This adorable 2 year old, 15-pound Havanese has a soft, non-shedding coat, a ridiculously cute little trot, and enough love to brighten even the toughest day.   Mustache is one of those dogs who simply makes life happier. Every morning around 7 a.m., he patiently waits for his people to wake up. He's quiet and respectful while you snooze— but the moment your feet hit the floor, the celebration begins! Expect enthusiastic tail wags, happy little hops, puppy kisses, and an excited "Let's go!" attitude that's impossible not to smile at.   A Day in the Life   Mustache starts his day with a neighborhood walk, happily trotting alongside his favorite humans. He's an excellent leash walker and makes every stroll enjoyable. Once back home, it's breakfast time, followed by another quick potty opportunity in the backyard if he was too busy exploring the world during his walk.   After breakfast, he enjoys playing with his toys before settling in for the workday. If you're working from home or simply relaxing around the house, Mustache is perfectly content curling up in his dog bed nearby. He doesn't need constant entertainment—he just wants to be close to his people. Every so often he'll wander off to investigate the kitchen, just in case someone might be preparing something delicious.   Afternoons bring another walk, dinner, and often one last evening stroll before bedtime. He's potty pad trained and has been doing very well with his house training when kept on a consistent schedule with regular potty breaks.   The Ultimate Velcro Companion   If you're looking for an independent dog who keeps to himself... Mustache isn't your guy.   If you're looking for a devoted best friend who wants to share life with you every step of the way, you've just found him.   Mustache absolutely adores his people. He loves to follow you from room to room, nap nearby, and simply be part of whatever you're doing. While he doesn't enjoy being crated, he settles after a bit and does fine when left home. Given the choice, though, he'd much rather be wherever you are.   He's wonderfully affectionate, loves to snuggle on the couch, and has a heart that's every bit as soft as his fluffy coat.   Friendly with Everyone   Mustache lives with an 11-year-old Shih Tzu and the two have become the sweetest of friends. Although Mustache occasionally has bursts of playful young-dog energy, he's incredibly gentle and kind. His foster's senior dog doesn't even seem to mind when Mustache uses him as a pillow during cuddle sessions.   He also greets other dogs politely on walks, making him an easy companion to take out and about.   Playful but Easygoing   Mustache has a lovely balance of energy. He's always happy to head out for a walk, toss around a toy, or enjoy some playtime, but he's equally content spending the afternoon snuggled beside you. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy or a couch companion, he's ready for both.     His Perfect Home   Mustache would love a home where he can enjoy plenty of companionship. He's happiest when his people are nearby and would thrive with someone who enjoys having a loyal little shadow following them through the day. In return, he'll provide endless affection, laughter, and unconditional love.   Why You'll Fall in Love   There are some dogs who simply have a gift for making people smile, and Mustache is one of them. Between his joyful greetings, adorable little trot, cuddly personality, and sweet, devoted heart, it's impossible not to fall in love.   His foster says it best: when Mustache comes trotting over to greet you, your heart simply fills with joy.   If you're looking for a fluffy best friend who will happily share every walk, every cuddle, and every moment of your day, Mustache is ready to make your house feel like home.
