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’ve gotten to enjoy some time in wonderful foster homes and now I’m waiting to find my furever 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, perhaps we’ll be pals. / I lived with kids in my previous home and liked them, though I can’t remember their ages. I also met some nice neighborhood kids ages 5-8 with my foster and was very sweet with them, accepting pets and rolling over for belly rubs. 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 my foster says I am starting to show my playful side. I 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 who is home most of the time as I’ve developed some separation anxiety (which I’ve started medication for and it’s helping) 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 former foster also reported that I know ‘drop it’ and ‘place’. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and were pretty good in my former foster home, too. / My former family reported that I was potty trained, as did my foster family, 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 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. Going for walks, belly rubs and Pup-Peroni treats are all things I like. 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 and disliking some loud noises like thunderstorms, 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 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.
