About Splinter

Splinter is an adorable little guy, full of personality at only 8 weeks old. Weighing just under 4 pounds, he’s both fragile and playful. Because of his young age, he needs a home with kids who are at least 8 years old and familiar with small dogs, ensuring a safe and happy environment for him. As he adjusts to his foster home, updates will come as he settles in. Training is a must for all dogs, and Splinter will thrive with guidance and love from his new family. Though we can't guarantee his breed or size when fully grown, he already shows the promise of being a delightful companion. Magnificent Mutts is a foster home-based rescue, and all meet-and-greets require an appointment with the entire family. Be sure that your current pets are up to date with their vetting, and receive approval from your landlord or HOA before inviting Splinter into your family.
