Meet Puppy Muffin!
Muffin is a 4 month old female herding breed mix (best guess).
Here's what foster mom has to say about Muffin:
Little Muffin girl is doing awesome! She sleeps through the night if she can sleep next to you. She has a little bit of totally normal anxiety and whining when I leave the room but it’s already getting shorter with some practice (everything is still new after weeks waiting at the shelter. She met my two pups on a little play date in the backyard and they’re doing just fine! She wants to play with the cats and is learning how to be gentle with the kitten. She loves my kiddos (6 and 8 years old) and hopped right up to get the treats they had and gave them kisses. She is a dream puppy honestly, what a little superstar in a new environment! She’s been glued to my side all the workday and hopped right into bed last night and cuddled all night long - she’s a perfect little velcro baby for someone who wants a total love bug!
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
