained
Knows some commands
Other Health Info
Takes medication for allergies
Her eyesight is not what it used to be, but she does not have problems getting around
According to the vet, she has cataracts
Diagnosed with diabetes a littlve over 2 years ago
The Perfect Home
Someone who is okay giving medication or is willing to learn
A fenced yard would be ideal so she can safely wander in the yard (although she is accustomed to being in an apartment)
Kids or no kids would be okay
Not sure about cats, but she is very loving so she might be okay with them
** Please consider giving this special girl a home or spread the word if you know someone that might be perfect for her! **
The suggested adoption donation for Harley is $350, 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.
