My story

Bear is a fun-loving, energetic English Bulldog (born 2023) who loves a good game of fetch and responds well to training—especially if snacks are involved! He’s smart, spirited, and will thrive in a structured home with firm, but loving boundaries. If left to his own devices, he may get into a bit of mischief (chewing), so he needs someone who can keep him active and engaged. Travel isn’t an issue - Bear rides great in the car. He needs continued work on leash manners. Great with men, women, and kids 10+ No apartments, please – he needs more space and fewer shared walls due to noise sensitivity and dog proximity Struggles with seasonal allergies, typically managed with Zyrtec or the occasional allergy shot.  He also takes medication for behavior support. A trusted trainer has even created a guide full of helpful tools to set Bear up for success - those resources will be shared with any interested adopter! The suggested adoption donation for Bear 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 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, 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. ##2383673##
