Story
Potter’s default setting is Pure Joy! Every day is a new adventure for this pup. Potter is a Pit mix, born March 2024. He is very affectionate and gives lots of kisses. He loves his people and wants to stay close to them. Potter is very active and loves to play. He enjoys the outdoors, but is still learning good leash manners. He is good with other dogs, but can be a bit rambunctious at times (he's still a puppy after all!). When meeting new people, he can be somewhat cautious at first, but he warms up quickly and loves everyone. He is potty trained, crate trained, and very motivated by food/treats.  The suggested adoption donation for Potter 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 $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Before applying to adopt Potter, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Pit Bulls. Applicants must live within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 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 $100 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 $100 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.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2108169##

Story
Babie is a Boxer/Greyhound/Pitbull mix, born appx June 2021. Babie is a sweet and friendly girl. She is housebroken and crate trained. She is an athletic girl, enjoys being active and needs a fenced yard with a TALL fence - no short 4' fences for this girl! Bonus points if you have a large yard with room for her to run and stretch her legs! She is also leash trained and would love it if her person enjoys being active just as much as she does. Sometimes she can be reactive to other dogs while out walking. Babie gets along with kids, but sometimes she is not too sure of them. She has too much energy for little kids and would probably be okay with age 6 and older. Babie does not like to share her food. She needs her own personal space for meals so she feels comfortable. Help us find Babie a new home!

Story
Fostered in Sioux City! Name- Roman Age- 1 Breed- exotic bulldog What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? I was always a very loved family member. I unfortunately developed stones and was having problems urinating and my home was not able to afford the surgery. They selflessly made the decision to give me to the folks at.NDCB so I could get surgery! Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? Mom Are you good with kids? What age ranges? All kids I have had contact with ranging from 5 up. I have been raised in a home with kids since I was a puppy so I love all kids. Are you good with other dogs? Loves all dogs this far. I was always raised with dogs so I love them all. Are you good with cats? Wants to play with all of them. Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Yes. Current potty schedule is out by 6am. Out again around 715 am. Then kenneled until 340ish then out about 2hours until 8pm. Do you like car rides? Loves car rides Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? My center of gravity is pretty low so I can tend to pull a little bit, but I’m learning. I do love walkies though. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? Loves squeaker and ropes. Loves tug a war. Do you know any commands/tricks? Working on learning to sit. Knows how to kennel with a treat. How are your house manners? Loves to cuddle. Will cry if Im not getting attention or cuddles. I’m kind of a needy little dude. Describe your personality- Loving and cuddly. Full of life and energy. Gets zooming regularly inside and out. Describe your perfect home- I’m a pretty easy guy. I would like a home where I can get loads of cuddles and attention so if you have a busy household with lots of kids, I would actually thrive in that. I would also do fine in a calmer household as long as there were people around a lot to show me lots of love. I’m a typical bully where I want to be touching you at all times. Another Fur sibling would be great for me. I do need a home that understands that I will have to stay on a special food so I don’t get stones again because that surgery was expensive and not fun for me!

Layla needs a family of adults who are energetic and able to help Layla burn off all her energy and provide mental stimulation for her.   Her new owners must be patient and willing to work with Layla as she learns how to control her energy.   She doesn't understand yet that she can't be rough when playing with younger people.  The perfect home for Layla would have no children (or possibly older kids age 13+) and a fenced yard to run around in.    Layla does like to bark or nip when excited or when she's being protective of her family.  She will sometimes seem nervous or stressed.   The suggested adoption donation for Layla is $375, 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. ##2539738##
