Story
Special price: Let's find JJ a good home! Helloooo, Handsome!! JJ is an awesome boy! This handsome young cowboy moved to Iowa from an overwhelmed shelter in Texas, and spent some time with a transition foster in between. While there, he learned all sorts of good things about living in a house, being potty trained, and how great it is to have toys and bones. JJ is a big-hearted, big baby! A gentle voice and a loving touch go a long way with this sweet guy. Up to date on vaccines, neutered, and yes, we mentioned that he is potty trained!! The whole package, and young enough that he will make his new family complete for a long time! He will need careful introductions with other pets, though--he needs time to get to know them.

Story
Meet Ringo! This big 90 pound boy is around 4 years old and we think he is a Boxer/Great Dane mix. He came to us a couple weeks ago as an unclaimed stray and we have no idea why he was not claimed. It is very obvious that someone owned him and loved him at some point in his life. He was already neutered and knows several basic commands. He even walks great on a leash. He seems to be fine with other dogs. A meet and greet is a must if you have any other dogs. We are not 100% sure how he is with cats or kids. He is very sweet and loves everyone he has met so far.. He is current on vaccines, negative for heartworm, and microchipped.

Story
Hello there, I'm Franklin! I'm as sweet as a sugar cookie and friendly as your best pal. My heart is full of gentle kindness and cuddly warmth. I'm always ready for a belly rub or a good old game of fetch. I'm loyal too, like a true companion. I promise to be there for you, through thick and thin, always wagging my tail in joy. I may be living in a shelter now, but what I really want is a forever home. Why should you adopt me? Well, imagine having a friend who loves you unconditionally, who's always excited to see you, and who can turn even a regular walk into an adventure. That's me, Franklin! ##2231302##

Story
Maple is a beautiful female Dane mix (b. Feb 2024) who would love to become part of your family.  It takes her just a little time to trust new people, but she's gained massive amounts of confidence in the time she's lived with her foster parents and fur siblings!  She would do best as the only dog in the home.  Maple does well with cats, even if she doesn't entirely understand them. She's potty trained and does well in a kennel overnight, as long as she has enough blankets inside. However, once she gets older, I think this girl would much rather cuddle up in bed with her people. :) Meet Maple Bacon Croissant. This girl is ready to find her forever home! Here are a few things about her… Likes: Soft, comfy things. Beds, blankets, pillows, other furry siblings. You name it, she'll lay on it. Food. Maple will do anything for a biscuit. TOYS. Especially if she can play tug of war with her Golden foster brother, even better. (Dish towels work in a pinch, too!) Dislikes: Swishy pants. They make WAY too much noise. (Maple would also like to point out that this is 2024, not 1980.) :P Slow feeders. How dare her humans make her eat slower! But it's a necessary evil. Gravity. Her foster mom has lost count of times she's rolled straight off the bed or couch! She is good with kids, but would probably be better with older kids (age 10+) due to her size and energy level at times.  She has done fine with a 4' or 6' fence.  She's also been okay when left out of the crate during the day, no accidents and hasn't chewed anything.   Maple may need to be an only pup - she can be dog selective when it comes to her playmates, so any adopter with a resident dog would likely need several meet and greets to make sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone. We want to find a home with people that will shower her with love and attention. Please give this give cuddle bug a forever home, she deserves the world. The suggested adoption donation for Maple is $475, 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.
