Muffin (a 7 year old Shih Tzu) was found on a wonderful web site called Petfinder.com. On this site both breeders and rescues can list dogs for sale / adoption. Muffin was turned over to a vet in Illinois shortly after her owner died. The family "didn't want to bother with her". I can't imagine doing that to a family pet.... but, that's just me!!
The vet called her friend who has run a dog rescue for 30 years, and is also a Vet Tech. We are told that Muffin was black with fleas and had Kennel Cough. They began a radical treatment for fleas, and gave her the Kennel Cough vaccine. She now has a clean bill of health. Thankfully, since she was being fostered by Vet Tech's, they gave this little girl the royal treatment. She has been groomed (cut shorter due to the fleas), given a dental cleaning, micro chipped, had a full blood panel done, a hearing and vision test. They did say that she does have some hearing loss. The GREAT thing is that she is already potty trained, and very gentle!

My parents were so excited when they were approved to adopt this little baby doll, they quickly made arrangements to drive to southern Indiana on Thursday, spend the night so they could pick Muffin up first thing Friday morning. She has the sweetest little face, and is about the same size as my little Lena.
This picture is of Karen, the lady who runs the animal rescue. My parents say she is a wonderful lady who just has a passion for placing dogs in good adoptive homes.

The long 6 hour trip to her new home.
The proud new owners of this little baby... so thrilled to have rescued this dog from who knows what. Little does Muffin know the life she is going to have with these two..... boy is she in for a TREAT!!!!!!!!!!

She seems so sweet and I cannot wait to meet her! That is one lucky puppy to be adopted into your family!
She reminds me of a cousin of mine - Waka, waka, waka....
