My story

Roma is a senior Wheaten, born JUne 2015.  Roma is a people lover and is looking for a social home.  She needs someone firm, but affectionate.  She likes to cuddle and play wrestle.  She needs a fenced yard so she can stretch her legs or she would be okay with a daily walk for some exercise.  She cannot be with other female dogs, but she might do well with a calm male dog of similar size (40 lbs) or larger.  She cannot be around cats or other pets because she has a strong prey drive. Roma gets along with strangers and older kids.  She does not have experience being around young children - she loves pre-teen and up (age 12+).  She is house trained, leash trained and knows the basic commands.  She does have a tendency to bark at times, so she probably needs to be in a house and not an apartment.  She does not counter surf!  Roma does very well at vet and grooming appointments. Roma is reactive to people leaving or people hugging (because this is usually a sign that someone is leaving).  She's also reactive to windshield wipers!!  Once you're out of the house, she does not seem to experience separation anxiety.   Potential adopter should be aware that Roma takes regular medication: Thytoid tabs for Hypothyroidism, Optimmune drops for dry eyes and Cytopoint for allergies. The suggested adoption donation for Roma 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. 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 are only assisting 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 Second 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, 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.
