Story
Meet Padme— The Smart, Spunky, Social Butterfly of Her Litter
Padme is a young Boxer/Husky/Cane Corso/English Shepherd mix (born June 2025) with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She comes from a litter of seven, and while her family would love to keep them all, they simply can’t — so this bright, affectionate little girl is ready to find a home of her own.
She’s been wellloved, wellhandled, and already shows signs of being a clever, eagertolearn pup with tons of potential.
Personality & Temperament
Dog friendly and thrives with canine companionship
Cat friendly
Stranger friendly — loves meeting new people
Great with kids 6–16
Active, playful, and social
A total kisser
A bit of a follower — she looks to older dogs for guidance
Plays rough in typical puppy fashion
She’s the kind of puppy who wants to be in the middle of the action, learning from the world around her and sticking close to her dog friends.
Training & Home Skills
Highly treatmotivated and already learning quickly
Knows the beginnings of sit, hold (instead of stay), and lay on (release)
Needs a fenced yard
Barks loudly when she’s unhappy or wants something
Digs in the yard — normal puppy curiosity
Prefers a home with another dog or pet to keep her company
She’s still a baby, so she’ll need continued training, structure, and patience — but she’s off to a great start.
Her Ideal Home
An older, confident dog who can teach her the ropes
A family who enjoys an active, playful puppy
A fenced yard for safe exploring
People who appreciate a vocal, expressive pup
A home where she’s treated like family and included in daily life
The suggested adoption donation for Padme is $415, 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 only assist the owner in finding a new home for theirpet. From time to time, owners find a new furever home for their pets outside of Muddy Paws Last 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.

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.
