ontrol, so I’m getting a second chance at a happy life. I needed bloodwork and a good dental cleaning when I arrived and I've had those now, thanks to a generous grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization! I’m loving life in my wonderful foster home and looking forward to finding my new furever family to love!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along great with the other dogs in my foster home. I’m pretty chill and mostly do my own thing, but I don’t mind sniffing, sharing a bed, or even sometimes snuggling up with them. At times, I’m a little blissfully unaware and might step over a dog on my way to food or people (my two favorite things!), but overall, I’m easygoing and happy around canine friends, so if you have a dog, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, but my foster thinks I’d do well with them as long as they are gentle with me. So, let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m told I have the most precious personality, and I heard my foster says that “I’m one of the sweetest and easiest fosters they have ever had.” I like that and think it’s true as nothing makes me happier than being a true lap dog. My absolute favorite thing is to cuddle as close as possible — whether that means scooting right up against your leg, climbing into your lap, or even snuggling next to your head if you’re lying down! I also love to give kisses, and since I don’t have any front teeth, my tongue is always out, ready to share my affection. I may be small and snuggly, but I still have some pep in my step — especially when food is involved — and I’ll show off my cute little trot when coming back inside after potty time. / Energy level: 2-4.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know how to ‘sit’ and am very food and love motivated so perhaps you can teach this old girl some new tricks. / I’m not a fan of the crate and will whine for long periods of time and not settle, so no crates for me please. Instead, I do well in a cozy pen with an open top on the main level of my fosters’ home with plenty of blankets to burrow in, and I sleep there quietly until morning. I also stay in my pen when they leave the house, though I could probably be trusted out as long as food is put away since I’m curious, but not a chewer. Another option is letting me sleep with you which makes me very happy! My fosters have little stairs by the bed (and couch) so I can climb up which I love. / I do very well with my potty manners in my foster home on a frequent take-out schedule. I don’t always tell you when I need to go, instead I pace in circles on a rug as my signal. So, when you see me doing that, just call me and I’ll happily head outside with you. If not, I may have an accident on the rug.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being around people and will follow you everywhere around the house and then nap next to you. I also love being petted, giving kisses, napping and just being a sweet little dog! I think about food a bit too much and will come over if I hear a bag rustle or food being prepared. I must have been fed table food in my former home which is likely why I need to lose a little weight. I’m smart and will remember where you put down your food or snacks and then go looking in those areas later, but please don’t give in and let me have people’s food. / I don’t like kibble (see below) or not being able to be next to you and I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. My teeth were concerning so as mentioned, I had a dental cleaning thanks to the Grey Muzzle Organization, and unfortunately only have one back tooth left – but that doesn’t bother me at all. My foster just soaks my kibble overnight in no salt broth and I eat it up just fine. I’m on an over-the-counter Cosequin joint supplement which is good for all older dogs like me.
I’m a precious little pup looking for a family that will treasure me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
