My story

Cricket is a gentle, curious little soul still discovering the world and his place in it (born appx August 2024). He's a little sassy sometimes and loves to be the center of attention.  He’s got the heart of a puppy—open, trusting, and endlessly inquisitive. Stranger Friendly: he greets new faces with tail wags and open-hearted curiosity. Cricket has a lovely balance of active and calm. He enjoys playtime, but also loves snuggling up for quiet moments. He has been around older kids and teens and done beautifully. He’s not a fan of being alone and would flourish in a home with other pets or a stay-at-home parent. Cricket would be happiest in a home that understands his gentle nature and petite size. A family with older children (age 6+) or adults who can give him the love and attention he craves would be perfect. He’s used to big families and tends to bond quickly —but he’s not picky. If you’ve got love to give, he’ll soak it up.  The suggested adoption donation for Cricket is $450, 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.  ##2488974##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cricket, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
