HAMPTON - TERRIER / CORGI / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Corgi / Mixed. A FUN, BUSY & CURIOUS FELLOW: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 31 lbs. Hi, my name is Hampton! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am excited to be part of the Mostly Mutts family. They sure are taking great care of me while I wait for my new family to find me. As much as I love the volunteers, I yearn for a family of my very own, that I can have fun with and be active with! I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts as well as in the prison/foster training program, and liked them, but I do guard my food, so food and treats should be handled separately. / Cats unknown, but make sure food is not in play. / I met some nice kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and did well with them, without any food or toys around. Older children 15+ who understand my need for space when I am eating would be the best fit in my new home and – of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a curious and playful guy who has a very lively personality! As affectionate as I am handsome, I have energy to spare and a big heart to share. I’m ready to go when I see the volunteers heading my way. I was calm for my shelter bath, but toweling off meant playtime with the towel – lol. So much fun energy! Happy and friendly, I’m ready to be your loyal and active companion! / My energy level is 6-8, so let’s have lots of exciting adventures together! • 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’ve made great progress with my trainer in the prison/foster program on my food guarding and even learned to trade a toy for a treat, but it’s still something to be mindful of — so please ask for more details. I may show some guarding behaviors in a home setting — for example, I guarded the stairs in my temp. foster home — but my trainer will be happy to share tips to support my continued progress with guarding. I can be playfully mouthy, and once when it was very loud and busy at the shelter, I got a bit riled up and made contact with my walker. My trainer can show you how to help with that. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule as well as in a temp. foster home I visited, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love going for long hikes with the volunteers and love the car rides on the way! I also like toys — squeaky, bouncy, fluffy, you name it, I like them. Belly rubs? Don’t even get me started … they’re my favorite, and I’ll flop right over to show you where to start. I’m always ready for action, whether it’s a game of fetch, a walk, or just running off energy with you in the yard and then sitting in the shade. Life’s a blast, and I’m here to make every moment fun! / As stated, I do NOT like anyone touching my food during mealtimes, so a bit of privacy while I’m dining, please. ‘Party of one’. Otherwise, I’m sure I would not be happy if I did not get enough love, attention, exercise and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I am looking for a loving home where I will be a cherished member of the family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
