rescued me from animal control. I’m keeping the volunteers on their toes with my energetic personality. Always on the move and ready for adventure, I look forward to being active with my new family. Let’s exercise together! I also got to spend some time in the prison/foster training program where I had a great time and learned a lot, too!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs in the prison/foster training program, and I was friendly with them. If you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / I met a kitty at Mostly Mutts, and we all agree that I should not live with cats. / I get excited about tennis balls and sometimes try to grab at them, so older teens (15+) may be best. I have done well changing this behavior when my trainer tells me to ‘wait’, and I hold my ‘sit’.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m an active and enthusiastic guy who is playful and ready for fun. If it’s playtime, I am all in and I see many things as toys, so I’ll toss them all around to play! I was well-mannered for my bath, so it was a breeze. I’m a people dog who greets the volunteers with unbridled joy. I’m the kind of dog that will guard my home, car and person when on walks and I have bitten over this. Mostly Mutts has put procedures in place to prevent this and one of our trainers will be happy to work with you to have a successful adoption. / My energy level is 8-10, so I am looking for an active family member to help me direct my energy with fun adventures. I also really need a fenced-in yard in my new home to be successful given my energy level for some fun playtimes with you.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I’ve mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘place’, ‘leave it’ and ‘down’ commands. I also utilize proper door etiquette. I had to work on my ball sharing manners, as I am obsessed with them. My trainer has taught me how to exchange my ball for a treat. I am also doing well with the ‘wait’ command for this behavior. / I can be a bit jumpy getting out of my kennel, as I am super excited to be with the volunteers. / My potty habits were good on the prison/foster training program schedule and at Mostly Mutts.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being with people and am enthusiastic when they come to spend time with me. I also really love tennis balls, the XL red plastic ball in the MM play yard and squeaky toys. I’m excited for mealtimes, so the volunteers have me using a slow feeder or Kong puzzle which is good for the digestion of fast eaters. The volunteers will sit with me while I eat, and I enjoy their company. As mentioned, I need a fenced-in yard in my new home, to help me work out some of the extra energy that I have with you! / I can’t think of any other dislikes besides those mentioned above, but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, EXERCISE and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m currently on an inexpensive medication to help with my hyper-focus on balls and some anxiousness at the shelter. I just get so excited when I see a ball. I’m hoping that in my forever home, where there will be lots of balls available, I can feel more relaxed about them and hopefully come off the medication in time.
I am looking for a fun-loving family who is dedicated to spending the time with me necessary to meet my energy needs! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
