About Muffin

Muffin is pure sweetness and is currently looking for a foster or forever home. This adorable shepherd/hound mix is about 12 weeks old and weighs approximately 12.5 pounds. She embodies the energetic spirit typical of puppies, making her a great companion for families. Puppies like Muffin thrive on socialization and will generally get along well with dogs, cats, and kids, given the right amount of patience and training. Living at a South Carolina shelter, she dreams of a home in the DC area. Potential adopters should know that puppies under six months need regular potty breaks and plenty of exercise. If you have a standard 8-hour workday, please be prepared to make adjustments to meet Muffin's needs. She's eager to explore the world alongside humans, engage in fun romps, make new dog friends, and attend obedience school to become the best companion she can be. She's had her age-appropriate vaccinations, but it's important for her new owner to keep up with her additional vet visits until she's fully vaccinated. Muffin has not yet been spayed, but her adopter will need to ensure this is done by January 15, 2027. To adopt, the fee includes routine veterinary care and transport from the shelter. If you're ready to bring joy to Muffin's life, apply today!
