Story
Introducing Kya, a young Beagle/Pug mix (b. March 2023)! Kya loves to sunbathe and spend time outside. She LOVES to go on sniff walks and use the Beagle in her blood. She walks well on a leash and just needs a little more practice when the leash first goes on because she thinks she should walk herself! She knows how to sit (usually :) and will drop her leash if you tell her to. She LOVES to play and wastes no time destroying her stuffies. Kya has springs in her back and bounces a lot. She also knows how to wiggle through small spaces, so she would LOVE to have a fenced yard (at least 4') so she can explore on her own. Kya is food motivated and brave. She also LOVES belly rubs and couch snuggle time.
Kya is kennel trained and will go in willingly for a treat. She's a little growly when you first approach her kennel, but ONLY because she really just wants to get out and see her friends. She can hold her bladder 4-5 hours and we're pretty sure this would improve with consistency in a home environment. She is currently on medications to help take the edge off scary and new situations. We think as she adjusts and feels more comfortable in her forever home, the need for medication will decrease. We recommend kids ages 8-10 and older for Kya because she's energetic and might be too much for little kids. She is learning how to settle and sit. Are you the one to give this fun-loving girl her forever home?
The suggested adoption donation for Kya 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.
