NAME: Muffin BREED: Maltese SEX: female COLOR: white AGE: est at 6-7 yrs as of July 2026 WEIGHT: 12 lbs LOCATED IN: Ft Myers SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Muffin! Muffin is a 6 to 7-year-old Maltese mix weighing 12 pounds, and this little sweetheart knows exactly what she wants out of life. Honestly, it isn't complicated. Muffin wants company. She came to Canine Castaways with Charlie, who may possibly be her son, and one thing has become very clear: Muffin does not enjoy being an only dog or being alone in general. She's happiest when she has someone nearby, whether that's another dog or, even better, a person whose lap happens to be available. Because Muffin is a lap dog through and through. Toys? She can take them or leave them. Playing? She'll let the youngsters handle that. Curling up with her person and keeping them company? Now you're speaking Muffins language. Muffin can become vocal when she's left alone in a crate, so her ideal home will be one where she has plenty of companionship. Shed especially appreciate having another friendly dog around so she doesn't have to feel like she's on her own. When it comes to grooming, Muffin seems perfectly content to be brushed. Nail trims, however, are not on her list of approved activities, so shell need someone willing to work patiently with her on that particular bit of maintenance. Muffin has just one eye, and unfortunately we don't know what happened to the other one. It doesn't seem to bother her or keep her from enjoying life. She also has a few fatty lipomas, which are benign and aren't currently causing her any problems. At this stage of life, Muffin isn't looking for nonstop entertainment or a packed social calendar. She's looking for something much better. A comfortable home. A canine companion. A favorite person. And, most importantly, a lap with her name on it. If you're looking for a sweet little companion who would much rather be with you than anywhere else, Muffin may be exactly who youve been waiting for.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
