Meet Muppet: Cookie Monster

Adoption Fee: $700   The Muppet puppies are a litter of 9 week old Border Collie x Poodle mixes who came from Sesame Street to find forever homes of their very own! This litter is 3 females and 3 males. They were seized from an unsafe situation at only 4 weeks old and have been raised in loving foster homes ever since. These adorable, fluffy little rascals embody the very best of the Border Collie breed and can’t wait to charm the lucky families who adopt them. We expect these puppies to reach 30-40 pounds as adults so they will be medium-sized.    Big Bird: Big Bird is Little Mr Snuggler who loves curling up in a warm nest of blankets and snoozing the day away! Of course, like any puppy, he loves getting his zoomies on and happily chases his siblings around the house, but he is the first to say “all done” and head inside for a long nap. Big Bird is less outgoing than some of his siblings, preferring to quietly meet new people and catch their vibe before he goes all in on love. But if those new people have cookies? He’s all in from the first second!  Cookie Monster: Cookie Monster, true to her name, is a smart cookie with a sweet tooth! Cookie Monster was the first of her littermates to start figuring out basic training commands and will head to her forever home with a fabulous base of skills. Cookie Monster has lovely soft fur that is a joy to pat, and she loves wriggling right into the laps of her people for affection. Cookie Monster loves tossing her toys around the house before scampering after them, and it is hilarious to watch her little legs zoom down the hallway before she crashes into her siblings.  Elmo: Elmo is the leader of our Muppets gang and he is Mr. Personality incarnate! Elmo is the first puppy to investigate new smells and toys, and sets the daily play adventures for the group. Elmo is confident, affectionate, goofy, and oh so sweet. This special boy has a love of all things soft, so he is frequently found carrying around whichever toy has caught his eye for the day. Elmo is usually on the bottom of the puppy pile, content to snuggle under the warmth of his siblings when he is ready for a nap.   Oscar the Grouch: Oscar is a rough and tumble little boy who is anything but a grouch! He loves to chase his sister around the house and run around after her toys. He loves his snacks and eagerly awaits mealtime. Oscar adores his snuggles and is more than happy to curl up in a warm lap for hours at a time when he needs a break from playing. When Oscar is ready to play again, he wants to lead the activity and adventure, charging headfirst into whichever new activity he discovers.  Oscar’s soft coat is a joy to pet! Snuffleupagus: Snuffleupagus is a stunning and lovable gal who can’t wait to meet her new family! Snuffy is a total lovebug who is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She is happy to sit in her foster family’s lap for hours as she naps but then is up and go, ready to race around and chase her siblings around the house. This loving girl is very food motivated and curious, so she will be a total joy to bring into any home. Zoe: Zoe is the sweetest and calmest puppy of the bunch, capturing the affection of all who meet her with her puppy dog eyes and cuddly body. Zoe is more of the “sit back and watch before jumping in” kind of dog, and you can see her brain work to figure out the best way to win the toys or cuddles she seeks! She loves to cuddle and will snooze hours away in the laps of her people as they work. Zoe is very smart and food motivated, so she has been working on the start of some tricks which she can’t wait to show off for her new home. Zoe is such a sweet gal who is just a total darling!    The puppies wake up with the sun and are herded outside as their puppy pen is cleaned out. They are fed breakfast around 8 AM and then spend their morning playing with their mountain of toys both inside and outside in the yard (weather permitting). Lunch is served at 1 PM followed by a puppy pile nap for a few hours after the excitement of the morning. Once they wake up from their nap, they play some more with each other, their toys, and the resident household dogs. After dinner at 6 PM, the puppies get some one-on-one snuggle and socialization time as they unwind from the day. They bundle together in their pen for bedtime and head off to dreamland!  The puppies have been very well socialized in their foster home with dogs of all ages and sizes. As Border Collie mixes, they are very smart little pups, so they would all benefit from continued socialization and training in their forever homes. They adore people and especially love when those people come bearing treats!  The Muppet puppies are only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.
