Story
Dax – 6-month-old Pointer MixDax is a sweet, affectionate 6-month-old pointer mix with a gentle heart, a sharp mind, and a playful puppy spirit. He came to AHeinz on transport from a crisis-stricken Oklahoma animal shelter and is now off the euthanasia list and happily settling into foster care in Des Moines. Since his arrival, he has been out and about with his foster mom and has shown he loves everyone he meets, dog and human! He met a lot of children at a meet and greet and he adores them and vice versa!Currently about 43 pounds and still filling out, Dax is an active hunting-breed mix who loves exercise and outdoor time. A **securely fenced yard** is important for him so he can safely run and burn off energy.Dax is very smart and already working on Level 4 enrichment puzzles. He thrives with daily mental stimulation and loves Kongs, lick mats, puzzle toys, frozen treats, and healthy (non-rawhide) chews. Regular enrichment helps him stay happy and settled. He quickly learned sit and down and is working on more basics. He is friendly with both large and small dogs and lives peacefully with his foster’s resident dogs. Dax loves being with his people and soaking up affection, but he’s not clingy. He’s happy to relax nearby and also enjoys his independent downtime, often choosing a favorite chair or sofa to unwind on his own.Additional notes:* Wonderful on recall with zero training! *Doing great with pee pad housetraining, which was necessary because of cold snap. Now his training to go outdoors is going nicely! He is a very clean dog when he knows where to go. * Quickly learning to walk well on leash. * Has not been kept in a crate. He does great in a puppy proofed room with a baby gate when his foster is away from the house. * Not yet tested with cats but we can arrange for him meet potential adopters’ cats and other pets*Sleeps quietly throughout the night Dax would do best with adopters who have the time and commitment to provide daily exercise, outdoor activity, training, and enrichment. He’s an excellent match for an active home that enjoys working with a smart, athletic, and affectionate young dog. He is an extrovert so his human (s) should enjoy his antics while meeting new friends!Dax will be neutered and vaccinated prior to adoption. More updates to come as he continues to settle in.If you’re looking for a smart, loving puppy who enjoys adventure

Oakley is a very sweet boy. He will do well with a family that will let him be safe and not try and intimidate him. Not sure of his background before he came to us, but he is fearful at times and often guards food, toys, etc.

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##
