Mustard.

Out little Los Angeles coyote turned Chicago hot dog.

The saddest little backstory and the biggest comeback energy.

Let’s break it down:

Mustard’s person got locked up, and this sweet boy got dumped at a Los Angeles high-intake, high volume, high kill shelter. 

He was terrified. Didn’t bark, didn’t bite, didn’t cause a scene — just curled up in his cubby and tried to disappear. And you know what happens to scared, shut-down dogs in overcrowded shelters? They get a deadline.

But Mustard wasn’t broken — just heartbroken. So we did what we do and got him OUT of there.

Now? This boy is slowly coming back to life. He’s gentle. Dog friendly. Soft like a daydream and twice as sweet. The kind of guy who doesn’t need the spotlight — just a cozy corner, a calm friend (or a few), and someone who sees how special he is.

Mustard is the king of crawl into your heart the minute you meet him. He’s the quiet, loyal, low-key companion who absolutely melts into you once he knows he’s safe. 

He’s already stealing hearts left and right — now he just needs his person.

If you’re the patient, ride-or-die type who loves a good glow-up story, Mustard’s waiting. 

Come get your boy.
