dash; my sibling and I were rescued from animal control — but things are looking up, and we’re feeling so grateful for this second chance. Now that we’re safe, loved, and learning what it means to be part of a family, we’re both ready to find forever homes of our very own! I’m in a great foster home learning a lot of new things, including getting used to human touch and affection!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I love my sibling and the other dogs in my foster home. I was a little shy when I first met them, but I warmed up quickly once I felt comfortable — and then I was ready to play and make friends! The 4 dogs in my foster home have been great teachers — I’ve been learning a lot from them and really enjoying their company! So, I’d love another friendly dog in my new home to continue learning from, so let’s meet. / I live with four cats in my foster home, and while I was definitely curious about them at first, I mostly just give them a sniff now and move on. I haven’t chased or bothered them and haven’t shown any negative behavior around them — just a bit of polite interest. / I haven’t met kids in my foster home or at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My foster reports that I’m a goofy, playful guy with tons of energy and a big love for toys — chewing them, tossing them, and playing with other dogs is my kind of fun! I am a little timid around people right now, especially when it comes to putting on a leash, but I’m learning and just need some TLC and patience to help me build confidence. When I try new foods, I do this silly little chattering thing with my mouth — it’s kind of my signature move, and my foster family says it’s the cutest thing ever. I’m definitely a go-go-go kind of pup and sometimes forget to slow down, but once I’ve had enough fun, I happily settle into my pen for a good rest. I’m currently not big cuddler, but perhaps that will change. / Energy level: I have lots of puppy energy at 6-8, so I’ll want to be active with my new family.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: In my foster home, we do a little training each day. I’ve mastered the ‘sit’ command and am working on ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘down’, ‘kennel’ and ‘door’ manners. I’m looking for a family that will continue my training and will teach me everything I need to know to grow up and become a wonderful adult dog – including starting to train me not to chew on you and the kids so we’ll all be happy - so get ready for some training with your new best friend. When I arrived, I was afraid of crossing thresholds, but I’ve come a long way in that area! / I’m doing well in the crate in my foster home at nighttime with minimal whining when put in there for bed. I let them know in the morning when it's time to go potty by vocalizing. / I had quite a few accidents at the Mostly Mutts shelter, but am doing better in my foster home on a good schedule. They say I’m getting closer, so I’ll want my new family to finish potty training me with positive reinforcement.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I’m very food-driven — I go crazy for peanut butter, treats and apples — and I absolutely love playing with toys and other dogs! Chew toys are the best and playing ball is fun, too! / I don’t want to be rushed into new situations or relationships as lots of things are new to me, and I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, exercise and training.
• MEDICAL: I've started my puppy shots, but you will have to finish these for me as I grow. I’m also micro-chipped and neutered.
If you’re ready for the fun and excitement of having a puppy as well as the training commitment, then let’s meet! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
