Story
Cheerio is a friendly little Maltese, born in 2021. He gets along with other dogs. cats and kids of all ages. Cheerio is leash trained and he knows some commands. He needs a fenced yard to stretch his legs. His eyesight is not that great, but he has no problem getting around.
Cheerio would love to be in a home where he is not left alone for long periods of time. He would be okay with or without other friendly animals. He loves to spend time with his people and will happily take a nap in your lap. Cheerio also needs someone who will take care of his grooming needs (Maltese need regular grooming).
Cheerio is house trained and crate trained. He had a UTI about a year ago and started marking. He saw the vet, took medication and is healthy now, but still tends to mark from time to time. He will benefit from potty training at his new place and maybe even a belly band!
We would love to find this guy just the right home! Please consider adopting Cheerio and apply today.
The suggested adoption donation for Cheerio 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 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. 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.
