Story
Sugar is just as sweet as her name!  She is a Terrier mix, born 9/23/24.  Sugar LOVES toys!  She's curious and playful.  She is going to need a lot of time to warm up to her people - so PATIENCE is a must - BUT her foster mom says after a couple weeks, she's become the cuddliest little sweetie and asks for tummy scratches like they're going out of style!  Sugar also loves running and playing with other dogs.  She's quick to make dog friends at all of her play dates.   Sugar needs a fenced yard to zoom around in.  We think it would be helpful for her to to have a confident dog sibling to show her the ropes.  Sugar is good at using potty pads, but she is learning to potty outside. If you're interested in meeting Sugar, please contact us or apply today! The suggested adoption donation for Sugar 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.

Story
Jack is a Jack Russell mix, born 2018.  He's a mature gentleman and knows what he likes.  He LOVES to cuddle and is definitely a lap dog.  He is very food motivated.  Jack likes to jump very high so he needs to have a 6 ft fence, otherwise he's able to get over the fence.  He also loves to chase squirrels - if your front door is open, he will run out!  He loves to go on walks and is always very excited when it's time to go.  Jack is leash trained, crate trained and housebroken. Jack would do well in a home with one person because he tends to resource guard people.  He will try and nip someone if they get too close to the person he is sitting on.  When he is by himself with a person, he will sleep and cuddle and is generally a very calm dog.  He would NOT do well in a home with children because of his tendency to be protective.  Jack does really well with one person because there's a lot less stress for him.  Muddy Paws has trainers available to help with this so that Jack and the potential adopter can feel more comfortable. If you're looking for an older guy that is past the puppy stage, Jack just might be the one for you! The suggested adoption donation for Jack 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.

Hi, my name Milo and I am a 7 year old Jack Russel mix who loves adult companionship. I love to snuggle up on the couch with adults and enjoy short walks. I am older and looking for a calm environment without young kids. I am fully potty trained and am looking for someone who is looking for a new owner. I am very loved at my current home but I don’t enjoy the stress of small children.

Story
Libby is a Rat Terrier, born in 2022.  She is a calm girl, sometimes a little shy and nervous around people until she warms up.  Libby is house trained, leash trained and crate trained.  Her kennel is her safe space and the door stays open for her so she can go in and out. Libby is friendly with other dogs and would benefit from having another small dog in the home to keep her company and show her the ropes.  She ignores the cat she currently lives with, so she would probably be okay having a cat in the home. The perfect home for Libby would be with a quiet person or couple.  She's friendly with older kids (age 6+), so no small children in the home. Libby has a little submissive urination sometimes.  Please help us find this sweet little girl a home! The suggested adoption donation for Libby is $400, 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.
