Story
Meet Hermes – The Three-Legged Lovebug!
Hermes is a handsome, happy-go-lucky pup with a heart as big as his smile (born 4/12/23). When he was just a curious little puppy, he had an adventurous leap out of a car window. While he didn’t break any bones, the accident caused nerve damage, and on his vet’s advice, his front right leg was amputated. Don’t let that fool you—Hermes still gets around beautifully! He plays daily with his sister, zooms around the yard, and greets life with tail wags and kisses.
Because he puts extra weight on his remaining front leg, Hermes can’t go on long hikes or extended walks—he tires quickly and could risk paw injury. But give him a fenced yard to romp in, a comfy spot to lounge, and a buddy to play with, and he’s in heaven.
Hermes’ Best Qualities:
Housebroken & crate trained
Dog-friendly, stranger-friendly, and adores kids of all ages
Knows some commands and loves to fetch
Affectionate “kisser” who thinks laps are the best seats in the house
Active and playful, especially with another dog friend
Expects (and deserves!) everyone to stop and pet him
His Perfect Home: Hermes would thrive in a home with another active dog to keep him company and a fenced yard where he can safely run and explore. He’s happiest when he’s part of the action—whether that’s playing with a canine pal, watching the world go by from a sunny window, or curling up with his humans for snuggles.
Hermes is truly an all-around sweetheart who will bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to the lucky family who welcomes him home.
The suggested adoption donation for Hermes 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.
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.
