Story
Antiqtalik is an 8 year old female Shih Tzu! She weighs 20.3 pounds and is a sweet girl. She has been friendly with people and gets along well with the other dogs at the rescue.Antiqtalik has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. She tested negative for heartworms and had a dental exam and cleaning. Our vet removed a large mammary tumor (involved the entire gland) and another smaller tumor. Chest x-ray revealed no evidence of it spreading. Antiqtalik is doing great since then and is otherwise apparently healthy. Her adoption fee is $300.00. If you are a preapproved adopter, just email us at adoptions.scdr@gmail.com and let us know you are interested in adopting her. If you are not preapproved, you will need to complete the adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com. We are located in Prole Iowa. Thanks!

Story
Orion (b 7/14/2023) a Shihtzu/Terrier/Pug mix.  Orion ready for their second chance! Orion is checking out his new foster home and meeting his foster family. We’ll share updates as we learn more about his personality and furever needs! The suggested adoption donation for Orion is $465, 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 $390,000 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.  Alter Agreement: If the dog or cat you adopt is older than six months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you. Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $80 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost. If the dog or cat is younger ,than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice. If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $80 for dogs, and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses. All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized. 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. ##1867542##
