Muffin Catahoula Leopard Dog & Terrier Mix Kansas City, KS

Date of birth: 9/2015

12/12/2019: Muffin is a beautiful Catahoula/Terrier mix with multi-colored eyes. She’s 4 years old and weighs 50 lbs. Muffin is fun and playful and she loves other dogs. She loves playing in the pool and running around the yard with toys and balls.... be sure to watch her video!

Muffin hadn’t been socialized well and was very fearful when she was brought in by her person, who was moving. It took her awhile to settle in here, but now she's very comfortable and great with all of our volunteers and staff. She loves to go for walks and loves belly rubs, stuffed toys and nylabones and car rides. She’s such a sweet girl and just a goofball!

Muffin gets along great with other dogs, and we'd really like to place her in a home with another dog to help her adjust and have a buddy to play with and to learn from. We'd ask you to make an appointment to bring your dog in to meet Muffin to see if they could be a good match.

Muffin needs a home without kids or cats. We expect an adjustment time for her to settle in, but we are confident that it won't take too long before she's as fun and loving with her family as she has become here! Her new person will just need to be patient with her and help her adjust to her new home, and new situations and environments. We'd ask you to come in a few times to spend time with Muffin before taking her home so that she gets to know you before taking her home. We would also be happy to do a foster-to-adopt situation for Muffin.

Muffin had heartworms when she arrived but has completed treatment and is heartworm free now. She's also been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She’ll be a fun companion for another dog, and a sweet and funny companion for her new person.

MORE ON ADOPTING OUR DOGS...

Please visit our web site at HSGKC.ORG for more information about our adoption process, our adoption fees and all that's included, and for a pet adoption application.

> An application is required to adopt a pet and applicants must meet our adoption requirements. We encourage you to fill out an online adoption application and submit it before you come to see us. This helps us process your application more quickly and we can schedule an appointment for you to come in so that our small staff can serve you best. If you decide you'd like to adopt one of the pets you meet, we reserve the pet for you but we generally don't send the pet home with you that day. We’ll instead schedule a pick up date and time that’s convenient for you.

> Our goal is to send you home with a healthy pet and any information and support you may need to help your new pet adjust to his or her new home. All of our dogs & puppies have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas & ticks, tested for heartworms (7 mo. and over), and are on monthly heartworm preventative. Puppies who are too young to receive all the necessary puppy boosters and/or first rabies shot may be brought back to us for those vaccines at no extra charge. You will also receive a leash, collar, coupons for pet supplies and services, toys, and educational materials. And we'll give your dog a bath before he or she goes home!

> Please note that we prefer and may require a fenced yard for many of our dogs. Exceptions are made on an individual basis depending on the dog's needs, the person's dog experience, the dog's and person's activity levels, home environment and other factors.

Thank you for searching for a shelter pet!
