About Mustard PF

Mustard PF is a sweet older gentleman who enjoys life at a leisurely pace. This calm little guy is essentially a professional couch potato; give him a cozy spot to curl up in, and he’s perfectly happy. While Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, he navigates his world with confidence. His ideal environment includes a calm routine and gentle handling, as quick movements can startle him. He gets along well with other dogs, as long as they respect his need for a slower pace and some personal space. He’s pee-pad trained and will also go outside when taken out on a leash. Mustard hasn’t yet learned how to communicate when he needs to go out, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent potty schedule. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy life; he wants a soft couch, a peaceful home, and loving companionship through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX). Out of state adoption fee is $550, which includes transport to your area.
