Meet Muppet. And yes… she really does look like she walked straight off the set of a Jim Henson production. 🎬✨
This 1 year -old Shih Tzu (maybe with a little yorkie ) currently weighs a whopping 3.5 pounds, which basically makes her a living, breathing dust bunny with legs. She’s got floppy fluffy ears, a tiny fluffy tail, and the kind of face that makes people involuntarily say “WHAT is that adorable creature?!”
But don’t let the size fool you. Muppet is spunky, happy, and ready for action. She already loves playing fetch and zooming around like a tiny puff of chaos.
Because she is so tiny, her future family needs to understand that she’s fragile. A puppy this small can easily be stepped on, sat on, or overwhelmed by rough play, so homes with very rambunctious kiddos may not be the best fit.
Muppet came to us because her previous owners were struggling with potty training, so her adopter will need to be patient and committed to helping her learn the ropes of going potty outside. She’s just a baby and needs someone willing to guide her as she grows.
Since Muppet will need regular grooming for life, adopters must also provide a groomer reference as part of the application process. Be sure to include it along with your vet reference.
Because she is still so tiny, we are looking for a LOCAL foster-to-adopt home while she grows big enough for her spay surgery. Applicants must live in Effingham County or the surrounding area.
All other pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, current on yearly vaccines, and dogs must be on heartworm prevention. Once she is spayed, the adoption will be made official.
Muppet is going to be popular… but there is only one Muppet. Please be patient with us while we work to find the perfect home for this teeny tiny fluffball. 🐾
