My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Vinny, born in March 2009, a laid-back senior gent eager to bask in the joys of retirement in his own little slice of doggy paradise! Vinny, a Silky Terrier, embodies a kind, sociable temperament that warms hearts wherever he goes. While he adores gentle play with children, Vinny appreciates youngsters who understand the importance of respecting pet boundaries, leaving the energetic roughhousing to them. This mature pup delights in snuggling under the covers and sharing bedtime warmth with his beloved humans, forming quick bonds with new friends. Vinny's amiable nature extends to his furry housemate, showcasing patience and camaraderie with other dogs. Seeking a tranquil home, Vinny would thrive with a retiree, a couple, or a family who enjoys leisurely strolls, cozy TV time, quality family moments, and the comforting presence of a furry friend. Vinny, a lover of keeping laps warm, would benefit from belly bands indoors to address territorial behavior effectively and affordably. Additionally, adopters keen on embracing Vinny's needs should be aware of his occasional mild seizures, managed with CBD oil and Gabapentin. This senior sweetheart yearns for lazy afternoons observing the world from a window perch, snug embraces from his humans, and the serene life filled with love and comfort that he richly deserves.



The suggested adoption donation for Vinny is $265. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes.



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 dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. 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 dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

More about this rescue

Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue, Inc. is a not for profit organization formed in 2014 by a small group of devoted animal lovers, in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area, with many years of rescue experience wanting to make a difference in the lives of dogs. Our rescue focuses on small breed dogs, less than 35 pounds, of any age. It is all volunteer based, and all of our rescue dogs are living in the homes of our volunteers.
Our rescue is unique in that we offer supportive services, such as education and training, to owners considering relinquishing their pet in an effort to try to keep the dog in their home whenever possible. We also educate and offer placement assistance to owners attempting to rehome their pets through social media sites, which can often be risky for the pets as well as the owners.
