About Mustard PF

Mustard PF is a sweet senior dog who enjoys life at a leisurely pace. This calm Shih Tzu mixes lounging and companionship like a pro. He loves curling up on a cozy couch, where he feels safest and happiest. As a visually impaired dog, Mustard requires daily eye drops to manage dry eye, but that doesn't hold him back. He thrives in a gentle environment where he can take his time. Quick movements can unsettle him, so a serene routine is ideal. Good with dogs and cats, Mustard appreciates friends who respect his need for space and a slower lifestyle. He is pee-pad trained and can go outside when leashed, although he hasn't learned how to signal when he needs to go yet, so a consistent routine will help. Mustard is not seeking an active life; instead, he desires a tranquil home filled with love as he enjoys his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX). Out-of-state adoption fee is $550, which includes transportation to your area. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
