Story
Bear is a fun-loving, energetic English Bulldog (born 2023) who loves a good game of fetch and responds well to training—especially if snacks are involved! He’s smart, spirited, and will thrive in a structured home with firm, but loving boundaries. If left to his own devices, he may get into a bit of mischief (chewing), so he needs someone who can keep him active and engaged. Travel isn’t an issue - Bear rides great in the car. He needs continued work on leash manners. Great with men, women, and kids 10+ No apartments, please – he needs more space and fewer shared walls due to noise sensitivity and dog proximity Struggles with seasonal allergies, typically managed with Zyrtec or the occasional allergy shot.  He also takes medication for behavior support. A trusted trainer has even created a guide full of helpful tools to set Bear up for success - those resources will be shared with any interested adopter! The suggested adoption donation for Bear 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.   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. ##2383673##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. If you’re looking for a character, look no further! Briggs is an Olde English Bulldog estimated to be around 3 years old. He was found in Texas as a heartworm positive, very malnourished unclaimed stray that was about to be euthanized. A fellow Texan spotted him and made it her mission to get him healthy with heartworm treatment and then help him to get busy living life. Briggs gained some much needed weight and in starting to feel better, his fun and playful personality started to shine through. Brigg's needs an owner that understands how important heartworm preventatives are, he will require this prescription medication monthly for the rest of his life!     If Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies were a Bulldog, then that would be Briggs:). What he lacks in common sense, he over compensates for with extremely good looks. It’s believed that his “creator” ran out of bulldog tongues, and had to substitute a Great Dane tongue in the creative process. All the better to deliver kisses with says Briggs!  Briggs is good with other dogs that don’t mind him crossing boundaries.  He knows no boundaries after all!  He’s a close talker that will invade your personal “bubble”, so he is probably not a great match with very young children.   He is kennel and house trained and lets himself outside, so you must have good hinges on your doors. He rides well in a vehicle and doesn’t need crated for trips.  He knows a few commands, but it’s anyone’s guess whether he’ll listen to them or not.    If you’re looking for a low rider that invades your personal space, has no boundaries, and loves to snuggle and give kisses, then Briggs is your man. The adoption fee for Briggs is $300 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccines and preventatives. Briggs has completed heartworm treatment and will require year round preventatives going forward. Briggs is seeking an indoor home only, if you would like to meet him please submit an application through our website, Adopthope.org. Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of keeping any previous pets altered, as indoor pets only and kept current on annual vet visits and vaccines. Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 30, 2025, 3:44 pm

Story
Can everyone please share Thea. We are starting the search for her forever people. Thea is an 11 month old exotic bully girl. She was born with a deformed front paw and swimmer back legs (google if unfamiliar). Unfortunately her breeders didn’t know what that was and she wasn’t treated. She has had a LOOOOONG road of learning how to get her back legs working. When she came to us, she was fully splayed out and just army crawled with her front legs and drug herself along. She now has almost full usage of her back legs. She will never fully walk normal but we don’t want to amputate her front paw because even though it’s deformed, she uses it for balance and she needs it! Thea is a stunning lilac lady with the most gorgeous eyes. She gets around quite well but obviously won’t be going on any long walks lol. She LOVES other dogs and would do best with a fur sibling. She does try and chase cats, so either a no cat house or a dog saavy cat house. She obviously can’t get anywhere quickly so as long as the cat is smart, they can avoid her easily🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 Thea loves All humans and wants nothing more than to Netflix and chill with you all day. She loves sunbathing outside as well. She does best on carpet but can get around on harder surfaces. She can book it on carpet though! She can do a few stairs outside but anything more and you’ll need to help her, which she is totally fine with. Thea is a special lady who needs special pawrents to see passed her disability and see how amazing and sweet and gorgeous she is!! If you want an actual potato who will shower you with love, and you have some muscle power to help a 50 is pound land hippo, Thea is your lady!!! She will be spayed, utd on all shots and chipped.

Story
We bought Mia from a private home in Wisconsin when she was 8 months. She’s now almost 2. She lives attention, tug of war and being your one and only pet. She loves to go on walks and snuggling on the couch. She loves new chew toys, duck treats and peanut butter toast. She’s a spunky little lady. We are hoping to find someone who loves her as much as we do! She just has to be the only pet!
