Story
This is Kya, a young Beagle/Pug mix (b. 3/13/23) and she needs a home! Kya loves all the good things in life - cuddles, treats and car rides! Did we mention treats?! She loves to eat and is not picky at all. Kya is energetic and enjoys being active. She needs slow introductions to people, but is easy to win over with treats and belly rubs. She gets very excited when she first sees you, but is quick to calm down. She loves to have you throw treats so she can catch them in her mouth. She also loves her toys and will find a favorite stuffie to carry around with her.
Kya needs an alkatraz kennel because she can magically squeeze between the bars of a regular wire kennel She hasn't been destructive when she has gotten out, she just wants to lay on the couch or bed. She sleeps in her kennel overnight and will bark if she wants a toy, water, food or a potty break. She goes to her kennel willingly for a treat. Kya is confident and puts on a big act of "I'm the boss and you can't come in" when it's time to open her kennel door. Once she realizes you bring freedom (and cookies), and after she gets her initial bounces and zooms out, she's happy to be petted and loved. And she will be the one to decide when you are done petting her! :)
Kya is potty trained will go to the door when she wants to be let outside. Kya is working on manners right now and even though she is friendly with kids, she would probably be better in a home with older kids (age 13+). She is also good with cats. Kya has been fine if left outside of her kennel for a couple hours by herself once she has adjusted to her new environment. The ideal home would have a fenced yard because she loves to run and LOVES to be outside! No issues with her jumping a 4 foot fence. Kya is a cuddle bug and likes to sleep under blankets. She also loves car rides!!
The suggested adoption donation for Kya 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.
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.

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 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, 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. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
