Story
​Meet Stevie, a 4-year-old purebred Red Merle Australian Shepherd. She is a sweet, gentle, and highly intelligent girl who is kennel trained and knows basic commands. She has been raised around children, cats, and other dogs. ​She is a high-drive working breed that thrives when she has a 'job' to do. She is not a fit for a sedentary or lazy home; she needs a dedicated, active owner who can provide daily mental and physical stimulation, like puzzle toys or a herding ball in a secure yard. ​We love her dearly, but her high activity and grooming needs are beyond what our current lifestyle can provide. We are looking for an experienced home that understands the Australian Shepherd breed and is ready to give her the active life she deserves. Serious inquiries only, please.

Story
Niko is an Aussie male puppy looking for his furever family to run and play with.  He would also love to cuddle with you on the couch.  He was born appx January 2026.  Niko is friendly with strangers, but he's a little shy at first.  He enjoys playing with other dogs.  He's very active and needs a fenced yard with room to run.  Niko also likes to play fetch. Niko is crate trained.  He will need additional training in his new home, especially since he's still a puppy.  Niko is such a great dog!  Please consider adopting this friendly boy. The suggested adoption donation for Niko 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. 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.  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. Alter Agreement: 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 or Omaha Animal Medical Group 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, the 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. ##2747329##
