her dog who has already been adopted. I’m in a wonderful foster home while I wait for my new family to adopt me. I’m a sweet boy with a medical condition called Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia, which means my immune system can mistakenly attack my platelets. Because of this, I’m on daily immunosuppressant medication and will need regular veterinary visits with and periodic bloodwork to keep my platelets in range. While I’m on the immunosuppressant I shouldn’t go out in crowded public places or be around pets who aren’t fully vaccinated yet.
· OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I liked the dog I came in with and followed his lead; I also met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and in my temp. foster home and liked them. My foster reports that I’m polite, calm and observant in a pack and thinks I would thrive with a calm, confident canine companion and likes to play a bit, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I met a nice 10-year-old who visited my foster family, and I was calm and gentle with them, so if you have respectful kids around this age, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may accidentally bump over.
· PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a calm, thoughtful, and wonderfully curious dog who likes to study the world around me - whether you’re cooking, cleaning, or even putting a bandage on a little boo-boo, I’m there quietly watching, trying to understand it all. In my foster home I choose ‘my person’ and love staying close and keeping them company. This doesn’t mean I don’t love others, I’m simply the most loyal to my special person. I’m very tuned in to my people’s routines, and I enjoy it when you talk to me and will listen as long as you keep talking. My foster works from home, so I’m the perfect office companion – never disruptive, just peacefully nearby or napping. I rarely bark, only occasionally when happy or excited. I’m sweet, gentle, quiet, affectionate, emotionally intelligent and a soft-hearted gentleman that is easy to have around - truly a JACKPOT to my adoptive family. I would be happiest with a stay or work from home family member as I wouldn’t like spending a full workday alone. / Energy level: 4-6 as I am active but not hyper and will join in play when invited and can play for quite a while.
· SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ commands and even offer a ‘paw’. I also ‘come’ when called inside and am very responsive to your voice and tone. I understand routines easily and learn new things with gentle repetition. Like most Poodles, I have the intelligence and focus to pick up training commands quickly, and I’m an excellent listener. / I don’t enjoy being crated, so when I’m left alone for short periods, (typically 2-4 hours) I relax on the cozy bench in my foster’s mudroom or on my favorite sofa spot and wait quietly for my people to come back. I haven’t chewed or gotten into anything. At nighttime, I like to sleep in my dog bed in a quiet corner of my fosters room. / My potty manners have been excellent in my foster home. They take me out on a good schedule, and also I’ll sit by the door if I need to go.
· LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy taking long peaceful walks on my foster family’s property, exploring the creek and stepping into the water. I can go on hikes now but still should not walk in crowded public areas yet due to the medication I’m on. I also like treats, visitors to my foster home, soft stuffed and squeaky toys and I’m always up for some gentle play or a little running around with my people. I like staying close to my people watching everything that goes on in the house like a little detective. More than anything, I love being included and feeling like part of whatever you’re doing. / I’m not a fan of being crated, staying outside in bad weather longer than needed, or feeling unsure of things as I am sensitive and thrive with gentle guidance. I also don’t like being hot, so no blankets are needed. I’m also a little picky with my food, and I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.
· MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I take an immunosuppressant medication called Mycophenolate and I’ll need my family to have bloodwork completed in April 2026 to see if I still need to stay on it. If your considering adding me to your family, Mostly Mutts recommends you talk with your vet.
I’m a deeply loyal dog looking for a wonderful family that will treasure me and keep up with my medical needs. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
