This tiny Tea Party pup is 100% authentic, energetic, hilarious, chaotic, adorable PUPPY. Not “mostly calm for a puppy.” Not “surprisingly mellow.” No.This girl wakes up every day ready to experience life at full volume. And honestly? We respect the commitment. Madeline is the last remaining Tea Party puppy and while her siblings have all packed their tiny suitcases and moved on to forever homes, Madeline is still here waiting for her people — preferably people who understand that puppies are basically furry toddlers with no impulse control and very strong opinions about bedtime. She is 13 weeks old. This Yorkie/Podengo mix puppy is active, curious, playful, smart, and constantly looking for her next adventure. She wants to explore everything, taste everything, investigate everything, and occasionally sprint around the house like she just remembered she has legs. This is the kind of puppy who fully embraces life. Which means: zoomies happen potty training is still a work in progress she gets excited easily she sometimes makes questionable life choices she occasionally acts like sleep is optional Basically, she is committed to the full puppy experience. And honestly? She would THRIVE in a home that embraces that energy instead of trying to turn her into a tiny stuffed animal. Madeline would be especially amazing in a home with another playful dog because this girl LOVES companionship, activity, and having someone to wrestle, chase, and zoom around with. A confident dog buddy would likely help her continue building confidence, burn energy appropriately, and teach her important dog-life skills along the way. Because when Madeline plays, she PLAYS. Tiny body.Big enthusiasm. She bounces through life like someone accidentally gave espresso to a stuffed animal. But underneath all the puppy-ness is a very sweet, affectionate little dog who truly wants connection with her people. When she settles down, she is soft, loving, and happy to snuggle nearby after a long day of making dramatic life decisions. Madeline is still learning the world. Leashes.Routines.Potty training.Settling herself.Basic manners.What is and is not a toy.Why human toes are apparently NOT for biting. All normal puppy things. And she needs adopters who are ready for the reality of raising a puppy — not just the cute photos part. Because puppies take: patience consistency structure supervision training routine realistic expectations But the payoff?You get to shape this hilarious little creature into an incredible lifelong companion. Madeline is social, expressive, entertaining, smart, and FULL of personality. She is the kind of puppy who keeps life interesting and keeps her humans laughing daily. She would do best in a home that: understands puppy behavior has time for training and structure enjoys active, playful dogs can give her appropriate outlets for energy deally has another playful dog This girl is not looking for perfection. She is looking for someone who says:“Yes, puppies are work... and we are fully in.” And honestly?For the right home, Madeline is going to be an absolute blast. Because one day this tiny whirlwind of chaos and zoomies is going to grow into that once-in-a-lifetime dog people talk about for years. Right now she just happens to also think cardboard, shoelaces, and dirt are excellent hobbies.
