Meet Mystic – The Little Superhero with a Big Personality!
 
Mystic is a 2-3 year old, 17-pound Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix with a soft, non-shedding coat—great for those with allergies! When he was rescued from the shelter, his coat was a tangled mess, but after a spa day with the groomer, he’s feeling (and looking) like a brand-new pup. Mystic is full of charm, personality, and one signature move that steals hearts—his begging dance! Whether he’s asking for treats, belly rubs, or a walk, he’ll sit up on his hind legs and “pray” with his front paws like the little performer he is. Check out his video—you won’t be able to resist!
Mystic’s Daily Routine
Morning: Sleeps in until his humans wake up, then enjoys a 15-minute walk to start the day.
Afternoon: A 20-minute lunchtime stroll, followed by some lounging and people-watching.
Evening: Another walk around the neighborhood before dinner at 5 PM (though he’s a bit of a picky eater—probably had a taste of the good life with human food before!).
Night: Mystic is a night owl! He’s happy to stay up late with his person, keeping them company until bedtime.
Why Mystic is Out of This World
The Ultimate Sidekick – He loves staying within sight of his favorite human, whether curled up nearby or trotting alongside on a walk.
A True Lovebug – Scratch his ears or rub his belly, and he’ll completely melt, rolling over and waving his paws for more.
Always Ready for an Adventure – Mystic loves walks, keeps a great pace, and even enjoys a short jog!
Hilarious and Endearing – His begging dance is his go-to trick, and it never fails to get a laugh (or a treat).
Homebody with a Playful Side – He’s content chilling at home but also enjoys backyard time or a fun outing.
The Perfect Home for Mystic
Mystic is happiest with his person and isn’t the type of dog who wants to meet every stranger, but once you’re in his circle, he’s your biggest fan. He can coexist with other dogs but would also thrive as someone’s one and only pup, soaking up all the love and attention. Slow introductions with new people and dogs are best, and he’ll do well in a home that understands his need for patience and consistency. He’s still working on house training and commands, but he’s a smart little guy who’s eager to learn!
