Story
Meet Duke!Duke is a charming 3-year-old, 12-pound Shipoo with a playful and loving personality. He was surrendered to us because his previous owner no longer had time for him, but he’s ready to find his forever family!Duke is friendly, affectionate, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. We believe he’s house trained, making him a breeze to welcome into your home. This sweet little guy adores people and is sure to bring lots of joy and cuddles to his new family.Could Duke be the perfect addition to your life?IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.December 17, 2024, 5:29 am

Story
Rory is a very friendly guy born in 2013.  He is potty trained, crate trained and does well with children, other dogs and cats.  More information will be posted as it becomes available.   Rory came into rescue with his adoptive sibling, Roxy, and would love to go to their furever home together, but it is not necessary.  Roxy is a Coton de Tulear mix and Rory is a Shih Tzu/Coton mix - both as cute as can be!   If you're looking for 1 or 2 seniors to love and care for, apply for Roxy and/or Rory today! The suggested adoption donation for Rory is $300, 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.   To learn about Muddy Paws Last Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.  ##2196762##

Story
Her name is Bella but we always call her boo. We got her from a breeder two years after we got our other dog Mazie who is also posted on here. We are trying to re-home them together. Bella is 8 years old. We are looking for someone who can spend more time with her and love her. She is energetic, loving, can be very protective and likes to do her own thing most of the time. She is not a fan of new animals and doesn't care for kids. She likes the dogs she is around but not usually a fan of new ones she meets.
