Story
Would you like a constant companion who loves to go for walks, play outside in the yard and cuddle with you at the end of the day? If so, Shadow is a 4 year old Border Collie mix (born 2021) who would love to join your family. He is very active, needs daily walks and likes to have your undivided attention.
Shadow is housebroken, crate trained (he'll tend to get in trouble if left alone outside the crate), leash trained and knows some commands. He gets along with most other dogs and older children (age 10+ is ideal). (He gets along with younger kids, but tends to 'bulldoze' because of his size.) Shadow would be happiest, though, as the only dog in a house with a big fenced yard or on a farm where he can use his herding skills.
Shadow doesn't like to be bothered while eating and will need his own personal space for meals. He LOVES beds and couches, so he really wants to be with someone who will allow napping and cuddles there.
The suggested adoption donation for Shadow is $375, 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.
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 only assist 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 Last 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.
