About Muppet

Muppet is a delightful 5-year-old Shih Tzu who finds herself looking for a new foster-to-adopt home after her family situation changed. We want to ensure she finds a loving family that can provide the attention she craves. Muppet loves to snuggle, whether it's in your lap or beside you on the couch, and she enjoys brisk walks throughout the day. Though she can be a bit shy around new people, especially men, Muppet warms up quickly when approached gently. She gets along well with other small dogs but prefers human companionship and is not too interested in interacting with children or cats. Muppet is house trained and surprisingly good with her grooming habits. She's smart and responsive to commands, often reminding her owner when it's mealtime in the cutest ways, like gently tapping with her paw or nuzzling for attention. Muppet does have a bit of cherry eye, but it’s been evaluated by a vet and doesn't require treatment. She's cheerful and quirky, with a funny habit of rolling around on her side as if doing yoga! Muppet is looking for a home where her human is around often and can dedicate time to her. If you think you fit this description, please consider welcoming Muppet into your life.
