*Muffin*'s Story

Hi, I'm Muffin, a 12-year-old Shih Tzu weighing a petite 10 pounds and proudly specializing in the art of being adorable.<br/><br/>I'm calm, cuddly, and happiest when I'm curled up in someone's lap. I've reached the age where I believe every seat is a recliner and every human is a potential pillow.<br/><br/>I may be a senior lady, but I still have plenty of personality. I enjoy relaxing, getting attention, and reminding everyone that I am, in fact, the most important member of the household.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet little companion who would happily spend her days snuggled beside you, I'm your girl. I don't need much-just a comfy lap, some love, and maybe a snack or two. I've earned it.<br/><br/>*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program<br/>*Qualifies for Senior to Senior program<br/><br/>Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Black Weight: 10.5lbs Age: 12yrs 0mths 1wks Animal has been Spayed

I'm calm, cuddly, and happiest when I'm curled up in someone's lap. I've reached the age where I believe every seat is a recliner and every human is a potential pillow.

I may be a senior lady, but I still have plenty of personality. I enjoy relaxing, getting attention, and reminding everyone that I am, in fact, the most important member of the household.

If you're looking for a sweet little companion who would happily spend her days snuggled beside you, I'm your girl. I don't need much-just a comfy lap, some love, and maybe a snack or two. I've earned it.

Salt Lake County Animal Services's Adoption Policy
Interested In Adopting? Adopting an animal is gaining a family member for the life of that pet. This can be a commitment of up to 20 years for a puppy or kitten! Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned. These animals have been rescued by Animal Services Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner. Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for at least five days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will become available for adoption. Adoptions are offered during our operating hours Monday through Saturday. Potential adopters should plan for some time to meet with their new pet before starting the adoption process. Please email adoptions@slco.org for an adoption appointment. We want to make the best match possible for you and your potential new pet. Consider the following questions when searching: •Do you live in an apartment/condo or a home? Do you have a fenced yard to exercise a pet? •Do you have other animals? If you currently have a dog (or dogs) you will need to bring them to meet their potential new canine friend. •Do you or anyone in your household have allergies to pets? •What is your lifestyle like? Are you more of a couch potato or very active? •If adopting a puppy or kitten, are you prepared for the extra work? •What is your family structure? Do you have kids or plan on having kids around? •Do you want a pet that follows you everywhere or is more of an independent companion?
