Story
FOSTERED IN SIOUX CITY Name-Billy Bob Age-2ish. Exact age unknown but vet agrees around 2. Breed-Australia Shepherd What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? I came from a breeding farm with 40 plus dogs. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My foster mom but warming up to foster dad. Are you good with kids? Slow introductions are required, as I’m a tad nervous at first, but then I don’t mind them. What age ranges? 5 year old and up! Are you good with other dogs? Yes big and little. I love other dogs and would do best with a fur sibling Are you good with cats? Yes. I ignore them. I was raised with kitties so they are friends. Are you housebroken? Working on potty training as I’ve never lived inside a home before, but I’m super smart and picking it up quickly. What is your current potty routine? I am let out about every hour. Working on just going to door to go out. Do you like car rides? They are ok. I’m still a tad nervous as I haven’t had many of them yet. Do you like walks? Yes How are you on a leash? A little nervous at first but getting better. Do you like toys? Not at this time. I’ve never had toys before, so I don’t quite understand what they are just yet. Do you know any commands/tricks? I know my name. I will stay. And I can walk on my back legs. How are your house manners? I do not get on furniture. I am pretty respectable in the house if I do say so myself. Describe your personality-I will come up to my fosters for love and affection. I’m a little nervous but getting better. I sleep all night in my kennel. I love to get brushed. Describe your perfect home- My perfect home would be either a couple or a single person. I would like to have a brother or sister. Fenced in yard so I can run around and play! Somebody patient who will understand that I need a tiny bit of time to come out out of my shell but once I do, I will absolutely be your best friend for life💙

Story
Meet Pepper: Your New Furry Best Friend! Pepper is a beautiful, active girl (born 2020) who loves to fetch and explore. She’s housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and knows several basic commands. Under the right conditions, she’s playful, loyal, and ready to shower her person with affection. Personality & Traits Shy around new people, but warms up quickly Protective of her space and her human family Fetches enthusiastically and loves chew bones Barky at first greeting and can be vocal with excitement Nervous during thunderstorms or fireworks—finds comfort in a thunder coat and cozy hiding spot Training & Needs Housebroken and litter trained Crate trained for safe, calm downtime Needs a securely fenced yard to burn off energy safely Responds well to consistent training, positive reinforcement, and gentle leadership The Perfect Home for Pepper A household where she is the only dog A fenced yard for daily play and exercise Plenty of toys and chew bones to keep her mind and body busy A patient owner—ideally female—who can continue her training and provide a calm routine Someone prepared to help her manage noise sensitivities with a thunder coat, blankets, and safe spaces Ready to Welcome Pepper? If you’re seeking a devoted, smart companion who will love you fiercely, Pepper could be the one. Please reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet and learn more about her story. We’ll share everything we’ve learned and support you through the transition. Adoptions for Pepper 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. The suggested adoption donation for Pepper 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.  ##2514098##
