About Muffin

Muffin is not your average doodle. This sweet four-year-old dachshund-poodle mix was previously found starving on the streets but has made significant progress since then. She's gained some weight and been spayed, though she still has a bit more to go. Muffin is gentle but cautious around new faces, so she needs a patient adopter who can earn her trust over time. An ideal environment for her would include another dog to guide her and be her playmate, as she thrives with canine companionship. Muffin is house trained and has a knack for using pee pads when necessary. However, she’s a climber, agile enough to navigate chain link fences and baby gates, so a secure home is a must. She enjoys leashed walks and is well-behaved during car rides. With her curly coat, grooming will be needed to keep her looking her best. Her adoption fee is $100, and applications can be submitted at hsscottcountyin.com. Muffin is waiting for a loving home to help her continue her recovery journey.
