This is Riley, a young Beagle/Pug mix (b. 3/13/23) and she is looking for a new place! Riley is a sweetie and just a little shy. She just needs time to warm up to people - treats and belly rubs will help! :) Riley is looking for someone that can be patient with her while she is learning to trust and build a relationship with her person! She is learning how to catch treats in her mouth. She does okay with kids and cats, but should be in a house without young kids for now while she is learning manners (age 12+). She doesn't chew on things except for her dog bones. She is kennel trained and sleeps in her kennel overnight. Sometimes she just needs a little gentle coaxing to go in. She will usually go right in if foster mom puts a leash on her and guides her in. Riley is a little picky with food, but still eats most everything. She loves to be pet and she will decide when you are done petting her!
Riley is potty trained and has been fine when left outside of her kennel for a couple hours 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! Riley enjoys lounging and watching the neighbors while she's outside. No issues with her jumping a 4 foot fence. Riley is a cuddle bug and likes to sleep under blankets. She also loves car rides!! Apply today to adopt this snuggle bug!
The suggested adoption donation for Riley 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.
