Story
Amelia is a 6-year-old Pointer mix who loves being active and exploring nature. She is looking for a new home because future military obligations will be taking me away from home for extensive periods of time. She needs a stable home able to care for her. Amelia is:• Friendly with other dogs• House trained and leash trained• Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated• A loving companion who enjoys snuggling on the couch• Intelligent with a very "human-like" personalityShe thrives as a free-roamer in the home and doesn't need to be kenneled, as she experiences anxiety when confined. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be territorial over her toys and bones. She is a wonderful hiking companion who loves to run and smell everything outdoors, though she is surprisingly terrified of vacuums, plastic bags, and treadmills!

Story
Hi, I`m Dallas, and I have a very important question.Do you throw? Because I fetch. And unlike some dogs, I actually understand how this game works. You throw the ball. I chase the ball. I bring the ball back. You throw it again. It`s a beautiful system, really.I also know how to sit, wait nicely for treats, and respond when someone redirects me. I`ve even been known to get a little enthusiastic about snacks, but who hasn`t?There`s more to me than my impressive ball-retrieval résumé, though. I`m a genuinely sweet boy who loves affection just as much as playtime. I`ll happily take a break from chasing my beloved ball to enjoy some pets and scratches. I like spending time with my people, whether we`re playing together or simply enjoying each other`s company.Now, I do have a few opinions about how things should work.For starters, I`m not a fan of other dogs getting in my business. I can become reactive when I see them around the shelter or while we`re walking, so I`m going to need someone who understands that keeping a comfortable distance and helping me focus on something else is much better than forcing introductions.Which is why I need a strong owner cause I really like walks! I`m not particularly interested in dragging you down the sidewalk or training for a half marathon. I`d much rather take my time, investigate an interesting patch of grass, sniff something suspicious, and then sniff it again just to be sure.Some dogs want a marathon. I want a sniffari. There`s a whole world of smells out there, and I intend to read every single one of them.I think that`s what makes me such an interesting combination. I`m playful, affectionate, and eager to spend time with people, but I also need someone who respects that I have boundaries. I don`t need someone who expects me to be perfect. I need someone willing to understand me.I`m Dallas. You bring the love, the patience, and a tennis ball. I`ll bring the ball back, and we`ll figure out the rest together.

Story
This sweet boy came to the shelter after being removed from an unsafe situation. Despite his past, he is affectionate and eager to connect with people. He can be very vocal and appears to have strong hunting instincts. He knows a few basic commands but will benefit from continued training and consistency. Having been passed between multiple homes, he needs a patient adopter who can earn his trust and provide the stability, understanding, and love he deserves. With time and a secure home, he has the potential to become a loyal and devoted companion.

Story
Hi! My name is Danica and I am a 2 year old (b. 2022) Pointer mix! I am a very cute girl who was rescued from my hometown in Houston, Texas. I only had minutes to spare when I was rescued, at risk of being euthanized any moment. I used to be a stray and wandered the streets of Houston, causing me to be positive for heartworm and being a mom to multiple puppy litters. But since being adopted, I was on meds (but to me they just taste like treats) to help me with my heartworm and I now feel like a new woman! I love being with my person, my foster mom calls me a Velcro Dog. I get a little nervous when apart from my person, so ideally I would love to live with someone who is home rather often and will want my company all day every day. I am a super sweet girl who just loves to lounge around with others and occasionally play with my foster brother. I am not a fan of being kenneled, but I am house trained. Please bring me into your loving home and you will receive all the love. The suggested adoption donation for Danica is $250, 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. 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. ##2084946##
