My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Trotting around the corner in his pumpkin-print turtleneck sweater, Mullet looks like a little spiffed-up grandpa heading for Thanksgiving dinner. He also looks like a fresh-faced whippersnapper ready for the kid’s table. Even with some vision and hearing impairment, this ecru Shih Tzu comes with a youthful vibe. Fostered before his arrival at Muttville, this mellow boy revealed himself to be an affectionate snuggler who likes dogs, kind humans, and a nice patch of fresh grass for a vigorous sniff and roll. He’s an anything-goes lap dweller. Chatting, cuddling, Warriors basketball -- he feels there’s very little that can’t be enjoyed from a place of comfort. Go on! Celebrate life at a reasonable pace with this handsome love crumpet.

Here's some notes from her foster:

Mullet was only with me for a few days, but in that time I could see what a gentle, loveable guy he is. He is vision impaired and he can hear if you are close to him.
He was busy mapping out my home and quickly find the things that are most important-his food, his bed and the giver of cuddles. He has a robust appetite.
He is happy to be carried most of the time when out and about. I don't think he will need or want much exercise.

I think he would love to be someone's lap dog- cuddle buddy. I know he will bring joy to the lucky adopter who chooses him.

Additional adoption info

All of our senior mutts are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given flea/tick/dewormer medication. Regular adoptions are typically $250, and there is no adoption fee for senior adopters and Hospice adoptions, though we love donations to help pay it forward for the next mutt!
