About Muffin

Muffin isn’t your typical doodle; she’s a sweet four-year-old dachshund-poodle mix. Rescued from a tough situation, she’s gaining health and weight after being found starving on the streets. While she’s come a long way, Muffin still needs a bit more time to feel comfortable with new people, requiring a patient adopter who can build her trust. This charming little girl does best in a home with another dog to guide her and be her companion. Due to her cautious nature, she’s not suited for homes with small children. Muffin is house trained and uses pee pads. Her curly coat needs regular grooming, and she loves walks and car rides. She can scale a chain-link fence or baby gate, so secure fencing is a must. Currently, Muffin's adoption fee is $100. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
