Story
Meet Vinny, born in March 2009, a laid-back senior gent eager to bask in the joys of retirement in his own little slice of doggy paradise! Vinny, a Silky Terrier, embodies a kind, sociable temperament that warms hearts wherever he goes. While he adores gentle play with children, Vinny appreciates youngsters who understand the importance of respecting pet boundaries, leaving the energetic roughhousing to them. This mature pup delights in snuggling under the covers and sharing bedtime warmth with his beloved humans, forming quick bonds with new friends. Vinny's amiable nature extends to his furry housemate, showcasing patience and camaraderie with other dogs. Seeking a tranquil home, Vinny would thrive with a retiree, a couple, or a family who enjoys leisurely strolls, cozy TV time, quality family moments, and the comforting presence of a furry friend. Vinny, a lover of keeping laps warm, would benefit from belly bands indoors to address territorial behavior effectively and affordably. Additionally, adopters keen on embracing Vinny's needs should be aware of his occasional mild seizures, managed with CBD oil and Gabapentin. This senior sweetheart yearns for lazy afternoons observing the world from a window perch, snug embraces from his humans, and the serene life filled with love and comfort that he richly deserves. The suggested adoption donation for Vinny is $265. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. 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 dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. 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 dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Story
Nessa (b. 1/2020) is a Maltipoo with a very sad past... While driving on a cold afternoon in December, a good samaritan caught a glimpse of this 11 lb pup laying in a ditch. They immediately stopped and scooped up this little gal who was alive but paralyzed from a broken back. After having no luck finding her family, an MP volunteer was contacted and Nessa was quickly brought to rescue. Numerous clinics and specialists were consulted and it has been determined that Nessa is not a candidate for surgery. Nessa is a master scooter and a total diva.  Nessa needs a home that understands her needs and will allow her to live out her diva life.  There are a number of potential complications that Nessa may experience, which means her future is uncertain. Therefore, this sweetheart is looking for a foster to adopt or furever foster who can stomach the hard truths that come with a pet in Nessa's condition. Nessa will need a situation that allows for her best human friend to be home more often than not, and will need to be kenneled when left alone to make sure she stays safe. She requires a diaper and regular maintenance throughout the day to keep her clean and feeling comfy! Muddy Paws will continue to monitor Nessa's health and will provide on-going financial support for her future. Nessa loves to be carried around the house by her foster and she's got a good eye for making sure everything is in its place! Nessa is a sweet pup who loves to give kisses and is the best little couch cuddler you could ask for. For now, Nessa is nestled up comfortable, safe, warm, and living her best life! If you are curious about Nessa and her requirements, reach out to Muddy Paws for more information. Due to her medical needs, Nessa needs an adopter / foster that lives within a 50 mile radius.  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.

Story
Welcome to rescue, Timmy!  He doesn't know it yet, but Timmy is beginning a life of love after being released from a commercial breeder.  He is adjusting to his new surroundings and foster family.  Timmy is very sweet and likes to snuggle!  He is learning how to play with toys and be a puppy. Timmy has a soft spot on his head and is being treated by a doctor.  We encourage you to go ahead and apply so Timmy's new family is ready for him when he's ready to move! Timmy was released into rescue from the breeder due to having "soft spots" in his skull that were not closing.  He was seen by a vet, but will need additional testing to determine the cause and treatment.  Applications are being accepted, but an adoption will not be completed until a diagnosis and treatment plan has been determined by a veterinarian.  We just want potential adopters to be fully aware of his medical condition and able to provide proper care on an ongoing basis as needed. Facebook post Jan. 5, 2025Muddy Paws was contacted in December to take a 14 week old, 3 pound, morkie puppy from a breeder who was surrendering him due to his having symptoms of hydrocephalus which caused the top of his skull to not finish closing.  Along with the request was a picture of an adorable tri colored puppy.  Of course we said we would gladly help this pup and quickly made arrangements to do the transport.  When Timmy finally came to us he looked absolutely nothing like his picture, so some of our volunteers started lovingly referring to him as Timmy TEMU, because you think you're getting one thing and you end up with something else.  But our Timmy could not be any more perfect to us!  Timmy soon started behaving like a normal pup and loved playing with the other puppies in the home under the very watchful eye of the foster mom, because any bump to the head could have a serious consequence.Today, Timmy met with a neurologist and all suspicions were confirmed.  Timmy has hydrocephalus and possibly other  congenital issues.  Surgery is not an option and the suggested course of action is to monitor him for changes in behavior or medical decline.  Timmy also needs a specially fitted cranial helmet to help protect his brain in the area where 50% of his skull bone is missing.  Most of all, Timmy needs a quiet adoptive family with one or two adults who are home most of the time, or who are willing to take him places with them, so he can be monitored for seizures.  For if he had one and hit his head, he might not survive.   Timmy will also need an adopter who is in the financial position to keep regular appointments with his neurologist to regulate his medication and monitor his condition.  Timmy's prognosis is completely unknown.  His life expectancy will be determined by his response to medications and his ability to prevent any injuries to his brain. Timmy's story may be heartbreaking, but it's clear to us that right now Timmy is an active puppy, happy, and loving his life.  If you are interested in finding out more about Timmy, please go to our website, MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com to fill out an application or contact us to learn more about the adoption process and requirements. Let's help find Timmy his forever home!If you want to help donate to get Timmy his helmet, please visit:PaypalMuddypaws2chancerescue@yahoo.com OrVenmo@MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescueThank you!

Story
Welcome to rescue, Jackson!  He is a senior Shih Tzu mix, born 2013.  His owner is moving into an assisted living facility, so he needs a new place.  Jackson has been living in a senior care facility, so he is familiar with that type of environment.  He doesn't need a fenced yard because he is used to only going outside on a leash. Jackson is very sweet.  He loves to just snuggle in his bed (or with you) and he also does well in the car.  He loves everyone - kids, adults, cats/kittens and other dogs.  He is not used to being kenneled, but he is fine being left home alone.  He'll need a refresher for potty training in his new environment. Jackson is blind in one eye.  He doesn't know how to go down steps, but is able to go up the steps.  Apply today if Jackson seems like a good match for you! The suggested adoption donation for Jackson is $350, 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.
