Patch (Courtesy Post)

My story

Patch is a Lab mix, born April 2024.  Patch is friendly with strangers, other dogs and older kids (age 6+).  He's still a young guy and enjoys being active, so he needs a fenced yard with room for him to run and get his energy out.  He gets a little stressed with a lot of construction noise and loud vehicles driving by, so ideally an area without that most of the time would be good for him. Patch is looking for a home with someone that will be home most of the time or can dedicate time to work with him on crate and potty training.  He gets a little stressed when left home and he does not like to be kenneled.  However, he needs to be crated when you're gone because he has not yet perfected his potty training.  (He is currently taking medication for anxiety and this seem to be helping.)  New adopter should be prepared to help him cross the finish line with this!!  He's still young, so he is open for all the training you have to offer!   The suggested adoption donation for Patch 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. 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.
