AGNES - HOUND / POINTER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Pointer / Mixed. AS SWEET AS THEY COME: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 56 lbs. Hi there, I’m Agnes! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control along with my sister Ada who is also available for adoption. I don’t recall how we ended up there, but we’re both thankful for this new chance of finding a furever home! We don’t have to be adopted together, as we are doing well in separate foster homes, but if you’re looking for 2 dogs, please consider us together. I came in heartworm positive, and with some other medical challenges that have been addressed (see the below medical section). I'll be treated for heartworms soon and I hope to be with my new family before treatment starts. I needed bloodwork before my spay surgery and I've had that thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization – they are the best! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’d really like to have another sweet dog to hang out with in my new home! Right now, I’m enjoying hanging out with the very calm 10 lb. female Chiweenie in my foster home. When she walks up to me, my tail can’t help but wag and I’ll even give a few big, wet kisses. So, if you have another low-key dog, let’s meet! / 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 super affectionate girl who loves nothing more than being with my person or people in general as I love nice people! I’ll follow you everywhere and make sure I’m close enough to touch you when we’re relaxing together. My tail is always wagging because being by your side makes me so happy! I met a neighbor of my foster and went right to him wagging my tail and was very friendly. I’m a total love bug and couch lounger who is enjoying life to the fullest in my foster home! / Energy level: 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: It seems I haven’t been taught any commands, but you can teach me some as you absolutely CAN teach an older dog new tricks! I do listen well when my foster tells me ‘no’. / I sleep well in my crate at night without issue and I seem to go to sleep after a few minutes because I’m a good girl! During the day I get to stay out of the crate as I’ve been great about not getting into anything and have just slept on the couch while my foster is working or needs to go to the office. They do camera checks and can see that I’m being so good when they are gone. / My potty habits have been very good in my foster home - when my foster is home, there have been no accidents and when they have had to go to the office one day for 8 hours, they laid out a washable pee pad and I went on it! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I just want to be loved and to spend time with my people! I’m not much of a player, but I’m happy hanging out with you at home or in the yard watching for squirrels and sometimes chewing on a bully stick for a few minutes. / I really can’t think of any dislikes, but if I don't want to do something, I’ll just plop down and become dead weight – LOL. 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 and micro-chipped. I take an inexpensive over-the-counter Cosequin joint supplement that is good for all older dogs. I had masses in my mammary chains, which have been removed, and I've been spayed, making my risk of cancer returning low, so that's good! Sadly, I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, so I'm HW positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that soon and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that with their vet. My bloodwork revealed that I should stay on a medication for my liver and my kidneys, likely for the rest of my life. 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 a wonderful girl looking for a wonderful family to love and take care of me for the rest of my life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
