Critter Details

Meet Mulan Female DOB: March 14, 2026 Weight: 4 lbs (current) small medium breed Breed: Small Terrier Mix Spayed (Fixed): Pending (age-appropriate) Vaccinated Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Mulan is a tiny puppy with a big personality and an adorable, curious spirit. She is playful, affectionate, and loves being close to her people while still exploring the world around her with puppy excitement and confidence. As a young Small Terrier mix, Mulan will likely mature into an intelligent, engaging companion with lots of personality packed into a little body. Terrier mixes are often known for being clever, lively, and deeply connected to their families. Because she is still a very young puppy, Mulan is in an important developmental stage where socialization, structure, and positive experiences will help shape her confidence and behavior as she grows. Mulan would thrive in a home prepared for: Ongoing puppy training and supervision Frequent interaction and companionship Patience, structure, and consistency A lifelong commitment to her emotional and physical well-being Puppies are a major commitment and require significant time, training, supervision, and financial responsibility as they grow. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Many rescue puppies come from uncertain beginnings and may not have had structure, socialization, or training before arriving at rescue. Even very young puppies require significant time, supervision, and guidance to learn how to properly navigate life in a home environment. Because of this, adopters should be prepared for: Potty training and accidents Teething and chewing stages Crate training and leash training Nighttime wakeups and supervision Ongoing socialization and structure The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, basic structure, and socialization, adopters must be prepared to continue training and support after adoption. Mulan will need: Positive reinforcement training Frequent potty breaks and supervision Patience and consistency Continued socialization and exposure Routine and structure as she grows Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With patience, training, and love, puppies like Mulan grow into wonderful lifelong companions. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a puppy is a major lifelong commitment that includes training, daily exercise, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life. Mulan will need: Ongoing puppy training and guidance Routine veterinary visits and vaccine boosters Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Proper nutrition and growth monitoring Daily exercise, enrichment, and companionship A safe, stable, indoor living environment Puppies require ongoing veterinary care throughout their first year, including booster vaccines, spay/neuter surgery when age-appropriate, and routine wellness monitoring. Because Mulan is currently very small, extra care should be taken to ensure her safety around larger animals, rough play, stairs, and unsafe chewing hazards. Mulan is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
