ANSLEY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Terrier / Mixed. A SWEET & GENTLE GIRL: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 58 lbs. Hello, my name is Ansley – a pretty girl with a beautiful, silky coat! I was rescued from animal control by Mostly Mutts and have been soaking up all the love and attention from the volunteers ever since. I now hear it is time to find my new family, and I am soooo excited! I’m ready to start my ‘happily ever after’ in a loving home – perhaps YOURS? I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts and although I didn’t really want to play, I was interested and didn’t show any aggression. I also did well with the 5-year-old Yorkie in my foster home, and she was fine with me taking over all her favorite places, lol. I like when dogs are mellow, so if you have a more mellow dog at home already, let’s meet! / I have not met cats are Mostly Mutts, however I paid no mind to a cat I saw on a walk with my foster. / I really liked the teenagers in my foster home, and I was just as happy to meet some younger kids (around 10 years old) at the playground. I rolled right over for belly rubs with my tail wagging the whole time, so if you have kids at home, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was initially stressed when I arrived at the shelter, but I’m doing much better now that I know I’m safe. A true people-pleaser, the volunteers who come to spend time with me describe me as ‘sweetness from head to toe’. I don’t beg when my foster is eating. I did bark a few times to alert her to unfamiliar noises I was hearing outside, and at any door bell sound, but I quieted down quickly with a firm ‘leave it’. I weaved between her legs trying to get affection from her, so it’s best I don’t live with anyone with mobility issues. My foster described me as ‘sweet and gentle’ and said I ‘wasn’t surprised by much (vacuum, etc.)’ and only cried if I was alone – I definitely love being with my people. I have a keen sense of smell and sharp hearing. I often track down scents in the yard and listen carefully whenever someone even thinks about entering my foster’s yard, lol. My foster gave me a treat puzzle, and with my excellent sniffer, I completed it in minutes. I’m super cute and super affectionate with a calm and low-key nature - I’m ready and waiting to be your new best friend. My foster also says that I am a fabulous dog and will make an amazing addition to a wonderful family! / My energy level is 5-7 – with fun short bursts of play time being my specialty. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a smart girl who knows the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘leave it’, ‘place’ and ‘come’ commands. I also walk nicely on a leash and know the fun command, ‘shake’. I look forward to learning more, so let’s have some training sessions together as my foster says that I’m very smart and can learn a lot more! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. I do not like being in a crate in my foster home and damaged a metal crate there, but have very good house manners without a crate, so I don’t really need one. I enjoy sleeping at the foot of my foster’s bed. With my foster, I’ve typically woken up around 6:30am. / I have good potty habits in my foster home on a good schedule. I also whine at the door to notify my foster that I need to go out. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Spending time with the volunteers is just the best, because I get the chance to go out and roll in the grass and on you! Then, I can give you kisses and nose nudges to request more attention – which I love! I enjoy playing with toys (sometimes performing my special squeakerectomy on them), enjoying a stuffed Kong, and getting those great belly rubs. Toss a tennis ball my way, and I'll jump up to catch it with precision! I love being outside, and have become quite fond of bird watching, perhaps we can do that together? I ride well in the car, so let’s go on some adventures! After playing, I enjoy curling up for a cozy nap on the couch. When I wake up, get ready for the cutest stretch you’ve ever seen — front paws on the couch, back paws on the floor — it's my signature move! / I’m not a fan of the busy traffic around the shelter and am much happier and more relaxed playing in the back yard. Otherwise, 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 spayed. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I’ve been experiencing some anxiety, so I’m currently taking an inexpensive anxiety medication to help with that, I may be able to be weaned off of it once I’m settled in my new home. I am looking for a great home with a loving furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
