Story
Ember is a sweet Boston Terrier/Pug mix born on 09/21/2021 who is ready to start her next chapter. At just under five years old, Ember is the perfect blend of playful and mature, with plenty of energy for fun while also being past the puppy stage. Ember and Evie came into rescue together and have a sisterly bond.  Due to this bond, they must be adopted together. Ember is a healthy, agile girl who loves toys and playtime. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. Ember is also crate trained and settles in well to a routine.   As Ember continues settling into foster care, we’ll keep updating her profile as we learn more about her personality, preferences, and all the little things that make her special.     The suggested adoption fee for Ember  is $475 Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. 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. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home. ##2758181##

Story
Charlotte is a 3 year old pure bred English Bulldog. Charlotte is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained.  She is stranger friendly, but tends to prefer women. She loves to give kisses and be a lap dog. She knows a few commands and is working on her social skills with other dogs sharing toys.  The suggested adoption donation for Charlotte 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. 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 their pet. 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. ##2806696##

Story
Raleigh — Your Playful, Sweet, Snuggly Best Friend Raleigh is the perfect mix of playful energy and laidback cuddles. This sweet boy lights up every room he enters, whether he’s zooming around with his favorite toy or curling up beside you for a quiet moment. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and listens well — Raleigh knows some commands and responds beautifully to his name. He’s a great walker who enjoys exploring the neighborhood and soaking up fresh air. Social and gentle, Raleigh is: Dog friendly Cat friendly Stranger friendly Wonderful with children under 6 Great with kids 6–16 Just under 1 year old, born in November 2025 He’s a lap dog, a kisser, and a total toy lover who enjoys playing fetch and showing off his goofy side. When he’s in the mood, he has plenty of energy — but he’s just as happy lounging around and being close to his people. A fenced yard will give him the safe space he needs to play, explore, and enjoy his active moments. He truly is the best of both worlds: fun, affectionate, and endlessly sweet. Raleigh is ready to bring joy, laughter, and love to a family who will adore him as much as he adores them.   The suggested adoption donation for Raleigh is $575, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

Story
Adoption Bio: Church — Pocket Bully Meet Church,  Pocket Bully (born 2022) with a huge heart, a big snore, and an even bigger desire to be close to his people. He is the definition of a cuddler — happiest when he’s pressed against you, snoring like a freight train, soaking up every bit of affection he can get. Church is house trained, dog friendly, cat friendly, stranger friendly, and great with kids 6+. He knows sit and lay down, especially when treats are involved. Outside, he’s active and playful; inside, he’s a lazy, affectionate couch companion. He loves playfighting, loves other dogs (even if he sometimes gets a little too excited), and he always feels bad right away if he misreads the moment. Personality The sweetest, most affectionate boy A total lap dog Big snorer, big cuddler Loves other dogs and enjoys roughhousing Prefers women but loves attention from anyone Protective in a gentle, loyal way Important Things to Know Church is a wonderful dog, but he is not an apartment dog and he is not a dog who can be left alone. He struggles with severe separation anxiety and has been destructive when left alone. He is not a fan of being in a kennel. Church needs to dine alone, so a separate space is needed from other animals during meal times. He also bolts out the door, so safety and secure handling are essential. Church will benefit from some training and that will help him adjust in a new environment. (The owner is willing to help with training cost.) Ideal Home Church needs a very specific type of home to thrive: A fenced yard or someone strong enough to handle his leash pulling A home that understands anxiety behaviors and will continue vetguided treatment A family committed to structure, patience, and lots of affection A home willing to manage foodrelated boundaries with other pets Someone that is home most of the time He is active outdoors, but calm and cuddly indoors — the perfect mix for someone who wants a loyal shadow by their side all day. Why He’s Worth It Church is one of those dogs who gives his whole heart to his person. He wants to be loved, included, and reassured. In the right home, he will be the most devoted, affectionate companion you could ask for. He just needs someone who understands his anxiety and can give him the stability he’s been missing. If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly, peopleoriented dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Church might be your perfect match. The suggested adoption donation for Church is $250, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).
