About Muffin

Muffin is a tiny, 12-year-old black Chihuahua with strikingly large ears and an adorable toothless smile. Her little tongue adds a special charm that just makes her even cuter.

Now safe with us, she weighs just 5 pounds and we are focused on ensuring she gains some much-needed weight. Despite everything, Muffin's spirit remains cheerful, and she clearly deserves a loving family that will treasure her for the rest of her life. She gets along well with both cats and dogs, making her a gentle companion for multi-pet households. This little lady is fostered in Bryan, Texas, and transport options are available to your nearest major city. With a heart full of love and a playful disposition, Muffin is ready for a fresh start.
