Great dog but needs help with training. We are sad to give him up as he is a sweet boy who would make a great family dog.

Story
Snoopy is a 5-year-old pug mix who recently found himself at God’s Dogs Rescue after his owner passed away. Though reserved at first, he is settling into his foster home and loving every bit of the comfort and love it provides. Snoopy is a mellow, affectionate pup who adores being petted and snuggling up with his favorite people. His sturdy little frame may be on the chonky side, but he can still zip around when the mood strikes! Snoopy is crate trained, housebroken, and does well on a leash. He is quiet, calm, and good with cats, making him an easygoing companion. Though he has been with his sister Sweetpea all his life, he is ready to find a loving home of his own where he can be cherished. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Sweetpea is a 5-year-old pug mix who recently joined God’s Dogs Rescue. She found herself in a shelter after her owner passed away, but now she’s safe in a foster home, where her wagging tail and bright eyes show just how happy she is. Sweetpea is a calm and affectionate girl who loves being petted and cuddling up with her people. She may be a little on the chonky side, but don’t let her short legs fool you—she can move fast when she wants to!Sweetpea is crate trained, housebroken, and walks well on a leash. She is quiet, gentle, and even gets along with cats. While she has spent her life with her brother Snoopy, she is independent enough to thrive in a loving home of her own. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Stella is a sweet Pug (pure bred), born appx March 2022.  She's looking for a new place with her bestie, Sam, also a Pug, born appx March 2023.  They are both playful and good with cats, dogs, kids, and everyone.  Both are kennel trained and don't bark very much.  Sam and Stella are mostly housetrained, but Sam marks sometimes.  We're hoping that improves when he is neutered.  Stella is a lap dog and Sam loves to be outside.  We'll keep posting updates as we learn more! The suggested adoption donation for both Stella & Sam is $825, 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you.  Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost.  If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice.  If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses.  [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.]  All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age.  All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2323910##

Story
Willie is such a sweet boy when it comes to humans but when it comes to other animals he’s a bit aggressive so he needs to be an only pet and someone who can work with him on his behavior issues. He has allergies that make his skin itch a lot and refuses to go outside to go to the bathroom if it’s wet or cold. We love him but our household is splitting soon and neither side can take on his extra needs right now. :(
