Pupdate: Adopted!

Arturo is a cute chocolate colored pup who came into the shelter after being found stray. So far we have learned that he is exceedingly smart. He knows a few commands and is happy to show you in exchange for a treat. He might even be capable of opening the adoption room doors. He would be unstoppable with thumbs! On his trip to the vet, he did wonderfully in the car as well. Overall he is an easy going, happy guy who just needs a friend to love. So far he has tolerated other dogs when introduced to them in the shelter, but still seems pretty uncertain about them, so we would recommend a meet and greet if you have any other dogs. Come adopt Arturo at the Hurst Adoption Center!

FOSTER NEEDED! Can we CRASH at your house? We are orphans and in need of a foster. Just temporarily. We are drinking formula and will eat wet food soon!

They will be ready for vetting in approximately 4-6 weeks, and then will be available for adoption.

Fostering can be fun and rewarding! Please consider.

Meet Muffin! This little cutie is brave and loves adventure. She is affectionate and will easily win your heart with her charm and sweet nature!

Muffin was “owned” by a homeless man and it was obvious he could not care for her. A Good Samaritan stepped in and talked him into surrendering her. They contacted CRT and asked if we would bring her into the CRT program. We said “yes” and she has been a delight.

Muffin is a fun and playful puppy! She loves the other small dogs in her foster home. Muffin loves to run and tumble with her siblings. She also loves to race with them in the house. And she loves to explore everything in life. Muffin LOVES toys. Her favorites are squeaky toys and the crinkly toys. She is so good natured and fun!

Muffin adores her family. She is very friendly. We think she is one of the sweetest puppies we have had. She loves to cuddle and she will snuggle with you for hours. If you enjoy relaxing TV time at night, Muffin wants to climb up into your lap and cuddle! She loves to be up against you, sharing your love. Muffin sticks close to you and will follow you from room to room. Note that she can be a tripping hazard. She is also super fast, so her family will want to ensure there is a safe barrier at the front door so she does not dash out and begin to explore the neighborhood!

Muffin is about 4 months old (as of early March). She is 4.5 pounds. She will probably grow another 1-2 pounds (will be a smaller dog). Muffin has a beautiful light tan coat with black and white highlights. She has a wiry coat. We love her floppy ears. One of our CRT supporters has generously donated a DNA kit and the test results are in! Muffin is 56% pug, 14% Maltese, 10% Chihuahua, 7% Yorkie and then a lot of other breeds! We think everyone can agree that she is 100% adorable.

The ideal home for Muffin would be one with high energy. She would love to have another young dog (maybe 1-3 years) to play with. Because of her love of family and attention, she would love to live with a work-from-home family. She needs a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). She is fairly quiet, but she also has high energy. Her foster home has a human sister that Muffin enjoys playing with and snuggling with, so she should be fine with mature children 10 and older.

Muffin is very smart. She is a puppy and is learning every day. She has learned to use the Pe**ee pads in her foster home. She is great about going outside to potty and has even learned to use the doggy door in her foster home (monitored). At night, Muffin sleeps in a doggie bed inside of an ex-pen or crate. Now that her vet work is completed, we are going to begin leash training her. We are getting a harness for her and will begin to teach her how to walk on a leash.

Muffin is being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area. Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
