About Muppet

Muppet is a handsome black and brown pup, around 1 year old and 60 pounds, who may be an Australian Kelpie or Doberman mix. He's packed full of personality, affection, and enthusiasm for life! Muppet wants to be involved in everything you're doing and would love to spend 24/7 with his favorite people. He's affectionate, loves giving kisses, and thinks he's a lap dog despite his size. This goofy boy is still learning his manners and can get excited and jump up for attention. He enjoys an active lifestyle and would thrive with a family that can provide regular walks, hikes, playtime, and mental enrichment. Muppet loves to play in the water and would likely excel in dog sports. He absolutely loves other dogs and would enjoy having a playful canine companion. Muppet is social, playful, and takes corrections from other dogs well. He lives successfully with a cat and does well with dog-savvy felines. Muppet is mostly house-trained and continues to improve every day. He walks nicely on leash once his initial excitement wears off, has no food aggression, and willingly goes into his crate when needed. Like many young dogs, he can be mischievous if left unattended and still has a tendency to chew things he shouldn't, so supervision and appropriate chew toys are important. His foster family describes him as incredibly affectionate, eager to please, and always ready for the next adventure. He chases squirrels, barks at the lawn mower, and investigates everything with endless curiosity, but at the end of the day, all he really wants is to be near his people. Muppet isn't looking for a perfect family; he's looking for a family willing to help him continue growing into the amazing dog he's already becoming.
