Ricky Pointer Mix Council Bluffs, IA

Say hello to Lucy and Ricky, a bonded duo looking for their dream place to live out their golden years! Lucy is a Australian Cattle Dog mix (born Dec 2015). Ricky is a Pointer mix (born Jan 2018).

They are timid dogs, but will be your best pals once they trust you. Lucy is Ricky's emotional support dog and he just loves to be around her. They need a home with a fenced yard and they would be okay with another canine friend in their forever home! Here are a few more fun facts:

*Good with kids *House trained

*Low energy *Quiet/don't bark much (inside or outside)

*Curious about cats, but easily redirected when they're called away (it's mostly Lucy that is curious about them)

Tthey are trained to stay off furniture so they don't even try to get on furniture

*They don't counter surf for food *They respect each other's beds and food

*They leave the trash alone and don't chew on anything that is out around the house

*They have done great with people they haven't met coming in and out of foster's house- no growls or aggressive barks (just a bark when the doorbell rang, but they went right up to the person, sniffed and then rubbed against them).

*Ricky is more timid and will watch Lucy to determine if he wants to join in something.

*Lucy likes to follow her foster mom around the house to see what she's doing, but if it's not exciting to her, she will go back to her bed and lay down.

*These two are seriously the ideal dogs! Please help us find them a home today!!

The suggested adoption donation for both Ricky and Lucy is $700. 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.

Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, 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 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.
