Muffin

🐾💕 Hi, I’m Muffin, and I’m looking for a very special family! 💕

I’m just 11 months old, weigh a little under 50 pounds, and have had a pretty rough start to life. Before MLRR rescued me, I spent a long time in a shelter after coming from some pretty terrible conditions. I didn't have many reasons to trust people, but that's starting to change! ❤️

I've been in my foster home for two weeks now, and I've learned something pretty amazing: there are humans in this world who won't hurt me! My foster mom started winning me over after about three days, but it took closer to two weeks for me to really trust my foster dad. New people are still very scary, and sometimes I get nervous even in my own home. When that happens, I like having my own quiet space (the guest bedroom!) where I can feel safe.

But here's the best part: Once you're in my circle, I'm an incredibly sweet, loving little shadow! I adore kisses, pets, and being close to my people. Walks are my absolute FAVORITE, and I love going for car rides, too!

My foster siblings have been a huge help. I love playing with the younger one and following the older one around for guidance. Having another confident dog in my forever home would be wonderful for me!

So, what does my unicorn family look like? 🦄

I need patient people who understand that trust takes time. It might take me several days (or longer!) before I'm ready for pets and affection, and that's okay. I'd do best in a quieter home without lots of commotion. Because sudden movements and unfamiliar people still frighten me, a home without young children would likely be the best fit. A friendly, confident dog to show me the ropes would be a big bonus!

MLRR knows finding my unicorn family might take time, and they're not rushing me. They're even working with a master trainer to help me build confidence and learn that the world isn't such a scary place.

I'm still just a puppy, with my whole life ahead of me. My foster family already sees how much love I have to give, and they believe that with time, patience, and the right family, my world is going to get so much bigger. 💕

I don't need a perfect family. I just need one willing to let me learn that I'm safe, at my own pace. ❤️🐾
