Story
Sparkles is a Rottweiler/Pitbull Mix born in November of 2023.  She came into rescue with her littermates and all were battling the deadly Parvovirus.  She is a sweet girl with a bright disposition.  She is smart and athletic with an abundance of energy.  Sparkles is a little shy in new or unfamiliar surroundings, but before long she is all wiggles and wags.  Sparkles' love language is touch and she loves to snuggle.  She gets along with other dogs and with kids.  She would do well with an active family and other pets since she doesn't like being alone. Please Note: The Survivors Litter is currently recovering from the deadly Parvovirus. They are is still up for adoption, and we encourage you to apply to adopt one of The Survivors Litter so that while they recover, we can start the adoption process.

Story
This stunning girl, Jaz is estimated to be a one and half year old Rott/Lab mix that is close to 67 pounds.   She is always excited to play and explore. She is very inquisitive and will explore any new area thoroughly. She loves people and will show it while following you around or hanging on your lap and will try to sneak up for face licks.   When not following you or exploring she likes playing with her chew toys and tugging toys, especially any that make noise. Loves peanut butter in her toys and getting treats when training.   She as not been exposed to cats directly but  has been to the Dog Bar several times and is a little timid around dogs at first, but will warm up and start wandering. Currently would only have around older children around her due to her size and timidness.   Jaz is not a fan of bath time and will try to escape when a hair dryer is used though is slowly getting used to it. She is very food motivated and trainable, but sometimes her attention wanders during training and consistency will be key with her, she can also be a little stubborn. Jaz has mild separation anxiety and will whine when you initially go somewhere she can't follow.    Jaz is kennel trained and house trained though hasn't been free to roam unsupervised, should still have consistent outings of at least 15 min. She will benefit from someone that is confident, patient, consistent in her training, and can get her regularly exercised. She will need a fenced yard without acorns/walnuts, she will eat them. Looking for an a buddy to explore with? This loving girl is just waiting for you to apply at https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/   She is spayed, microchipped, on monthly preventatives and has all her vaccinations and heartworm test for 2024 and 3 yr Rabies vaccination.   ADOPTION DONATION $350 PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application We do not have a facility. All of our animals are in volunteer foster homes. Once an application is pre-approved (contingent upon a home check) we will contact applicants that are a good match and set up a time for a meet. At that time we are happy to answer all of your questions. No inquiries prior to that please. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, examined by a vet, up-to-date on vaccinations, on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped. We adopt our animals as strictly inside companion pets. We will do a veterinarian reference check and a home safety check. We are located in Omaha, NE and we do not ship our animals. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us. Our requested adoption fees help go towards medical expenses, food, transportation, toys, and other supplies for our animals.

Luna is a sweet girl. She is a little bit wild and likes to chase squirrels and cats and any other animals that will come into your yard. But she is a cuddle bug. She is good with children and men not sure about other dogs, she does live with another Rottweiler, Ruby, who is one year older. I would like the two of them to go together.

These pups are in Council Bluffs, Iowa too!

Story
FOSTER UPDATE: Three cheers for foster parents! Welcome to a little "magic moment" of rescue... Nova Lee's foster mom has been working with her on "stay" for some time and we are happy to share that it's been worth every minute. Nova Lee is no longer a door bolter! This smart girl is heading on to her next command "place," so her future family can look forward to a very smart, well-behaved sweetheart that's probably better trained than any teenager in the house... Nova Lee is a fun-loving Boxer Terrier who was born in April of 2016!  Nova Lee is a smart, busy girl who loves playing fetch, long walks, squirrel watching, and yard games; she's also quite the explorer so will need a backyard with a 6' fence to keep her close to home. She is a friendly girl who gets along with all people but she does NOT enjoy sharing her space with other dogs or cats.... as far as Nova's concerned she's the only 4-legged friend you'll need! She knows basic commands like "sit," "shake," and "ball," but her future family might be interested in working on "stay" --  Nova has learned indoor manners and is perfectly content keeping your spot on the couch warm while you're away from home. Because of these good manners she is not kenneled regularly, but on the rare occassion when she is (out of town visits with family, for example) she pouts for a bit but settles down on her own. Nova is 100% housebroken and will whine to indicate that she needs to go outside to potty. Nova is working on her leash manners... she gets excited and pulls but is working through it with her foster family. According to her foster mom, Nova growls when you play tug of war with her but in a playful way; however, due to her high energy and playful personaiity we think that any kids in her future home should be over the age of 15. Recently, her foster mom discovered that Nova has taken a liking to a particular house slipper... she says that Nova doesn't chew on it she just carries it to her bed and sleeps with it like a stuffed animal! This sweetheart is eager to find a family that will give her the attention, love, and all the birthday cake she deserves! NOTICE:  Nova is dog reactive and is working with a trainer on this behavior.  However, she WILL REQUIRE adopter to work with a trainer free of charge to provide a continuity to her training and help her transition to a new home. The suggested adoption donation for Nova Lee is $265. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. 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 during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Story
Say hello to Ronan (b. 10/2021) a box/pit mix.  Ronan is a loving and sweet energetic pup. He loves to play hard with his foster sister, but equally loves to cuddle up on the couch with her and me afterwards. Ronan is a very happy/good natured pup - he always walks with a pep in his step and has the biggest smile on his face no matter what he is doing. He is high energy. He does not yet realize how big he is (almost as tall as me on his back legs - I am 4’11) and sometimes struggles to control his energy when he is excited, but has been making great improvements with training. He learned sit, shake, and stay very quick and is working on lay down and jumping when he is excited now.  The suggested adoption donation for Ronan is $375.  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means 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.

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.  If this pet is not spayed or neutered at the time of adoption due to limited vetting availability, a voucher will be given to the adopter to take the pet to be altered at NHS free of charge. Alterations are REQUIRED for all Muddy Paws adoptions. The contract states the alter must be done within ONE month of the adoption date or adopter will be in breach of contract.
