Story

For the last eight years Tintin has been part of our families life. He also has another Shiba Inu in our home and also is friends with our two cats. From the moment , I brought him home her made it clear he was not the average dog. Independent, clever, and Houdini like escape artist skills. Tintin can sniff out a weak spot in our wooden fence like a trained professional. Once he escapes he runs around the neighborhood until he is tired and comes back home. The issue is catching him. As we try to go toward him he moves further away, rarely listening to us to come back. Often the neighbors catch him and bring him back since he always goes to strangers and not family. At home, he is loyal in his own Shiba way...often looking out the window..and looking at potential freedom. He does not need constant attention. Tintin is very athletic and can run very fast through the neighborhood. That is the only reason we would like to find a new home for him.

Story

Lucille (Luci) is an 8 year old Shiba Inu / Pug mix. She is very friendly with people and older kids (age 6+). She doesn't respond well to feeling crowded and doesn't like to have her paws touched. Younger kids have a harder time understanding that. She’s housebroken, plays fetch and knows some commands; for example: sit and wait. Luci likes to be active and is leash trained. Speaking of being active - you will need to keep an eye on your front door when open because she will take off on her own if you're not watching! Lucille is very food motivated and she is willing to learn new tricks. Lucille will take treats from you if she's not around other dogs. She will need her own personal space for meals. She might be best as the only dog in the home so she can soak up all of your attention! Her breed mix is higher energy and she loves to go for walks! She would do great with a family and older kids, especially if you allow kisses now and then. :) The suggested adoption donation for Stella is $350, 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.

Story

Hello, I would like you to meet Oakley. A pure bred Shiba Inu with TONS of personality. He loves sniffing around the yard and attempting to catch birds/squirrels, and playing with toys. He is highly active and will need to be taken on regular walks, thankfully I have almost never had to trim his nails because he wears them down outdoors perfectly. He does shed quite a bit as all Shiba Inu's do. He's aggressive towards most dogs, we haven't attempted cats yet. With that, we would prefer him to be the only animal in the home. He was raised in a in home daycare so is great with kids as long as he's not riled up and excited (he play nips at your clothes sometimes when he gets the zoomies). Will need to go to a home with a privacy fence. He's a great dog and knows many commands, but doesn't get along with 2 of our 4 rescues and we have a baby on the way. I can't be stressed about separating dogs & its not fair to him.

Story

Say HI to Zeus! (born Nov 2023). This beautiful boy is going to become a magnificent companion and best friend to a very special family. Not only is he stunningly handsome, he is curious and very puppy like. His smile is absolutely contagious. Zeus is a little shy when first meeting new people, but he is highly treat/food motivated and comes around quickly. If you give him a good back scratching, he will be your buddy for life. He enjoys running around the backyard playing with dogs and humans alike and would do best in a home with another playful dog about his size. Because he loves to run and play, he requires a fenced yard - he is not suitable for apartment life. Zeus is now mostly potty trained and he doesn't need to be crated if his foster parents are gone. He's been fine left out of his crate with the resident dog. If left alone for more than 6 hours, he might have an occasional accident so it would be better for him if there's someone around that can let him out after a few hours. Keep an eye on your front door when letting visitors in or he's likely to take off on his own out the door! The suggested adoption donation for Zeus is $400 which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

Good with dogs,

Story

My name is Penny and I’m looking for my forever home. My must haves are: a patient forever family who will help me continue to learn to trust humans, and a securely fenced yard, since I am not yet comfortable walking on leash. A resident dog or two is recommended. I’m 6 years old and I came to SIRA from a commercial breeding facility where I was a breeder mama. When the breeder didn’t want me anymore, SIRA rescued me and brought me to my foster home here in Davenport, IA. I was so scared when I first arrived here – it’s so different than everything I knew. It has taken me some time to learn that humans here are kind to me. I’m still very cautious, but I am learning that attention from humans can be nice. My foster mom sometimes brings me over to the couch to sit on her lap. That feels nice and cozy and I will happily stay there. But when humans are moving around, I move away or just stay in my safe spot. I’m also figuring out that the humans here have yummy things to eat! It’s taken me a while, but I’m brave enough now to take treats from my foster mom’s hand. There are other dogs here in my foster home and I like them. We like to play together, especially around bedtime when I start to get the zoomies. I am a healthy girl – spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and I weigh around 18 lbs. My perfect forever family will be experienced with dogs like me who are shy and skittish. I’d love to have another nice dog friend or two to play with. They really help me feel safe and learn all about being a treasured family member. I haven't had the chance to meet any cats or small kids, so I don't know what I'd think of them. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a sweet, shy, Pretty Penny to be by your side, the first step is to visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.
