Meet Bandit — A Smart, Spirited Little Dog Looking for the Right Match
Bandit is a neutered male Pug/Chihuahua mix with a big personality, a sharp mind, and a lot of potential in the right environment. He’s still very young, and like many smallbreed mixes, he has some behaviors that need structure, patience, and a home that understands his boundaries.
What Bandit Does Well
Housebroken — He generally keeps himself clean, especially when someone is home.
Affectionate With His People — He bonds strongly and wants to be near his trusted humans.
Smart & Observant — He watches everything and learns routines quickly.
Submissive Urination — This is fearbased, not defiance, and often improves with confidence-building.
Bandit is the kind of dog who thrives when someone invests in him. He wants to be good — he just needs help navigating the world.
What He’s Working On
Resource Guarding (food & toys) — He can get protective of things he values.
Door Bolting — He’s quick and curious, so secure entryways are important.
Barking — Especially when anxious or crated.
Separation Anxiety — He struggles when left alone for long periods and may try to escape his kennel.band
Bandit needs a home with no other pets and no kids because he's scared of children. He needs someone that is patient and has time to spend with him.
The suggested adoption donation for Bandit is $415, 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.
