About Mugsy

Meet Mugsy! This charming 8-year-old, 8.4-pound little gentleman has a captivating underbite and a big personality, ready to shower you with love. He resembles a blend of Yorkie-Poo and Maltipoo, combining the best features of both breeds. Neutered, fully vetted, and up-to-date on all vaccinations, Mugsy sports a long, non-shedding coat that will require regular grooming to keep it looking its best. Having been with his foster family for 45 days, Mugsy is fully potty trained and walks elegantly on a leash with a harness. He has a knack for learning commands and absolutely adores meeting new people. Discovering toys, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch are some of his favorite pastimes. Crates are not for him; he thrives with gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and a calm voice. Mugsy seeks a tranquil, loving home without cats or young children, ideally with another small dog for companionship. Someone who is home most of the day would be a perfect fit for him. While he is playful and affectionate, Mugsy will need time to bond. This little guy is enthusiastic about new connections but may feel nervous adjusting to a new environment. Give him a week or so to find his comfort zone, and you'll see his full personality unfold. Mugsy is ready to become a cherished member of your home.
