se call 770-272-6888 1st to find out if I’m available to meet during the week. I may be a little older, but I sure don’t act like it. I’m active, curious, love to meet and greet new people and I’m sweet too! I love taking walks with my people and have improved greatly with my special walking harness, yay me! For now, I should just take nice calm walks. You see, my previous owners didn’t keep me current on Heart Worm prevention, so I have HW’s. The good news is that due to my age, the slow kill method will be best for me, which is easily done at home with a treat each month. Yum!! (Just ask for more about that if you think I’d make a nice addition to your family). I am working on doggie skills in the Mostly Mutts University training program, and I have already mastered ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, and ‘drop it’! I like car rides and can be a little like a jumping bean, so keep me secured in the car or perhaps the non-driver can sit with me and hold my leash. I’m also sweet and loving as well as a great house guest and past the age of chewing things, etc. My potty manners have been very good on the shelter schedule and I’ve been well behaved in my large crate too. If you have another dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be good friends! I’ve liked several of the other dogs I’ve met at MM’s, though not all. I got into a scuffle with another dog once when we were both off leash. I don’t recall how it started, but I’ve met several dogs since then and done well. I also shouldn't live with cats, I recently went home with a volunteer for a few days and met their kitty and we didn't get along. I barked and went after her, and she didn't like that very much. You’ll love my easygoing, gentle and loving nature as well as my get up and go for a walk spirit. I’m not a big fan of being touched when eating, as most dogs aren’t, so I may give a growl, but that’s the only thing I’ve done while at the MM facility. One of the nice volunteers has taken me home for sleepovers a few times and she has never witnessed this growling behavior, even when purposely testing me while I was eating, so it may just be brought on by the stress of the shelter and having lots of other dogs nearby while I'm eating. I’ve been kid tested with the trainer's 10-year-old son who really knows dogs and I did very well with him, though I haven’t met many kids, so I think that a home with older respectful kids will be best due to my reaction to some other dogs and possibly wanting to eat alone. Energy level: 4-6. I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, spayed and my adoption fee is $275.00.
