About Muppet

Muppet is an 8-10-year-old Shih Tzu full of personality and charm. He arrived at the rescue looking like his name — a fluffy, adorable little Muppet come to life. After a much-needed haircut, he's now sporting a distinguished gentleman look, but his signature fluff is coming back nicely. This sweet senior enjoys leisurely walks and has a love for car rides that might just take the cake as his favorite activity. Muppet is quite the talker too, sharing his opinions freely before curling up next to you for some cozy couch snuggles. His affectionate, funny nature injects joy into every moment. Recently neutered and fresh from a dental cleaning, he's in great shape and not on any special medications or diets. While he does get along with other dogs after proper introductions, he's not a fan of young children. Muppet is house-trained and ready to accompany you on adventures or simply keep you company. If you're seeking a lovable companion to fill your home with laughter, Muppet is eager to jump into your heart and make it his forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
