2-lb, softball-sized mammary mass hanging from my skin that nearly touched the ground. You may have seen me featured on Facebook, where I showed just how happy and resilient I am despite everything I was facing. When I arrived, I needed extensive medical care, and my bloodwork in particular was made possible thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization (see the medical section below for details).
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, and I enjoy the company and playtimes with the other dog in my foster home that’s about my size, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I’ve met the grandkids in my foster home and liked them. I’m an older girl so my foster thinks that kids 7+ would be best, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet, cuddly, go-with-the-flow kind of girl with a joyful spirit and so much love to give. I’m also friendly, gentle, happy, and I have great house manners and a tail that never stops wagging. I’m always thrilled to see you and truly just the most delightful, happy girl who can’t wait to share life (and lots of love) with someone special. I may be 11 years old, but I don’t act my age as I’m more active than you would think. / Energy level: 4-6.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: At the Mostly Mutts shelter, I was tested and knew the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘drop it’ commands and I accepted friendly strangers without jumping on them and had good leash manners, too. I haven’t practiced all of these in my foster home, since I needed surgery and recovery time, but I’m sure with a little review, I’ll show them to you, too. / I haven’t been crated in my foster home, but I sleep well in my foster’s large laundry room and nap there when they are away at work. / My potty manners have been very good in my foster home as I know to go outside.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love to chill and be loved on, enjoy nice walks, and cuddling up on the couch. Chewing on antlers and bones is a favorite pastime, and I also love rolling around in the grass soaking up the moment and hanging out as well as playing with the other nice dog in my foster home. / Car rides make me a bit nervous right now, and I tend to whine, but I’m already getting better with practice. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, gentle exercise, and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations and micro-chipped. I had several masses in my mammary chains, and they have been removed and I've now been spayed, making my risk of cancer return low, so that's good news! I take an inexpensive over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin which is good for all older dogs. I have a heart condition called ARVC which doesn’t slow me down – ask about this and you can consult your vet for ongoing cardiac care. A dental cleaning would be good, but I cannot have that due to going under anesthesia again. It is dangerous due to my heart condition, but there are several dental treatments that you could try at home that are over-the-counter.
I’m looking for a wonderful family that will take great care of me and love me for the rest of my life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
