Story
Meet Teeter — A Sensitive, Loving Girl Looking for a Calm, ChildFree Home
Teeter is a beautiful, affectionate Black Lab mix (born 2022) with a big heart and an even bigger desire to bond with her people. She’s housebroken, crate trained, cat friendly, active, and loves to give kisses. She enjoys walks, fetch, and being part of a quiet, predictable household where she can relax and feel safe.
Her Personality
Affectionate & Sweet: She loves her people and shows it with kisses and closeness.
Active & Playful: Fetch and outdoor time are her favorite ways to burn energy.
Nervous in Busy Environments: Loud noises, chaos, and especially small children make her anxious.
Cat Friendly: She does well with feline companions.
Leash Trained & Knows Commands: She’s smart and responsive.
Crate Trained (although doesn't love spending time there)
Important Things to Know
Teeter struggles with anxiety when left alone and also around small children - she becomes visibly stressed
Teeter will thrive in a home that offers:
NO small children
A large, securely fenced yard to run and burn energy
A lowtraffic, calm household
Owners who enjoy daily walks to help keep her nails filed and her mind relaxed
Someone patient, consistent, and understanding of anxious dogs
Teeter might be okay in a home with older kids (age 12+) and slow introductions to see how she does. She currently takes medication for anxiety, but hopefully medication won't always be necessary in the right environment for her.
The suggested adoption donation for Teeter is $375, 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 their pet. 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.
