My story

Meet Buddy, a gentle 6-year-old Sheltie (born March 2019) with a heart full of loyalty and a bark that lets you know he cares. Neutered and fully housebroken, Buddy is a sweet-natured boy who’s been raised with dogs and cats and knows how to mind his manners—especially when asked to use his "indoor voice." Buddy has spent his life in loving company and is now looking for a calm, understanding forever home with a securely fenced yard, plenty of patience, and ideally a woman to bond with—his preference, though he’ll warm up to kind souls of any gender. Buddy is a little shy at first but forms deep attachments once he feels safe. He walks beautifully on a leash and responds well to commands.  Buddy's ideal home is one that honors the love he's always known. With a soft hand and a warm heart, this loyal companion will be your shadow, your greeter, and your gentle friend.  Buddy's owner moved into a nursing home, so we need your help finding him a new furever home.  Buddy's fur sibling, Molly, is also looking for a new home if you're thinking about adopting two dogs.  She is a mixed Collie, born August 2020. The suggested adoption donation for Buddy 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, bad 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.
