Daisy

My story

Daisy is a young Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, born 9/27/23.  This super sweet girl needs a place of her own to call home.  Daisy is great with kids and gets along with dogs.  She does great with the 2 Yorkies at her foster home.   She likes people in general once she’s been around them.  Daisy is a little nervous around young children because she's not used to them and hasn't been around them much.  (Age 6+ probably okay as long as they know how to be still around a small nervous dog.) Daisy potties outside and she has a really good bladder.  She was able to hold it for 12 hours once.  She hasn't figured out how to tell her foster mom that she needs to go outside - she is working on this in her foster home.  She’s very affectionate and playful once you get to know her. Daisy has also been practicing walking on the leash and she’s doing much better.  She goes in her kennel when she’s told to now.  She’s come a long way during the short time she's been in a foster home. She was a nervous wreck when she first arrived and it took about 2 days for her to come out of her shell.  She should be okay in a new environment given a little time to adjust to her surroundings.  The suggested adoption donation for Daisy is $400, 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 Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you.  Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost.  If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice.  If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses.  [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.]  All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age.  All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2350345##
