Story
If you're looking to adopt a sensational senior, Lucy is your girl.  She is an Australian Cattle Dog mix, born Dec 2015.  She is a little timid at first, but will be your best pal once she get to know you.  She is seriously the ideal dog!   She needs a home with a fenced yard and she is usually good with other dogs (we would do a dog intro to make sure she got along with any in your house).  She might prefer to be the only dog in the house, it really depends on the dogs.  She does fine with dogs that don't get in her face.  She gets a little nervous and when they get right in her face.  She's met lots of other dogs she's been fine with.  Here are a few more fun facts: *Good with kids         *House trained *Low energy              *Quiet/doesn't bark much (inside or outside)              *Walks well on a leash *Curious about cats and gets along with them  *Trained to stay off furniture      *No counter surfing for food      *Leaves the trash alone and doesn't chew on anything that is out around the house *She is not kenneled during the day because she's very well behaved, but she is also fine in a kennel. *She only barks if someone rings the doorbell, knocks, or if a visitor leaves. If someone just walks in the house, she doesn't bark. She doesn't even bark at the neighbors or their dogs when she's outside.  *She has 2 medications she takes in the evening for incontinence.  As long as she has them, she doesn't have accidents. She's very good at letting her foster mom know when she needs to go outside.  The medication isn't too expensive.  *She needs to be on Purina ProPlan urinary food. She goes through about a bag and a half during a month.  This food helps reduce the chance of stones forming in her bladder/kidney. *Lucy likes to follow her foster mom around the house to see what she's doing, but if it's not exciting to her, she will go back to her bed and lay down.   If you're looking for a well-behaved senior girl that you don't have to train, Lucy might just be for you. The suggested adoption donation for Lucy is $275. 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.  Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, 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 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. ##2046791##

Story
This is Winstorn, an Australian Cattle dog, born Oct 2020.  Winston would love to be on a farm or acreage where he has room to run, play and explore.  Bonus points if you have a job for him as his breed really needs to have something to do.  He has spent time with friends on a large property and their 3 dogs.  He is a little anxious sometimes, but eager to please.  This likely comes from his excess energy and just needing something to do.  Winston is startled by kids screaming and small dogs barking.  He will benefit from some leash training because he is reactive to other dogs when on a leash. Winston is very attentive and affectionate with his people.  He is anxious to find a family that will give him all the attention, snuggles and love he deserves! The suggested adoption donation for Winston 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. Adoptions for Winston are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that he can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers. 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.

Story
Treble and his sister, Honey, are adult Blue Heeler/Shepherd mixes (born 2020) who are looking for a home where they may be together.  Treble is deaf and is occasionally skittish and easily startled.  He will be reactive if he thinks a visitor is an intruder in the house, even more so if they are wearing a big hat.  He knows some hand signals such as pointing or a fist up for sit.  He is crate trained, but becomes anxious when left alone. Treble likes being active so his new home needs a fenced yard.  It would be best if the family had no children, cats or small dogs.  Treble and Honey both love to cuddle and will be happy to give all the kisses you want.  Even better if they're allowed on the furniture to nap and sleep! The suggested adoption donation for both Treble and Honey is $550, 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.

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.   Adoptions for Honey and Treble are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that they can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers.

Story
Jade is a Blue Heeler mix, born in 2016.  Even though she's a senior, she still likes to be active.  She needs a fenced yard with room to run around and play fetch.  Jade is house trained, crate trained and knows some commands. The perfect home for her is with an active person, preferably a woman.  She is a little nervous around men.  Jade likes to cuddle when it's time for a nap.  She needs to be the only animal, no other dogs and definitely no cats.  Jade would be probably be okay with older kids (age 10+) that understand when she wants attention or when she wants some space. Jade is a little vocal sometimes and will let you know when she has something on her mind.  She will need a separate area for meals so she feels comfortable that no one will take her food.  Jade tends to be reactive if she feels threatened.  She really needs someone who is patient and can give her the time and space to feel comfortable in her new surroundings. The suggested adoption donation for Jade 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.

Story
Oscar is an Australian Cattle dog mixed breed, born September 2024.  Oscar is a loyal and energetic dog who LOVES his people.  He loves going for walks, playing outside or just laying in his bed while you work.  He sleeps a lot during the day, but when he wants to play, he has a lot of energy.  He's a quick learner, very attentive to commands and has soooo much love to give. Oscar is house trained, crate trained AND leash trained.  He enjoys being active and would enjoy being with someone who walks daily.  He also knows some commands. Oscar prefers women and is scared of children.  He would probably do best as the only dog in the home.  Oscar needs his own space at meal times so he feels safe and knows that he won't be bothered.  He is also used to staying in his meal spot for about 30 minutes after he eats. The perfect home for Oscar is in a household with adults only and no other dogs.  He will thrive with a consistent routine.  Oscar likes to play with other dogs, but in a neutral spot - not in the home. The suggested adoption donation for Oscar 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.

