Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue, Inc Muddy Paws rescues/rehomes companion animals and provides a variety of community services to owners.

MISSION STATEMENT: Help animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming, as well as helping pet owners in the community, through outreach programs aimed at improving the health and happiness of their companion animals. Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue is a 501(c)3, not for profit organization, formed in 2014 by a small group of devoted animal lovers, in the Council Bluffs/Omaha area,

with many years of rescue experience wanting to make a difference in the lives of animals. Our rescue is an all-pet rescue, specializing in cats, dogs and pocket pets. Muddy Paws is all volunteer based and all of our rescue pets are living in their owner's homes or the homes of our volunteers. Our rescue is unique in that not only do we take into foster care homeless pets, but we also offer supportive services, such as education and training for owners in an attempt to keep pets in their loving homes whenever possible. In addition, we offer placement assistance to owners attempting to rehome their pets through social media sites, which can often be risky for the pets as well as the owners. Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue is forefront in spay/neuter efforts in both rural and urban communities of Nebraska and Iowa. Muddy Paws Rescue needs foster parents as well as trainers, groomers, fundraisers and transporters. We also need people to help with the data base, websites and adoption activities. If you have a passion for helping needy animals and can spare a few hours each week, we would love to talk to you!!

FOSTER FRIDAY

THIS WEEK, we have three special pups waiting for you to rewrite their next chapter.

CHEVY
DOBBY
Ellie

No matter where they came from, they all have tales to tell. Knowledge to pass on. Things to learn.

They look to us, the fosters, the adopters, for that knowledge to continue their growth process.
Make sure when you deliver that knowledge, it's always delivered with love and understanding.

Want to be a part of their story? Interested in volunteering?

28/06/2024

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

21/06/2024

As temperatures rise, it's important to keep our pets safe! Did you know dogs only have sweat glands on their paws and release heat primarily by panting?

These hot summer days make our pets vulnerable for illnesses and injuries like dehydration, heat stroke, and burns.

Types of dogs who need to take extra precautions when venturing outdoors include brachycephalic dogs (Pugs, Boston terriers, French bulldogs, English bulldogs, etc.), dogs with thick fur coats, overweight dogs, senior dogs, dogs with heart disease, and puppies.

Make sure you choose early mornings or late evenings rather than walking in the middle of the day. Check the temperature of the pavement by resting your hand for 7 seconds. If you're uncomfortable, wait to walk your pet until the pavement has cooled. In 77 degree weather, pavement can reach 125 degrees. This can burn your dogs paw pads in less than 1 minute!

Keep your pets indoors when you go out and never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle. June-August are the deadliest months for hot car deaths, all of which can be prevented!

Keep an eye out for heat stroke. Symptoms include: excessive panting, increased heart and respiratory rate, lethargy, stumbling, dark or bright red gums and tongue. If you suspect your pet has had heat stroke, take them into the vet immediately.

We want everyone to have a FUN and SAFE summer filled with happy memories with your pet!
