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!

Story
Norah is the sweetest pup! Her demeanor and personality are that of a playful, happy go lucky dog. She loves car rides, playing with her people and all the attention. She has a cute way of pawing at you when she wants your eyes on her or just simply pets. She is super easy as far as listening and obeying goes. She responds to kennel up, stop, no, sit, shake and lay down (especially for treats! and she loves Dentasticks!). She sleep and snores through the day and requires a couple stints of play time through the day, twice for 20 minutes or so, especially in the evening. She is ready for bed by 9pm and will snore the night away! She is a great addition to any household as she loves everyone, as long as they give her plenty of attention! She is a loving, snuggly, all around perfect pet! ##2161123##

Story
Biggie is a handsome fella who had one heck of a rough start to life.  He was surrendered to a partner shelter due to landlord issues.  Even entering the building then was hard for him--the slip leash going over his head was terrifying and doorways posed a challenge.  Over the next couple of days, he remained extremely guarded with physical touch and new items like microchip scanners entering his space.  With time, he began to settle in with the staff and volunteers, leaning into them for love when out of his kennel.  Unfortunately, a hectic shelter was not a place where he could succeed.  We were contacted as he began bar biting, painting his kennel, body slamming his door and showing more fear when in his kennel. Biggie was extremely shy/reticent when he was transported in to our foster--he slept in the car but required patience and lots of treats when trying to move from vehicle to vehicle, extremely unsure of the situation.  He allowed us to get a BullHug on him, again with lots of patience, and headed to his foster home.  Within a few hours, after a quick bath outside, Biggie's puppy side came out--he couldn't get enough of zooming around the yard and playing with the water! Biggie had been reported to be ok with dogs his size and larger but has shown reactivity to a neighboring lab and with a golden.  At this time, we believe Biggie would be best as an only dog, ready to receive all of your TLC as he comes to know and trust you. Biggie has done well with school-aged and older children but has not been exposed to cats or younger kids.  He's a full-sized guy with lots of energy so smaller kids may be inadvertently toppled over in his excitement. Biggie, like many bulldogs and squishfaces, has demonstrated some fall allergies and is currently on Apoquel and the normal bulldog skin care routine to keep his paws, ears, and facial folds in tip top shape! ##2566390##

Story
Nova is small but spunky.    Her vision is not the greatest (chronic dry eye requiring daily meds), but that does not slow her down.  She is potty-trained and is good at letting you know when she needs to go out by going to the door and/or barking next to it.   She is pretty good on a leash but will stray a bit if something catches her attention like a dog or a car (since she thinks she should be riding in all of them).  Nova Lee loves playing with a tennis ball and likes to chew on a bone.  For the most part she has been good with know what are her toys and what aren't, but I still keep an eye on her.    For the majority of the day she is kept in the guest room and has not made a single mess.  There is a grass pee pad in there, but I don't think she uses it.  Generally, she is happy napping on her bed, but really wants to be with you on the couch to get butt scratches.   ##2592448##

Story
Coco is a shy girl who is looking to gain confidence in the world around her after a "ruff" start in life.  She was adopted from a shelter elsewhere as a reported mill/breeder release.  She's the most gentle peanut who loves nothing more than to sit on the oversized bean bag or couch and receive little pets.  Coco requires patience from her adoptive family as she learns to acclimate to a new situation--this may include needing to bed fed in her safe spot initially or walked on leash to the yard to take care of business.  She'll need older kids or school-aged kiddos who fall on the less excitable side of the scale. Coco tolerates her cares well and seems to enjoy her brief walks in the neighborhood.  She's just a bit fluffy so is on a late summer diet plan with encouragment from her amazing foster family.  We don't yet know much about how she feels about other dogs (indifferent at the vet) and doesn't seem interested in the resident cats in her foster home. ##2161127##

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.

Story
Jules, a Bull Terrier born in June 2018, is on the search for a compassionate family that she can connect with. She thrives on attention, exercise, and affection, longing for a home that can meet her needs with love and dedication. Working closely with her trainer, Jules has mastered the art of remaining calm and redirecting herself when excitement peaks, marking impressive strides in her development. Reveling in cuddles, belly rubs, and playful sessions of fetch, Jules is discovering the joys of companionship and play. Embracing a structured routine has been key for Jules, providing her with a sense of stability and confidence in her daily life. She needs a little time to adjust to new stimuli, but offering her a secure environment with a consistent schedule will help her flourish. Jules prefers being the sole pet so her people can focus on her needs exclusively, offering support, routine, and encouragement to help her thrive and feel content. Before applying to adopt Jules, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Bull Terriers. Applicants must live within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area so can work with our free trainers, or must be willing to pay for own positive reinforcement trainer to work with Jules.

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.  If this pet is not spayed or neutered at the time of adoption due to limited vetting availability, a voucher will be given to the adopter for a free spay/neuter procedure at Val Verde Animal Hospital. Spay/neuters completed elsewhere will be reimbursed $80/dog or $55/cat once proof of alteration has been received by Muddy Paws. Alterations are required for all Muddy Paws adoptions.
