Story
SweetTart is a Velcro puppy who believes personal space is highly overrated! When you come home, she gets so excited that she wants to cover your entire face in kisses. Why settle for a simple hello when you can get the full SweetTart smooch treatment? This adorable girl has the cutest little curled tail and an underbite that will steal your heart. She gets along with other dogs and doesn’t mind sharing her home with cats, either! SweetTart is still working on her potty training and learning that it’s okay when her people leave. She can be a little barky when you head out, but she’s already showing improvement. SweetTart would love a family who wants a loyal little shadow, a professional cuddle buddy, and a puppy who thinks every homecoming deserves a kissing marathon. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you with her whole heart (and then some), **SweetTart is ready to stick to you like sugar! Local adoption fee is $450(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Lilly! Lilly is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltipoo mix who came to us when her people had to move into a care facility and could no longer care for her. She is not a puppy, but still has a lot of life to live!This sweet-natured girl is an easy companion who loves people and gets along well with other well-behaved dogs. She’s potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is just as happy heading out for a stroll as she is relaxing at home.One of Lilly’s favorite spots is perched on the back of the couch, where she can survey her surroundings. Apparently, this little lady prefers the high ground!Lilly is a lovely mix of affectionate, easygoing, and just a little quirky. She’s ready to find a new family to love and a couch to call her own.

Story
Meet Oliver. He is a senior Maltese (born 2013) who still looks like a puppy. He's housetrained and good with cats and other dogs. He's a little cautious at first, but then he will be your best friend and follow you around.  Oliver loves to sleep in his foster mom's bed at night and snuggle! Oliver is nervous around younger children.  He would be good in a home with older kids (age 13+). He is on prescription kidney food. He also has Cushings disease and is on 10mg Vetoryl per day. The suggested adoption donation for Oliver is $200.  We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.  Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match.  If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet.  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 during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs.  If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, 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. ##745035##
