DESCRIPTION

If you've ever wanted to know what it would be like to live with a tiny retired beauty queen who still believes she's the main character, allow us to introduce you to Mopsey Topsey. This little girl is equal parts doll, comedian, socialite, and diva. One minute she's carrying around a toy like the happiest dog on earth, the next she's giving you a look that says she's not impressed with your life choices. Mopsey has enough personality packed into her 12 lb body to entertain an entire household, and honestly, we wouldn't have her any other way.

Mopsey Topsey is approximately 8 years old, though she may be a little older, if you ask Mopsey, however, age is nothing more than a suggestion. This girl still has plenty of pep in her step, lots of opinions, and enough spunk to keep everyone around her laughing. We believe she may be a Shih Tzu mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed or age. What we can guarantee is that she's absolutely adorable and looks like a little living doll.

The best thing about Mopsey is hands down her personality. She is fun, lively, goofy, affectionate, and just the right amount of sassy. She has that special talent of making ordinary moments feel more entertaining simply because she's involved. Whether she's trotting around the house, carrying a toy, demanding attention, or making her opinions known, Mopsey keeps life interesting.

One of the things we love most about Mopsey is that she truly embraces life. She doesn't seem to know she's considered a senior. She approaches every day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a healthy dose of confidence. She's proof that getting older doesn't mean slowing down. It just means you've had more time to perfect your craft, and Mopsey has absolutely perfected the art of being adorable.

Speaking of toys, this girl loves them. Stuffy toys are her favorite and she is more than happy entertaining herself with a toy while also making sure everyone knows how much fun she's having. She's playful, silly, and genuinely seems to enjoy life. Mopsey is crate trained, potty trained, and has already mastered the basics of home life. She's well past the puppy chaos stage but still has plenty of personality and energy left to share with her future family.

Mopsey is dog friendly and has done well with dogs both her size and dogs several times larger than her. That said, Mopsey very much has her own personality and her own ideas about how social interactions should go. She may decide she wants to play one minute and then decide she's done the next. She likes being the one in charge of the social calendar and appreciates dogs that don't take life too seriously. Because of this, she'd do best with easygoing dogs that can laugh off a little diva behavior and aren't bothered by her occasionally changing her mind. She enjoys canine company but certainly doesn't need another dog in the home to be happy.

Mopsey also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!

It just means you've had more time to perfect your craft, and Mopsey has absolutely perfected the art of being adorable.

We think Mopsey would thrive with someone who appreciates a dog with character. Not a robot. Not a dog that fades into the background. A dog that makes you laugh, keeps you company, and occasionally reminds everyone that she is, in fact, the queen of the household. If you're looking for a little dog with a big personality, a playful spirit, and enough charm to completely take over your heart, Mopsey might just be your girl.

We are willing to test Mopsey Topsey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
