Thank you for considering adopting one of CARA's Special pets! To apply read about our adoption policies here to fill out an application.

My name is Muffin, and first and foremost I am a MALE. You may have clicked on my picture because of my charming good looks, but please read my bio. I am an 8 year old Shih Tzu mix.  I am generally healthy, but please consider what adopting a senior dogs means.

I am around 13 little lbs. I have been an only dog my whole life, so I would prefer to keep it that way. I am housebroken and do okay in a crate if needed, but I am respectful of the home space so I prefer not to be in a crate. I am sweet and really goofy.

I need a firm owner, who will be direct with me when needed. You can compare me to a bit of a spoiled child hehe. If you are interested in meeting me please fill out an application to adopt! The rescue will review and then approve an application for me that is in my best interest. Afterwhich they will schedule a meeting, and I can go home if that meeting goes well!!

If you must know anything important about me, it is that if I do not want to be pressured to do something I will get very sassy!!! I need a lot of structure and a lot of boundries.

xoxo Muffin

Every animal that comes into the CARA program is here because one or more events occurred  that led to this animal needing not only a home, but a person or family to love and protect them. Each animal has been loved and cared for by a small and determined group of people who want nothing more than to know each animal is safe for the rest of his or her life. Thank you for looking to adopt!
