Twinkle's Story

THE FOLLOWING PET IS FOSTERED IN TEXAS BUT AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT!!! Details below Meet Twinkle! Twinkle is the little star of the group — bright, playful, and always ready to stir up fun. She loves wrestling with her sisters, exploring new things, and bouncing from one toy to the next before settling in for affection. Her lively spirit gives her a twinkle all her own. She comes from a difficult beginning. Born to a homeless woman and losing three siblings early on, she and her remaining sisters were surrendered to an independent rescuer who stepped in to save them. With mom being a 20-pound mixed breed and dad unknown, Twinkle is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. Like all young puppies, Twinkle will need continued training, consistency, patience, and socialization as she grows. She has a fun, bold spirit, making her a great candidate for families ready to offer structure and teach good puppy manners. Clear boundaries, regular routines, and lots of positive reinforcement will help her become a happy, well-mannered adult. She was born in October 2025 and is fostered in Texas. OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN TEXAS OR PENNSYLVANIA BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE. Read below for more information. All of our dogs are located in a foster home in Texas or Pennsylvania. Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport. As a Mutts N Such direct adoption, the adoption interview/meet and greet occurs on video call (Skype, FB Messenger call, Facetime, etc). Our out of state adoption fee is $350 plus transport (varies by location). This fee includes all current vaccinations, deworming, a registered microchip, fecal analysis, spay/neuter for pets 6 months & older, and a heartworm test if over 6 months old. All dogs will be current on flea/heartworm prevention. A health exam will be completed and a certificate issued by a veterinarian within 10 days.

Mutts N Such Rescue's Adoption Policy

The initial phase of our adoption protocol involves prospective adopters completing an adoption application. Following submission, our administrative team conducts a thorough review, and if approved, the application is then forwarded to the animal's foster. Subsequently, a phone interview is scheduled to address follow-up queries, provide additional information about the pet, and acquaint the adopter with our organization. If the interview is successful, arrangements are made for a meet and greet, along with a home visit. For pets adopted out of state, the meet and greet and home visit are conducted virtually. The final steps in our adoption process include verification of identification, finalization of the adoption contract, and payment of the adoption fee.
