Description:
A REAL SWEETHEART OF A GIRL: Approx. 12 years old / Approx. 47 lbs. Hi, my name is Bela! I was adopted as a puppy from Mostly Mutts and was a loving and loyal pet to my previous family for many years. Unfortunately – as time went on, they had less and less time for me. I am back with Mostly Mutts now while I wait for a new forever home where I will be a cherished family member in my golden years. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was reactive towards them. For this reason, I would like to be your only dog, please. / I got along fine with cats in my previous home, according to my former owner. If you have a dog-friendly kitty, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / I lived with kids in my previous home and liked them, though I can’t remember their ages. So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a sweet and loving girl with a gentle nature you are sure to love. I’m alert and smart and though not super playful, I do have lots of love to give to my new family. The volunteers love me and even call me a ‘love’. A sweet senior girl, I will be your loyal companion in exchange for your love and kindness. I’m looking for a family member that is home most of the time as I’ve developed some separation anxiety (which I’ve started medication for) and did some damage to a door-frame when left alone as well as broke out of a wooden fence when left alone. So, please don’t leave me unattended in the yard when you are gone. / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, and have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and greet friendly strangers without jumping on them. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My former family reported that I was potty trained, and I've had very few accidents on the shelter schedule, so I just may need to learn the routine in my new home. Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being with people and would relish my time being included in family activities in my new home. I love cuddling and would enjoy sleeping in your bed if you let me. I also like riding in the car, so let’s go to some fun places together! I would likely enjoy spending time with you outside in a nice, fenced yard, but don’t leave me unattended, as I have dug out of a fenced yard in the past. / Other than being alone, I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I had a cyst removed from my neck and it’s healing nicely. I also have some older lady lumps that are of no concern and don’t bother me, and I hope they won’t bother you either. I have started an inexpensive medication for my separation anxiety. I am looking for a great home with a loving family to cherish me during my golden years. My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
