You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Muffin (AL)At just 7 weeks old (as of late April 2026), Muffin is the kind of puppy who makes you stop midsentence and say, “Oh my gosh, look at that one.” This possibly Husky/Shepherd mix has a pair of gorgeous mismatched eyes that look like they were painted by two different artists who both agreed on one thing: make her unforgettable. Muffin is happy, sweet, and adorably curious about the world. She’s great with people of all ages and gets along beautifully with other dogs — she’s the kind of pup who assumes everyone she meets is a new friend. Her personality is pure sunshine: gentle, playful, and full of that soft puppy joy that makes every day feel a little brighter. She’s young, eager to learn, and ready to grow into the wonderful dog she’s meant to be with a family who will guide her, love her, and laugh at her tiny antics. If Muffin has already stolen your heart (she tends to do that), you can apply to adopt her at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. She’s small now, but she’s destined to be someone’s big love.
