A dog with a “mustache” that has him looking like Salvador Dali has become a viral sensation after going up for adoption in Texas.

The five week-old dog, who has been nicknamed Salvador Dolly, was rescued from the streets last month and has earned legions of fans online. The dog, who is currently living in a Dallas foster home with her 10 siblings and mother, has a white body with black ears and tail spot. Best of all, she has a hilarious “mustache” shaped marking on her top lip.

Dali himself, who was known for being an eccentric artist, wore the mustache all his life until his death in 1989.

“Moustache Puppy is absolutely adorable and we’re so happy we were able to rescue her and her family,” said Allison Seelig, VP of Marketing at Hearts & Bones Rescue. “It’s puppy season in Dallas right now and there are always multiple moms with litters at the shelter. We try to get as many out as we can because neither moms nor their babies are available for adoption while they’re nursing, and the risk of young puppies getting sick in the shelter environment is very high.”

“Our mama and her 11 babies were found as strays and lived in the shelter in Dallas for over two weeks,” she added. “We went to meet them last week and were able to find an incredible foster in Dallas who was willing to take the entire family in! The whole family is now relaxing in a comfy and safe home and getting medical care and monitoring until the puppies are old enough to be weaned. We’ll be sending the whole family to NYC for adoption in late August/early September, where they’ll go into foster homes until they find their forever families!”

We hope that Salvador Dolly soon finds the loving forever home that she deserves!
