Story
Hey guys, I'm Oakley! I'm a Golden Retriever mix, born 7/11/2020 and I think I'm a pretty laid back guy. Sometimes I like to be super social with my favorite person, but other days I just wanna be left alone. You know that feelin', right? I overheard somebody call me... oh, what was it? Omni... an omnivert! That means I'm kinda an extrovert and kinda an introvert... just depends on the day and the situation. I suspect some of you out there know exactly what that feels like and I know that kind of personality can be hard for some people to handle. That whole thing sort of got in the way of my future as a service dog, so life took a different turn. I really like meeting new people, but I prefer an adult only home... kids don't seem to really "get" my needs. I'm still a spunky boy, so I need to find a human that will let me exercise in a big, safe, fenced backyard where I can sniff around and relax in the comfort of my own space. I will come over to you like an oversized cat and nudge you to come and join in the fun! I like to spend time walking around and exploring with my favorite person who understands that just being in close proximity to your best dog friend is all you need to feel loved! But, want to know something that would make me super happy? Another laid back canine friend to play with! My foster fur siblining and me have become best of friends, and I have learned maybe it would be cool to have another pup around! Oakley does take time to warm up and trust strangers.  He will require at least one free training session with our positive reinforcement trainers to help him work through his trust issues.  He also guards food, which is something the trainers can help you address. Because of this, his adopter needs to live within a 50 mile radius of Omaha.  The suggested adoption donation for Oakley is $265.  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means 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 2020 alone, we were able to provide animal Healthcare costing over $241,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, 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 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.  To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page. ##1254588##
