About Smalls

Smalls, also known as "Miss Muffet," is a delightful, spirited senior girl weighing in at seven pounds and estimated to be around twelve years old, though her playful energy suggests she’s much younger. With her ears perked up like little airplane wings and her tongue often sticking out, she exudes charm and cuteness. This little lady thrives on human interaction and enjoys welcoming visitors. Smalls is adaptable to new situations, especially if her human companion is present. After her morning walk, she craves uninterrupted lap time and delights in watching you cook, ever-ready to chase a stuffed toy during playtime. While she may initially grumble at other dogs, she soon finds her comfort and snuggles in with them, effortlessly blending in. Currently, she knows to go outside for potty breaks but is still mastering her house training. A playpen is her cozy retreat when you need a break. She’ll do best in a home that offers a moderate pace and includes a patient adopter who can dedicate time to her routine. Smalls is well-suited for apartment living. Foster feedback states: "What I love most about Smalls is how unbelievably cute and charming she is. She is brave, adventurous, and fun!" Ready to discover the joys she'll bring into your life?
