SHELLIE - HUSKY / BASSET HOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / Basset Hound / Mixed. YOUR ‘ONLY PET’ BEST FRIEND: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 30 lbs. Hi, I’m Shellie! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and I’m sure happy to be here and thankful for a second chance at living a great life! I’m ready to find my new family and have some fun as well as show them what a great companion I’ll be. I was adopted for a few days, but it wasn’t a good fit as I did not like the cat and I need to work on my food and toy possessiveness which I’m doing now with my trainer. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and do not like them so I’ll want to be your only pet. / I met a cat in a temporary home, and we learned that I should not live with cats due to my strong prey drive. (No cats were harmed in this discovery.) / There was an 11-year-old in my foster home, and I did great with them (they knew not to take things away from me), so if you have children around that age or older, that will follow the rules that work for me, let’s meet. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My former foster described me as a loving friend who gave lots of kisses and was also a bit ‘mouthy’ like a puppy! I was delightful for the Mostly Mutts photographer as I showed how much I enjoyed cuddling and being in a lap. A very sweet and lovable friend, I’m looking forward to showering my family with love! I am a bit possessive of my food, toys and anything in my mouth and there was 1 bite related to this, so I’m working on it with my trainer (see notes in the skills section). / Energy level: 6-8, so I’ll want to be active with my new family. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer! In my former foster home, I showed that I knew how to ‘sit’, ‘stop’ and the ‘down’ command. I was also working on ‘drop it’ and ‘leave it’ when I show food and anything in my mouth possessiveness. I’ll be tested on these soon and my trainer is working with me on my possessive behaviors as there was 1 bite related to this. My trainer would be happy to talk and work with you on this. Mostly Mutts recommends a trainer to continue my training after adoption. / I am described as pretty relaxed in my crate and I did well in my temp. home, too. / I did really well with my potty manners in my foster home with no accidents as well as the temp. home I was in for a few days. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love going for walks, playing with toys, cuddling and being in laps as well as getting my head and ears scratched and my tummy rubbed. I also like pawing at my people’s feet - lol. / See personality/skills section of my profile and 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 a great dog looking for a great family to love that will follow the rules that have been established to help me be successful! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
