Story
Nessa (b. 1/2020) is a Maltipoo with a very sad past... While driving on a cold afternoon in December, a good samaritan caught a glimpse of this 11 lb pup laying in a ditch. They immediately stopped and scooped up this little gal who was alive but paralyzed from a broken back. After having no luck finding her family, an MP volunteer was contacted and Nessa was quickly brought to rescue. Numerous clinics and specialists were consulted and it has been determined that Nessa is not a candidate for surgery. Nessa is a master scooter and a total diva.  Nessa needs a home that understands her needs and will allow her to live out her diva life.  There are a number of potential complications that Nessa may experience, which means her future is uncertain. Therefore, this sweetheart is looking for a foster to adopt or furever foster who can stomach the hard truths that come with a pet in Nessa's condition. Nessa will need a situation that allows for her best human friend to be home more often than not, and will need to be kenneled when left alone to make sure she stays safe. She requires a diaper and regular maintenance throughout the day to keep her clean and feeling comfy! Muddy Paws will continue to monitor Nessa's health and will provide on-going financial support for her future. Nessa loves to be carried around the house by her foster and she's got a good eye for making sure everything is in its place! Nessa is a sweet pup who loves to give kisses and is the best little couch cuddler you could ask for. For now, Nessa is nestled up comfortable, safe, warm, and living her best life! If you are curious about Nessa and her requirements, reach out to Muddy Paws for more information. Due to her medical needs, Nessa needs an adopter / foster that lives within a 50 mile radius.  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means 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 2020 alone, we were able to provide animal Healthcare costing over $241,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. 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.  Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page  ##1289605##

Story
Welcome to rescue, Timmy!  He doesn't know it yet, but Timmy is beginning a life of love after being released from a commercial breeder.  He is adjusting to his new surroundings and foster family.  Timmy is very sweet and likes to snuggle!  He is learning how to play with toys and be a puppy. Timmy has a soft spot on his head and is being treated by a doctor.  We encourage you to go ahead and apply so Timmy's new family is ready for him when he's ready to move! Timmy was released into rescue from the breeder due to having "soft spots" in his skull that were not closing.  He was seen by a vet, but will need additional testing to determine the cause and treatment.  Applications are being accepted, but an adoption will not be completed until a diagnosis and treatment plan has been determined by a veterinarian.  We just want potential adopters to be fully aware of his medical condition and able to provide proper care on an ongoing basis as needed. The suggested adoption donation for Timmy is $600, 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   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. ##2259576##

Story
This sweet lady is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.  Diamond, a Maltese/Poodle mix, was born in 2017.  She has a calm demeanor and is friendly with people of all ages.  She would prefer to be the only pet, but she does get along with other dogs and cats.  Diamond is very sweet and she LOVES to cuddle.  She does not like being by herself in the kennel and will make sure you're aware of her displeasure.  She's house trained with occasional submissive urination.  If you have an empty lap and lots of hugs to give, please submit an application to have Diamond join your family! The suggested adoption donation for Diamond is $375, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).

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.

Story
Bo is a Maltese/Bichon/French Bulldog mix, born 2020.  He is looking for someone who will give him attention and allow him to be a lap dog.  He likes napping on the couch and sleeps at the end of the bed.  Bo also needs someone who will be able to tend to his grooming needs.  Maltese/Bichon mixes require regular brushing, bathing and trimming to prevent matting and keep their coats looking good.  (The groomer should know sometimes he nips a little while being groomed.) Bo is friendly with other dogs, cats, strangers and kids of all ages.  He is leash trained and knows some commands.  He needs a fenced yard so he has room to stretch his legs and explore.  Bonus points if you are home the majority of the day because he is not crate trained.  He is housebroken and will signal when he needs to go outside, but he will benefit from a refresher course in his new environment.  Help us find this sweet boy a new home - apply today! The suggested adoption donation for Bo 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.
