Story
Meet Apollo — A Loyal, Energetic Red Heeler Looking for His Perfect Place to Thrive
Apollo is a 6yearold neutered Red Heeler with a big heart, sharp instincts, and a deep devotion to his people. He’s smart, active, and happiest when he has room to run, a job to do, and a family who understands his herdingbreed nature.
Why Apollo Is Such a Great Dog
Housebroken & Crate Trained — Reliable and wellmannered in the home
Active & Energetic — Loves to run, explore, and play
Fetch Fanatic — Fetch is one of his favorite ways to burn energy
Knows Commands — Sit and Lie Down are solid
Protective & Loyal — He takes his role as family guardian seriously
Alert Yard Patrolman — Notices unusual sounds or movement and lets you know
His Personality & Quirks
Apollo is a sensitive guy with some anxiety. He may pant, shake, or seem nervous around strangers or unfamiliar dogs, but once he’s allowed to meet them, he settles and does well.
Ideal Home for Apollo
A large fenced yard or acreage where he can run freely
An active person or family who enjoys outdoor time
A calm, predictable environment without very young children
Someone who understands herding breeds and appreciates their instincts
A patient adopter who can help him feel secure when he’s anxious
The suggested adoption donation for Apollo 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.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.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 theirpet. 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.
