Meet Delilah, your loyal protector and loving companion - a beautiful 7-year-old (b. 2017) Australian Shepherd with a heart of gold! Delilah is an incredibly well-trained companion. She's housebroken, crate trained, and gets along well with other dogs. Her friendly nature makes her an ideal playmate for older kids (age 6+) who understand her gentle quirks. Being a typical Aussie, Delilah's herding instincts sometimes make her nervous around little ones. Delilah loves fetching and knows her basic commands, she is eager to please and quick to learn. Delilah's loyalty knows no bounds. She's protective of her family and will bark initially when meeting new people, but all it takes is a few treats and some patience to win her heart. While she initially prefers women, she warms up to men with time, craving nothing more than affection and attention once she trusts you. This loving girl thrives in an environment where she has space to run and play. A home with a yard or access to outdoor activities would be ideal for her energetic personality. Delilah is eagerly waiting to embark on her next adventure with a family who will cherish her loyal spirit and loving nature. Let's make Delilah's journey to her forever home a joyful one!
The suggested adoption donation for Delilah is $350. 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 2021 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $307,000 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 are only assisting 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 Second Chance Rescue, and there is a delay in removing them from our site. We apologize if the Courtesy Post you apply to adopt is unavailable for adoption.
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.