Jade is a Blue Heeler mix, born in 2016.  Even though she's a senior, she still likes to be active.  She needs a fenced yard with room to run around and play fetch.  Jade is house trained, crate trained and knows some commands. The perfect home for her is with an active person, preferably a woman.  She is a little nervous around men.  Jade likes to cuddle when it's time for a nap.  She needs to be the only animal, no other dogs and definitely no cats.  Jade would be probably be okay with older kids (age 10+) that understand when she wants attention or when she wants some space. Jade is a little vocal sometimes and will let you know when she has something on her mind.  She will need a separate area for meals so she feels comfortable that no one will take her food.  Jade tends to be reactive if she feels threatened.  She really needs someone who is patient and can give her the time and space to feel comfortable in her new surroundings. The suggested adoption donation for Jade 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 are only assisting 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 Second 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. Adoptions for Jade are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that she can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers.       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
Oscar is an Australian Cattle dog mixed breed, born September 2024.  Oscar is a loyal and energetic dog who LOVES his people.  He loves going for walks, playing outside or just laying in his bed while you work.  He sleeps a lot during the day, but when he wants to play, he has a lot of energy.  He's a quick learner, very attentive to commands and has soooo much love to give. Oscar is house trained, crate trained AND leash trained.  He enjoys being active and would enjoy being with someone who walks daily.  He also knows some commands. Oscar prefers women and is scared of children.  He would probably do best as the only dog in the home.  Oscar needs his own space at meal times so he feels safe and knows that he won't be bothered.  He is also used to staying in his meal spot for about 30 minutes after he eats. The perfect home for Oscar is in a household with adults only and no other dogs.  He will thrive with a consistent routine.  Oscar likes to play with other dogs, but in a neutral spot - not in the home. The suggested adoption donation for Oscar 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.

Story
Honey and her brother, Treble, are adult Blue Heeler/Shepherd mixes (born 2020) who are looking for a home where they may be together.  Honey is crate trained and friendly with strangers and children.  Honey likes being active so her new home would need to have a fenced in yard.   It would be best if the family had no children, cats or small dogs.  Honey and Treble both love to cuddle and will be happy to give all the kisses you want.  Even better if they're allowed to nap on the furniture!  They deserve a loving family who can give them time and attention. The suggested adoption donation for Honey and Treble is $550, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

A breeding facility Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? I love all the people I've met so far! My foster mom is my fave so far. Are you good with kids? Not kids tested yet, but I would probably overwhelm a little one. Bigger would be better. What age ranges? 10+ Are you good with other dogs?

I bark at the cat, but we haven't met face to face yet. Are you housebroken? Working hard on it! I'm smart so it shouldn't take long What is your current potty routine? Lots of potty breaks when FM is home. I haven't had any accidents in my kennel. Do you like car rides? I did fine in the car, but she wouldn't let me sit on her lap, what's that all about? Do you like walks? When it warms up a little we will see. I think as long as my person is with me I'll be happy! I have a lot of energy to burn off, so I bet I will love them! How are you on a leash? I did fine getting to and from the car! Do you like toys? What's that? Lol just pet me already! What is your favorite toy? Do you know any commands/tricks? I sit on command and am learning not to jump How are your house manners? I get so excited with people I jump on them, we are working on it! Describe your personality- I am super sweet and affectionate and will be your shadow if you'll have me! ♥️ I'm either going 90 mph or dozing on the couch. Describe your perfect home- I LOVE attention from people, so the more to give me pets, the better!

Yes there is a 7 year old tabby cat named Rikky Bobby I don’t bother him. Do I like car rides? I have only been twice with my foster family. I’m a little nervous but could get use to riding in a car looking around. Do you like walks? We have not gone on any walks yet. How are you on a leash? Not much practice it with time and patience I will enjoy. Do you like toys? Yes I love playing with ropes. And I do enjoy sneaking away with my foster mom’s socks. Do you know any commands/tricks? I’m still pretty shy working on commands. How are your house manners? I still will pace back and forth but every day gets less and less. I don’t get on the counters or garbage. I sleep all night in my kennel. I am warming up to my foster parents at my own pace. I will need a fence so I can run around. I am super unique with my stunning baby blue eyes 💙💙
