Oh, darling! Let me introduce you to the fabulous Muffin! 🎉 This little gem of a girl arrived in our hearts during the second week of July, and let me tell you, her transformation has been nothing short of miraculous! 💖 Initially, Muffin was the epitome of a tough cookie—angry and defensive, her heart almost as guarded as a knight in shining armor! She was hurt physically and emotionally, which made her push everyone away. Who wouldn't, right? 😢 But over the past couple of months, she has turned that frown upside down! Picture this: Muffin, a sassy Papillon-Chihuahua mix around 3 years old and weighing in at a spirited 13 pounds! She’s like the superhero with a past—rescue after rescue, surrendered and then brought back into the fold until she found her way to us. Now, her past is just that—a past—and she is ready to embrace the future! 🌈 Muffin's personality is blossoming beautifully, day by day, and it’s a joy to witness. She’s gone from being a little bulldozer of emotions to a little coach in group play! How amazing is that? 🏅 She's learning to interact more and even occasionally initiates play like the confident little referee she is! But make no mistake, she still requires a strong, balanced home that understands and allows her to heal at her own pace. This intelligent girl thrives with structure and the right amounts of discipline mixed with love. But let’s be real: children might not be her cup of tea, as they can be a bit too much for her sensitive soul. 🍼 So a home without kiddies will be ideal! Muffin is friendly with dogs, cats, and, surprisingly, even bunnies! 🐶🐱🐰 Plus, she’s quite the travel enthusiast who loves those car rides! Now, let’s talk about her quirks! She CAN dig holes like nobody’s business and enjoy rolling in dirt and mud, which she considers a spa day! 🏖️ Muffin has medium-low energy; although she won’t snuggle up like a teddy bear, she’s perfectly fine sitting next to you and soaking up the love from afar. And did I mention she’s food-motivated? Treats are her love language, darling! 🍗❤️ Ready to welcome this brave little spirit into your home? Keep in mind she is house and crate-trained and has basic obedience down pat! 🔑 While she may need some ongoing training, think of it as an opportunity for mutual growth! Now, let’s talk logistics: her adoption process is thorough and designed for her wellness, so be prepared for at least a couple of meet-and-greets! Out-of-state adopters are welcome, but remember: she won't be shipped! 🗺️ You must apply through the Buddy App to give this loving girl the forever home she so richly deserves! Join the Muffin fan club and help her reach her full potential! 🌟
