Description:
AN ACTIVE & SILLY BOY: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 34 lbs. Hi, my name’s Muttley – a handsome guy with beautiful eyes! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. Since joining the MM family, I’ve been soaking up all the love from the volunteers who come to care for me. They say I am now ready to find my new family, and I am so excited for that day. Hopefully it will be soon! I was in a temporary home for a few weeks, but I’m back with Mostly Mutts as it wasn’t a good fit. I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off site and learned a lot! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was friendly with them. If you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / The folks in my temporary home said I did well with their cat, so if you have a cat that likes dogs, let’s meet. / I met a boy and girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts, and I was sweet with them, but went after their feet when they ran - not aggressively, but playfully mouthy. Since I’m still young and a bit jumpy and mouthy right now, kids 10+ would be the best for me, so let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a happy and super sweet guy with a friendly demeanor. The volunteers have noticed I am also quite focused, which bodes well for my future training success. I’m playful and fun – ready to make lots of great memories with my new family. I was also sweet and calm for my shelter bath then – when it was over, I was ready to rumble and have fun with my bather! I enjoy cuddling with the volunteers and like to give them kisses. By the way, I can jump my gate at the shelter, so I should not be unsupervised in a fenced yard until you know I won’t try to do that. / My energy level is 6-8. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer. So far, I’ve mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’ commands and I look forward to learning lots more! I’m still very much a puppy and can be quite mouthy, so my trainers are working on that with me. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I had accidents on the shelter schedule, but in the temporary home, it was reported that I did well with my potty manners. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I like to get attention from all the nice volunteers, and I love toys, too, so let’s have some fun playtimes! A volunteer took me on a trip to the park and it was a blast! I was very polite while riding in the car and I love to explore new places, so take me on lots of adventures with you! / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m experiencing some itchy skin and a rash, so Mostly Mutts is trying the allergy medication Apoquel to help clear it up. I have just started this medication, so please check back soon for an update on how it is working for me. I am looking for a wonderful furever home where I will be a cherished family member! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
