Story
"Meet Muffin. This adorable little Yorkie girl was originally adopted from a shelter when she was around 6–7 months old. At the time, her owner was pregnant and later reached out for help caring for Muffin after the baby arrived. We came to know Muffin through that caregiver, Angelique, who ended up caring for her for nearly six months. During that time, Muffin lived with her young kids and other dogs, enjoyed daily walks, and became well established with her potty training. Muffin returned to her owner in January 2025, but Angelique stayed closely connected, hosting her for playdates and even a few overnight visits. Muffin’s owner has now made the decision to rehome her, and Angelique has stepped up to foster her once again. She reached out to our rescue to help find Muffin the loving forever home she deserves. Angelique shared this update: "Muffin is a fun, playful dog who is always ready for her next adventure. She loves playing in the yard, especially grabbing a toy and running off with it, and is always busy sniffing out new smells. She’s still learning her leash manners and does best on a short leash. At the start of a walk, she can be a bit erratic, but as she settles in, she does a much better job staying within arm’s length. She truly enjoys getting out and about and is great in the car, too. She’s likely not a great fit for a city environment, as she’s afraid of things like drains and tends to avoid them. She did well with potty training while with us, but consistency will be key as she settles back into a routine. Muffin is quick to learn, eager to please, and would do best in a home with another playful dog or with people who are excited to be her playmates. She’s an affectionate little girl who really thrives on time and connection with her people." This adorable little pup deserves more stability than she’s had and will truly blossom in a home with a flexible schedule and the consistency every dog needs. Apply today!
