Story
Arlo is a loving 6 y/o smooth fox terrier mix. We rescued him as a ~1y/o and now he's well potty trained, follows basic commands (sit, stay, go bed, go kennel, come) at home, and walks well on leash with minimal pulling - unless he finds a strong smell. He's a smart, big sniffer who loves to cuddle and hidden treats/reat puzzles. He can be shy at first, but a good game of fetch or tug will win his heart. He loves car rides, pupcups and going to big department stores and street markets, and prefers dog parks for sniffs instead of zoomies with others. He can maintain moderate- high energy play, thriving more from mental stimulation than physical, but for mostly he's calm, observant and chill - struggles with being alone/separation anxiety. Going through life-changes, housing moves, and unable to meet Arlo's needs with current busy schedule and circumstances. Looking for a home that can accomodate his loving nature and needs.

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.  It would also be beneficial for Sugar if her person is home most of the day and not gone for long hours.  Sugar is nervous around young kids.  We think she would be okay around calmer kids that are a little older (age 10+). Sugar is working hard on potty training and she is partially potty trained.  She uses a potty pad or goes outside.  She will need someone with patience and dedication to help her master this skill.  UPDATE from her foster mom 4/4/26 - Sugar has made excellent progress with potty training and is doing pretty good!  It has really helped her to have a routine and regular opportunities to go 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. 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. To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   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. ##2608859##

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.

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.

Story
He ain't nothing but a hound dog… or maybe a beagle, bulldog, corgi, dachshund… honestly, Elvis is a mystery mix with one very clear identity: Certified Love Machine. Elvis is the perfect medium-sized companion — sturdy, snuggly, and packed with personality. Just like his namesake, he loves giving kisses and turns into one big wiggle when he’s excited (which is often). Elvis is incredibly affectionate and truly just wants to be with his people. He’s young but already potty trained and kennel trained, making him an easy addition to a home ready for a fun, loving companion. He’s working on leash walking and improving with practice. He enjoys toys and can entertain himself, but he also loves playing with his foster brothers — even though they’re twice his size. And when playtime is over? Elvis is a full-on couch potato who would happily snuggle up beside you for the rest of the evening. He does have a curious nature and would benefit from a secure, strong fence, as exploring the world is very much on his agenda. Elvis is not a fan of cats. He has done well with kids he's been introduced to at our meet & greet events. Elvis isn’t subtle. He’s love, laughter, and wiggles all rolled into one. 🏡 The Ideal Furever Home Elvis would thrive in a home that wants an affectionate, people-oriented dog who enjoys both playtime and downtime. A securely fenced yard is recommended to safely satisfy his curiosity and love of exploring. He’d do well with other friendly dogs and would love a home where he can be part of daily life — whether that’s play sessions, couch snuggles, or simply following his humans around. 🐾 The Elvis Breakdown Breed Type: Mystery mix (hound/beagle/bulldog/corgi/dachshund vibes) Energy Level: Playful with couch potato tendencies Dog Compatibility: Loves other dogs Cat Compatibility: No cats Kid Compatibility: Not tested Housetrained: Yes Kennel Trained: Yes Leash Skills: In progress Fence: Fenced yard recommended Favorite Hobby: Kissing and wiggling Signature Move: Full-body wiggle when excited Overall Vibe: Affectionate goofball with superstar charm Elvis is a male Basset Hound/Jack Russell Terrier/All American Rescue Dog (our best guess of breeds) who was was born approximately 10-1-24 and currently weighs 37 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, tested heartworm negative and given heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $400 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website. Our Adoption Team will respond via email from DollysLegacyAdoptions@gmail.com once you have completed an application. If a pet is still listed, it is not yet adopted as we update daily.

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Rascal is a 3-5 year old male Rat Terrier mix who found himself in a local shelter, picked up by Animal Control as a stray. He was not claimed by his family and entered rescue. As Rascal is so new to rescue, we are still learning his personality but one thing we do know for certain, he is very athletic and can scale a standard height chain link fence. Rascal will be a great addition to a family or single person, who has a 6 foot privacy fence or can walk him multiple times daily for exercise and potty breaks. He appears to be house trained and will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations at time of adoption. The suggested adoption donation for Rascal is a minimum of $500 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
