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.

Story
Francine (Frannie) is a 2 year old Pointer/Lab mix (born May 2023).  She came to Muddy Paws from Malden, Missouri.  She had been abandoned and was pregnant.  The people that found her took her to a local vet to get her a check-up and set up transportation to the Omaha area.   Frannie gave birth to 2 puppies in May and they have been adopted. She is good with people, kids and other dogs. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She has high anxiety in a kennel, but does great laying on the couch or in your bed. She is potty trained. She loves to jump, so she will need a 6’ fence for safety and the adopter will need to be extra cautious of doors as she likes to dart out to go exploring.  Fracine is ready to find her forever home. Please apply today if you are interested in adopting. The suggested adoption donation for Francine is $400, 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.

Story
Luna is a 3½-year-old pointer mix who has become a familiar, well-loved face here at the shelter. She’s been with us twice now, once when her family had to move and couldn’t bring her along, and again when her second home realized she had more energy and enthusiasm than their lifestyle could support. None of this was her fault. Luna is simply a bright, active soul waiting for the humans who truly “get” her.Once she connects with someone, she shines. Luna is the definition of loyal companionship. If you want to go for a hike, she’s ready. If you want to cuddle on the couch with a blanket, she’ll curl right in. She’ll hop in the car without hesitation, give you that big “where are we going next?” grin, and happily tag along for whatever adventure the day brings… as long as it doesn’t include loud noises or cats. Those are on her “absolutely not” list.Luna can be selective with other dogs, so meet-and-greets are required, and she’s not a dog-park kind of girl. But she is a dream on the leash, calm, focused, and happiest out on the trail with someone she trusts. Morning Pup Cups with volunteers are her love language. She savors every single one like it’s a ritual.If you’re looking for a companion who will adventure with you, snuggle with you, and devote herself wholeheartedly to your life together, Luna is waiting.
