If you’ve ever wished for a living, breathing, tail-wagging version of your favorite childhood Muppet, look no further—this little guy is ready to bring comedy, cuddles, and chaos (the fun kind!) straight into your life. At just 10 pounds and around 1-2 years old, Muppet is a perfectly portable, non-shedding Shih Tzu-Poodle mix—great for allergy sufferers or anyone who simply prefers their furniture fur-free. With his scruffy, expressive face and a personality that will make you say, “Awww” at least 37 times a day, he’s the perfect mix of adorable and hilarious. A Day in the Life of Muppet Muppet starts his day like any A-list celebrity: with a dramatic wake-up routine. He stretches, shakes off sleep, and immediately demands attention in the form of cuddles—bonus points if you let him burrow under the covers like a tiny mole. After breakfast (accompanied by a side of pumpkin for optimal poop performance), he embarks on his morning walk, greeting every dog, neighbor, and passing leaf like a long-lost friend. He’s working on his leash skills, but sometimes the world is just too exciting to resist a little pulling. During the day, Muppet has his own VIP lounge (a cozy pen in the living room) where he naps, chews his toys, and contemplates his place in the universe. He loves knowing his humans are nearby and is learning that alone time isn’t the end of the world—especially when accompanied by classical music and his canine foster brother, Oliver, the wise, chill mentor he never knew he needed. Afternoons are for another walk, some backyard supervising (he takes his gardening assistant duties very seriously), and then dinner, followed by more cuddles, possibly some comedy antics, and a final nighttime stroll before he tucks himself in—usually right next to you, under the covers, where he sleeps like a perfect little angel. Personality: A Velcro Dog with a Floppy, Lovable Soul When Muppet first arrived, he was a bit of a nervous wreck—crying, licking, and spinning in confused little circles. But now? He’s found his groove. He’s a snuggle enthusiast, a professional lap-warmer, and a cuddle contortionist who can squeeze himself into the tiniest spaces to be as close to you as possible. If you’re looking for a dog who will follow you from room to room and gaze at you with undying devotion, he’s your guy. That said, Muppet isn’t just about the snuggles—he’s got a playful, goofy side too. He loves his walks, adores other dogs, and is determined to figure out how cats work (his current strategy: invite them to play and hope for the best). He’s smart, eager to learn, and already picking up commands—especially when treats are involved. The Ideal Home for Muppet Muppet would thrive in a home with another dog who can be his anchor and show him the ropes, but he could also be an only dog—as long as his person is around a lot. He’s a social butterfly who doesn’t love being alone for long periods, but his foster family is helping him build confidence and independence. He’d do best with someone who enjoys bringing their dog along for the ride—he’s portable, polite, and would 100% be the type of dog who rides in a bike basket or peeks adorably out of a tote bag. Why You Need Muppet in Your Life Muppet is the total package: adorable, affectionate, funny, and just the right amount of quirky. He’ll make you laugh with his silly antics, melt your heart with his snuggles, and keep your lap warm through all seasons. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you unconditionally, fill your days with joy, and possibly try to befriend your cat—Muppet is waiting to meet you!
