NICOLAS - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / POINTER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pointer / Mixed. A SWEET & SHY FELLOW: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 59 lbs. Hi there, I’m Nicolas! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my furever family. I got to spend some time in a wonderful foster home and was adopted for about 10 days, but it wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts in the prison/foster training program off-site and looking forward to learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and am learning to play with them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, 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 sweet boy who just needs a little time and patience to feel safe so I can blossom! I can be a bit timid indoors, but once I’m outside with the volunteers, I really come alive - I love to roll in the grass, play in the play yard and do my funny little army crawl! I may walk slowly at first as I think I’m new to leash walking, but I’m learning. I was a little unsure entering the Paw Spa, but I did great for my bath, even preferring to lie down while my tail wagged the whole time. I was very shut down and scared when I first went to my foster home, but my fosters were very patient with me, sometimes needing to gently carry me and show me I was safe. I opened up so much after just a week and they describe me as “sweet and gentle.” I did worry and cry out if I couldn’t see my people for too long so no condo- or apartment-style living and I would prefer a stay- or work-from-home family member, please. I’m a very strong chewer and sometimes get into things that aren’t mine – oops – so please pick up your things and give me some nice, strong chew toys and bones that I know are mine. I’m friendly, sweet, and happy – just a gentle soul looking for love. / Energy Level: 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer. / I did well at Mostly Mutts with my crate manners. In my former foster home, I didn’t go in on my own, so my foster picked me up and placed me into it. / My former adoptive family reported that my potty manners were good on their schedule and I did well in my former foster home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy soft head pets and the company of someone who will sit quietly with me. I like running, strong chew toys, snacks, exploring and playing fetch. Rolling in grass and just being outside together in general is great fun for me, so I’d likely enjoy a fenced yard and a family that will spend lots of time outdoors with me. My former adoptive family reported that I just LOVED men and seemed to attach more to one person. I’m sure we will discover even more things we enjoy doing together as I settle into my new home. / Sudden movements startle me and I don’t like being alone too much. 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 neutered. 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 wonderful family to love and be loved by. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
