About Muffin

Muffin is in Scottsburg, Indiana, waiting for her forever home. This four-year-old dachshund-poodle mix isn’t your average doodle. Rescued from the streets, Muffin faced a tough start and is still on her way to full recovery, needing to gain a bit more weight. She’s sweet and affectionate but rather shy with new people, so she’ll need a bit of time and patience to feel secure. An ideal home for Muffin includes another dog who can guide her and be a playmate. She’s great in a house with no small children. Her poodle coat is curly and requires regular grooming. Muffin is housetrained and uses pee pads, does well on a leash, enjoys walks, and likes car rides. She can climb over chain link fences and baby gates, so she’ll need careful management in that area. Her adoption fee is $100, and you can submit your application at hsscottcountyin.com. Get ready to shower her with love – she’s worth the wait!
