Meet Muffin
Muffin is a beautiful young hound mix born in the summer of 2024 and has been at Dogs and Cats Forever since December 2025. He is a striking boy with a gorgeous reddish coat and an expressive, soulful look. When Muffin first arrived, he was shy and a bit skittish in his new surroundings, but as he has settled in, he has slowly begun to come out of his shell and show more of his wonderful personality each day. He enjoys his yard time, loves to sniff and explore, and is starting to discover the fun of playing with toys. On walks, Muffin is curious and engaged, and when his nose finds something interesting, he can be a strong walker. He would do best with active people who enjoy long walks and spending time outdoors exploring, running, and sniffing together. Muffin is especially funny when he runs with his ears flopping, and he is sure to bring smiles and laughter to the lucky home that welcomes him.
Zelda and Xena are our tiny peanuts, full of sweetness and curiosity. They are currently in a loving foster home, and will be ready for adoption in mid-December. If you’re interested in meeting these adorable girls, please contact the shelter to arrange a meet and greet.
A gentle reminder: puppies are not Christmas presents. Bringing a puppy into your home should be a thoughtful, family-wide decision. These little ones will grow into big, beautiful dogs who will need time, love, training, and patience to become the wonderful companions we know they can be.
Come meet Zelda and Xena, and see if one of them is the perfect match for your family ❤️
