STARLIGHT - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Australian Shepherd / Mixed. A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 37 lbs. Hi, my name is Starlight! I’ve been loved since I was just a little pup, but sadly, my owner had a big life change and could no longer keep me. Even though it was hard to say goodbye, I’m so thankful that Mostly Mutts welcomed me with open arms to help me find a new wonderful home. Now I’m ready to bring my love, loyalty, and sweet spirit to a family who’s ready to love me forever! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and wasn’t quite ready to play with them, though I didn’t show any aggression. I previously lived with other dogs, so if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be friends. / I previously lived with several kitty cats in my former home and reportedly did well with them, but all cats are different so I’m not sure how I would be with another cat. / I lived with kids in my former home, too, though I don’t recall their ages. I met two boys around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and did well with them, so if you have kids around that age or older, let’s meet. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When I first arrived, I was really scared and unsure of everything, but once I had a little time to settle in, my true personality started to shine. I am still shy at first, especially around new men and in new situations, so I’ll need extra time with those, but give me that time and my curiosity, spunky spirit, and playful energy come out. I shower the volunteers I’ve gotten to know with hugs and kisses as well as cuddles and sweetness! With patience and a steady, loving home, I believe I’ll do well and will show you just how affectionate, fun, and loving I really am. All I need is someone who will give me the stability and gentle guidance I crave, and I’ll be your sweet, loyal companion. / Energy level: 6-8 so I’ll want to be active with my family. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have learned the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘place’, and ‘leave it’ commands and give my ‘paw’ too. Walking me on a shorter leash helps me not zig zag so much as I learn my leash manners. I look forward to learning even more with my trainer! Check back soon to see what I've learned. / I’m doing well in my little room at Mostly Mutts and my former owner reported that I was crate trained. / I had a few accidents when I first arrived, but I’m doing better now. My former owner also reported that I had good potty manners with them. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love spending time outside with my people sniffing all the good smells and being active with them, too. Soaking up (and giving back!) all the affection we can share is on my favorites list, too. / I can get a little unsure in new situations — especially if things move too fast or with new men — so I might growl or want to slip away, but with patience, good leadership and time, I’m learning that the world (even those funny traffic noises!) isn’t so scary after all. I got car sick when I visited the park with a volunteer, but with some practice — and maybe shorter trips at first — I hope to get more comfortable and learn to enjoy car rides. 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’m looking for a wonderful steady home with a good leader. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
