Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. A FUN & ENERGETIC GAL: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 35 lbs. Hi, my name’s Josie! Somehow, I wound up at animal control, and I knew it was my lucky day when Mostly Mutts came for me. At the MM shelter, I am settling in nicely and am now ready to find a family to love and be loved by, come meet me soon! I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot! I was adopted for a couple of months, but my energy level wasn’t a match for the family, so I’m back with MM looking for a family that will be active with me. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I have a hard time making doggie friends, but I’m working on it with my trainer. For now, I would like to be your only dog, please. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet, fun and friendly girl with the most adorable floppy ears and nubby tail! Playful and affectionate, I love to spend time with people. I was a bit unsure during my shelter bath, but I eventually relaxed and – by the ear and face cleaning time, I was giving sweet kisses. I am playful and energetic, so I am looking for a family member that matches my energy level for lots of fun and adventures together. / My energy level is 7-8+. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. I’m a bit hyper-focused with toys, so my trainer has taught me to exchange my toy for a treat or another toy. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, as well as in two temp. foster homes I’ve visited. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule and in my temp. foster homes, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I am super excited when I visit the play yard with the volunteers! In my temp. foster home, I loved playing in the backyard and doing zoomies! I really love toys and, as mentioned above, can be hyper-focused with them. Mealtime is a close favorite to play time, so a slow feeder suits my needs best, so I don’t get a tummy ache from eating my food at lightning speed – lol. After some playtime, let’s snuggle up and unwind together. / I don’t like bicycles passing me and I’m not a fan of the vacuum, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Otherwise, I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I’m currently on an inexpensive medication to help with my hyper-focus on toys and some anxiousness. At the shelter, I can’t have toys overnight for my safety, so I get excited when I see a toy. I’m hoping that in my forever home, where there will be lots of toys, I can feel more relaxed about them and hopefully come off the medication in time. I am looking for a fun family with whom I can make great memories! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
