Story
Nova is a wonderful Corgi, age 6, born Jan 2019. She is super smart - she is potty trained, kennel trained, and walks great on a leash. She is very friendly, but is a little wary of children. The perfect home for her would be without kids. Nova does well in predictable environments where the adults around her understand and can meet her needs. (She might be okay with teenagers that can learn what her needs are and know when she needs space.) Being in a home with people that can provide regular activity for her, walks, sniffing activities, etc. would be a huge plus. She really enjoys having things to do (as is typical for Corgis). She has lived successfully in both a house and apartment. Nova doesn't have any mobility challenges, so home layout is not a concern for her. Nova does equally well with men and women.
There are a few dogs she has played well with and interacted well with in the past. Interactions with other dogs might require slow introductions for her to feel comfortable. She has been the only dog in the home, so she does not have experience living with other dogs and no experience with cats.
Nova will need her own personal space for eating and drinking. She has been wary of others around her and has exhibited resource guarding. She has also been protective of her toys and prefers to keep them all for herself.
She is leash trained and walks great on a leash. She is occasionally reactive on leash with other dogs nearby, but this is generally in situations where she is uncomfortable. Nova has worked with multiple trainers and might benefit from continued training in her new home. [Muddy Paws will assist with this, so adoptions for Nova are limited to the area within 50 miles of Omaha so that she can take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainers.]
The suggested adoption donation for Nova 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.
