Story
Lily is as beautiful and elegant as a flower, blossoming with love to give. She can be nervous at first and would do best in a quieter home but that doesn`t stop her from making friends with everyone she meets. Lily is sweet, playful, and eager to be your new best friend!

Story
Blossom's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted. Please visit Blossom's page on our site (https://www.muddypawsrescue.org/adoptable?dog=008588) to learn even more about Blossom! Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Blossom is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. This little lady is the definition of puppy perfection — gentle, loving, and endlessly sweet. She’s happiest curled up beside her favorite human on the couch, content with a cozy blanket, a chew toy, and all the cuddles she can get. She’s still a young pup, learning about the big world one step at a time. While she can be a little shy at first, once she feels safe and comfortable, her friendly and affectionate personality shines through. She’s been gaining confidence every day and is already making great strides with leash walking and outdoor potty breaks (though she prefers to do her business and head right back to the comfort of home right now). Blossom is a mellow girl who enjoys a good nap, a tasty bone, and simply being near her person.

Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Hi, I’m Bubbles — a sweet and gentle pup searching for my forever home filled with love, patience, and cozy vibes! While I can be shy at first, once I feel safe and comfortable, I won’t leave your side and will shower you with affection. I’m a laid-back girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life: tasty treats (especially cheese!), mealtime, and cozy naps. I’ve been doing great with potty training and basic commands — I’m a quick learner and eager to please! Right now, I’m working on gaining confidence with walks and adjusting to city life. The outside world can be a little scary and it can feel overwhelming for me. I’m currently going through some gentle exposure, where I’m slowly introduced to the sights and sounds of the outdoors in a way that feels safe and manageable. I’m taking small steps every day and making progress with the help of my foster family. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will blossom with a little patience and a lot of snuggles, I just might be the perfect pup for you!

Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org. Buttercup is a the goofiest little puppy! She makes herself very comfortable inside and will cuddle up with just about anyone who wants to love her. She has such a spunky personality and everyone loves to laugh at her funny movements. Buttercup is still getting used to all the sounds/activity of the City. When she gets overwhelmed, she does not like to walk outside and will protest. However, everyday she gets better and gets even more comfortable!
