STANLEY - CHIHUAHUA / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed. A SWEET LITTLE GUY: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 15 lbs. Hi, I’m Stanley! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control heartworm positive and pretty sick at the time — no worries though as the wonderful folks here made sure I got the good care I needed and I’m feeling good again. I’ve received my heartworm treatment and am in my rest period now and I hope to find my family during this time. I’m dreaming about the day I can head home with my very own family! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and didn’t play or show any aggression with them. I met 2 dogs when I had a spend the night with a volunteer and I coexisted nicely as well as played with them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / I met 2 dog-friendly kitties in the home I visited, and I wanted to play with them. / When I spent the night with a nice volunteer, I did well with the teenagers in the home. So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a very sweet, friendly little guy who loves to spread joy wherever I go! Playtime is one of my favorite times, and I can’t help but show off my signature happy dance when I’m excited — it’s sure to make you smile. I was a total charmer during my photo session, happily posing and showing off my fun-loving personality. I’m also a bit of an escape artist — if a door is open even for a second, I may try to dash out — so my forever family will need to keep me safe with secure doors, a collar, and close supervision. With my affectionate nature and playful spirit, I’m ready to bring a whole lot of love and laughter into my forever home. / Energy level: 4-6, sometimes a little higher, and I should stay on the calmer side until I’ve finished my heart worm treatment recovery period. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’, ‘drop it’ and ‘place’ commands as well as how to utilize proper door etiquette and proper leash walking. I also ride well in the car so you can take me places. / I slept in my crate in my foster home, I hop right in when my foster points and says “get in your crate” (sometimes even without a treat, though a snack helps if I’m feeling stubborn), I sleep there at night, and while I might bark a little at first, I settle down quickly. / I’m still working on my potty training and will need some guidance, but I keep my crate clean and have a predictable schedule, so once you learn my routine, it’s easy to know when to take me out. I pottied outside in the home I visited, though I did try to mark a few times. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love spending time with people, playing with toys, and treats! I love to bask in the sun and go for walks. I’m sure we’ll discover even more fun things to enjoy together! / I can’t think of any dislikes, but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. As stated above, I’m heartworm positive. Thankfully, I have been treated for it and am in my rest and recovery period now, which will conclude mid-October. I will have my heartworm re-check in March 2026. 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’m looking for a great family to love and be loved by and that will see me through my heartworm treatments. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
