Story
Samson, aka Sam, is a very sweet and timid boy. He is 4 1/2 years old. I purchased him from the shelter almost two years ago. He came from an abusive home. He was not potty trained, and skittish. He is now still timid, but loving. He is now potty trained. He is good with cats, kids and females. He has trust issues with males, there are no males in our household. I don't believe men treated him well prior, but to the special someone, he would make an awesome hunting partner or friend. He loves to run, he must have a fenced in yard or preferably a farm, to run in. Along with genuine love, and compassion for his history, my only requirement is that he has a place to enjoy nature. His favorite pastimes are chasing squirrels, birds, and playing fetch. His favorite toy is his rubber balls. He will come with all supplies needed. He is on an anti-histamine for allergies around his eyes. Those are included, also. ($8/mo). Sam is a sweet and protective boy, who deserves the best of homes.

Story
Athena is a beautiful sable merle Sheltie who was saved from puppy mill. She has been in foster care for a year and a half now. She has learned that humans can be trusted, though she is still skittish. She has some basic obedience. She will come up for pets and snacks once she trusts you! Athena is reactive and resource protective, so should be an only dog. She will bond to her human. She should be an only dog. We are looking for someone within a 2 hour radius of the Omaha area to adopt Athena. Please note that a fence is required.

Story
Ellie Mae is a sweet Corgi puppy (born April 2025) looking for a family who would like to play with her, take her on walks and teach her everything she needs to know as she grows.  She is crate trained and friendly with dogs and cats.  Ellie Mae likes to speak her mind and will occasionally dig in the yard as puppies tend to do.  She's doing very well with house training, but still needs to be supervised.  The perfect home for Ellie Mae will have a fenced yard and people who will make sure she gets the exercise she needs. Previous herding dog experience would be a plus!  She has not been around children, so we're not sure how she would do.  Ellie Mae walks okay on her leash, but will benefit from some additional training. The suggested adoption donation for Ellie Mae 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.   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.   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. ##2524853##
