About Muffin

Muffin is a delightful 2-year-old Maltese and Poodle mix weighing 15 lbs. She's spayed and ready to find her forever home. This sweet pup is a great candidate for a foster-to-adopt program, allowing you to get to know her before making a permanent commitment. Muffin is well-suited for a beginner owner, making her an excellent fit for someone looking to adopt their first dog. While she has a medium energy level, she’ll thrive with a daily 60-minute walk or some brisk exercise, alongside her potty breaks. Although she's new to our care, she likely does well in urban settings, adjusting with time. She gets along with other dogs and cats, though we will learn more about her social habits soon. While Muffin may be comfortable with children, adult supervision is essential. She's been updated on her vaccinations and is healthy. Muffin is house trained, but expect some transitional mishaps in her first week of adjusting. She's a wonderful prospect for anyone looking to bring a loving companion into their life.
