Description:
A SWEET & GENTLE GIRL: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 36 lbs. Hello, my name is Ansley – a pretty girl with a beautiful, silky coat! I was rescued from animal control by Mostly Mutts and have been soaking up all the love and attention from the volunteers ever since. I now hear it is time to find my new family, and I am soooo excited! I’m ready to start my ‘happily ever after’ in a loving home – perhaps YOURS? I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts and although I didn’t really want to play, I was interested and didn’t show any aggression. I also did well with the 5-year-old Yorkie in my foster home, and she was fine with me taking over all her favorite places, lol. I like when dogs are mellow, so if you have a more mellow dog at home already, let’s meet! / I have not met cats are Mostly Mutts, however I paid no mind to a cat I saw on a walk with my foster. / I really liked the teenagers in my foster home and may do well with kids a bit younger than that, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was initially pretty stressed when I arrived at the shelter, but I’m doing much better now that I know I’m safe. A true people-pleaser, the volunteers who come to spend time with me describe me as ‘sweetness from head to toe’. I was a bit nervous for my shelter bath, but – being a good sport, I tolerated it. In my foster home, I understood which items in the house were mine, so I didn’t bother any of my foster’s things. I also didn’t beg when she was eating. I did bark a few times to alert her to unfamiliar noises I was hearing outside, but I quieted down quickly. I weaved between her legs trying to get affection from her, so it’s best I don’t live with anyone with mobility issues. My foster described me as ‘sweet and gentle’ and said I ‘wasn’t surprised by much (vacuum, etc.)’ and only cried if I was alone – I definitely love being with my people. I’m super cute and super affectionate with a calm and low-key nature. A perfect combination of lovable, playful and smart – I’m ready and waiting to be your new best friend. / My energy level is 5-7 – with fun short bursts of play time being my specialty. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘leave it’, ‘place’, and ‘come’ commands. I also walk nicely on a leash. I look forward to learning more, so let’s have some training sessions together! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. In one of my temporary foster homes I damaged a metal crate, but had very good house manners without a crate, so perhaps I won’t need one. I enjoy sleeping at the foot of my foster’s bed, and I stay in a thick plastic crate when my foster is away from home. / I have good potty habits in my foster home on a good schedule. I also whine at the door to notify my foster that I need to go out. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Spending time with the volunteers is just the best, because I get the chance to go out and roll in the grass (and snow … and on you!). Then, I can give you kisses and nose nudges to request more attention – which I love! I enjoy playing with toys and getting those great belly rubs. Toss a tennis ball my way, and I'll jump up to catch it with precision! I love being outside, and have become quite fond of bird watching, perhaps we can do that together? After playing, I enjoy curling up for a cozy nap on the couch. / I’m not a fan of the busy traffic around the shelter and am much happier and more relaxed playing in the back yard. Otherwise, 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 have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I’ve been experiencing some shelter anxiety, so I’m currently taking an inexpensive anxiety medication to help with that, I may be able to be weaned off of it once I’m settled in my new home. I am looking for a great home with a loving furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
