Story
Sasha, the reigning monarch of her foster castle, is a six-year-old English Bulldog with a heart as big as her adorable wrinkles. In her ideal home, she would prefer to assert her regal status as the one and only fur child. Sasha, having grown up in the presence of kiddos, exudes a gentle and amiable demeanor, making her a delightful companion for families with older kiddos. This bulldog queen is not just about regality; she's a playful soul who revels in the joy of games and companionship, especially with adults.  Sharing food or toys are not her strong suit so small children won't fit into her perfect royal court.  Sasha is clear about her preferences. Despite her love for play, she staunchly opposes the idea of donning costumes. Her royal attire is her natural coat, adorned with the charm of her unique bulldog features. In the vast expanse of her backyard kingdom, Sasha assumes the role of a distinguished grazer, exhibiting a talent that could rival that of a goat. Her leisurely grazing adds a touch of charm to the royal landscape, creating a picturesque scene though leads to a bit of a joker-like mess with clean up later. Sasha's journey to health has been marked by resilience and care. She has undergone soft palate surgery and had her saccules removed, emerging from these medical interventions remarkably healthy. Her well-being is a testament to the attentive care she receives in her temporary castle. As the queen of her realm, Sasha invites those who would appreciate her royal presence to share in the joy of her company. Her castle should be a haven of love, playfulness, and, of course, the regal charm that only a bulldog like Sasha can bring.--Interested adopters would need to travel to the Omaha area with family members including furry friends to meet Sasha.  Her adoption fee is set at $300. ##1952489##

Story
Finn definitely likes to be one of the guys and seems to gravitate to males before females.  We know he shouldn't have small kids in his life--the loud, in your face squeals and pets aren't up his alley.  We'll keep you all in the know as he settles into his foster home!  In the meantime, he heads to the vet on 7/24 for his neuter and chip placement.  We're hoping this will help with his marking! ##2121346##

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##

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
Porkchop BIO –   Porkchop is a Chubaliscious character with an abundance of joy that will come tumbling into your home.  Porkchop (AKA Chubs) has no problems verbally telling someone he has needs which usually consist of going outside, obtaining some love, or playing with a toy.  Don’t worry about finding the right toy in his toybox, he will find it and bring it to you.  His favorite game is tug, so his furever family will want to be practicing that if they think they’re going to win.  Porkchop is quite passionate about the tug of war and will make a lot of sound that might sound scary but is all part of the game.   Porkchop is a strong-willed boy who has been used to being the one and only king of his castle, so has a little trouble understanding boundaries and will need to be introduced slowly to fur friends.  Despite some of his rambunctious qualities, Porkchop loves a good snuggle and his preferred activity is quality testing furniture.  Porkchop sleeps very soundly and occasionally has accidents in his sleep.  Added protection for his favorite sleeping spot would be recommended.  His foster says a late-night potty walk combined with an early morning wake up call has had the most success avoiding these accidents. ##2278240##

Story
Dottie is an Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog and American Bully mix, born in November 2020. She’s a laid-back girl who adores lounging in her favorite spot on the couch. Dottie loves going on walks and usually does well on a leash, though she can pull a bit when excited. She’s fantastic in the car, making her an excellent travel companion. One of her favorite activities is playing with a ball, but while she enjoys chasing it, she’s not always the best at bringing it back!  Despite her playful side, Dottie is surprisingly quiet and doesn’t bark much. She’s also crate-trained, happily eating and resting in her kennel when needed. At night, she’s a great sleeper who’s perfectly comfortable in bed with her person. Fully potty trained, Dottie is low maintenance in that department. Dottie would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She isn’t suited for homes with cats. Dottie would be a wonderful, loyal companion for someone seeking a loving, energetic dog with a relaxed and quiet demeanor at home. Dottie's background:  She was in the Dodge City shelter when she gave birth to our "Dodge City Litter." The shelter allowed us to take in her pups when they were of age but promised her original owner, that they could adopt her back. Shortly after Dottie's puppies came to Omaha, Dottie returned to the shelter when her owners left her tied to a tree and she chewed herself free. Dottie was then scheduled for euthanasia but we couldn't let that happen!  The suggested adoption fee for Dottie is $315.  Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. 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. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home.   ##1855653##

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.

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.
