Story
Huckleberry ("Huck") is a happy Boxer/Pitbull mix, born May 2021. He's doing well at his foster home. He's such a loving and gentle dog. Huckleberry spends his time lounging, exploring the home and asking for repeated hugs during each day. He understands a few commands: sit, lay down, bone and outside. Huck is an inside dog - he goes out, does his business and comes back to the door after occasional zoomies in which he does laps around the yard in excitement! He is fully house trained. He has been left at the house alone several times and is always a good boy. He didn't touch a thing or get into any trouble!
At Huck's foster home, there are numerous contractors in the home for long periods. He greeted each one and was not bothered by their presence. He is a very good guard dog and will let you know when there is someone new. Huckleberry is a lover and enjoys people. He is very calm and greets his foster parents at the door when coming home. He is truly the perfect dog and needs a home of his own!
Huckleberry needs a fenced yard with a tall fence. This boy can scale at 4 foot fence, so he'll need a home with a 6 foot privacy fence. When he isn't showing off his impressive vertical jump, he likes going for walks with his people. Other dogs tend to stress him out, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. In the past, Huck has struggled with reactivity to other dogs, so he needs someone who is committed to working on this with him. With a little training, this prince could be the perfect companion for you!
The suggested adoption donation for Huck is $350, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavi/oral 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 $390,000 covered mainly through adoption fees.
Before applying to adopt Huck, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Pit Bulls.
Adoptions for Huck are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that he can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers.
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.
