About Mustard PF

Mustard PF is a sweet older gentleman who approaches life at a leisurely pace. This calm little guy is a professional couch potato—just give him a comfy spot, and he’s all set to enjoy some downtime. Due to his visual impairment, Mustard requires daily eye drops for dry eye, but he navigates his surroundings well and finds joy in the little things. He thrives on a consistent routine with gentle handling, as quick movements can make him a bit anxious. He gets along well with other dogs, particularly when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will go outside when taken on a leash, although he hasn't learned to signal when he needs to go just yet, so consistent bathroom breaks are essential. Mustard isn’t searching for an active lifestyle; he desires a doting family, a cozy couch, and a tranquil home. If you can provide love and comfort during his golden years, he's patiently waiting for you. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX), and out-of-state adoption fee is $550, which includes transportation to your area.
