Story
Meet Cobalt — A Loyal, Outdoorsy Best Friend Looking for His Person
Cobalt is a smart, affectionate, housetrained boy who wants nothing more than to be someone’s devoted companion. He’s crate trained, stranger friendly, and knows several basic commands. Once he bonds with you, he becomes the kind of dog who follows you from room to room, curls up beside you on the couch, and happily joins you for every adventure.
What Makes Cobalt Special
Housebroken & Litter Trained — Reliable indoors, though he may have accidents if he’s anxious or left without attention for long periods.
Crate Trained — Will go into his crate with verbal cues only.
Friendly With New People — Greets strangers with a wagging tail and an open heart.
Great Recall — Can be trusted to run on property and return to voice commands in most situations.
Outdoor Companion — Loves exploring, roaming safely on land, and being part of your outdoor hobbies.
Cuddly & Affectionate — A big lap dog at heart who wants to be close to his person.
Smart & Trainable — Knows commands and responds well to structure.
Independent Yard Explorer — Enjoys digging and spending time outside, especially on a decentsized property.
His Ideal Home
Cobalt thrives with:
An adult or experienced owner who understands dog body language and can give him consistent guidance.
A home without young children (under 10), simply because he can mirror perceived aggression or roughness.
A calm, respectful environment where he can feel safe and understood.
A fenced property or land where he can run, explore, and enjoy freedom safely.
Someone who wants a true companion — he bonds deeply and wants to be part of your daily life.
He has successfully lived with a cat and could do so again, but he should be the only dog in the home. He can be protective of food around other animals or in hightraffic areas, so a simple feeding routine in a quiet space works best.
Behavior Notes
Cobalt is sensitive. If he perceives roughness or conflict, he may respond with bluff nips. He also plays enthusiastically and may accidentally bump your hand with his teeth when toys are involved.
He does experience separation anxiety, especially when kenneled, and may bark or try to escape if left alone too long. He does best with someone who is home often or enjoys bringing their dog along for outings.
Why You’ll Love Him
Cobalt is the definition of a “heart dog” — loyal, expressive, eager to please, and happiest when he’s by your side. He wants to be someone’s best friend, adventure buddy, and couch companion. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you, follow you, and share your hobbies, Cobalt will give you his whole heart.
The suggested adoption donation for Cobalt 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.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 Last Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.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 theirpet. 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.
