Description:
A LOVING & PROTECTIVE GIRL: Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 55 lbs. Hi, my name’s Yasmeen! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control and I’m sure happy they did! I’m now ready to find my furever family to love! I was adopted for about a week, but it wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for my match. I also got to spend some time in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them! I met 3 different dogs (of various genders and sizes) on walks with my temp. foster, and I greeted them politely, one even barked at me, but I didn’t react. I’m a dominant female player, so not all dogs will like that, but if you have a dog that won’t mind me running into them, etc., let’s meet! / The temporary home I was in reported that I was good with their male and female cats. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old, and I liked them, but I did some guarding in my temporary home and acted aggressive with the grandchild, so dog-savvy kids 15+ may be a better match for me, let’s meet. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I arrived a bit unsure of new people, and we learned that I like to know that I can trust you and then we’ll be good friends. It only took a day for that in the prison foster/training program. I LOVE my people a lot and guard them a bit when a stranger comes into the home, but if I know them, I’ve been alright. I’ve worked on this in the prison/foster training program, and we have found it helpful that I meet new people outside of my space/home, so doing this in my new home is recommended. I’d like a dog-savvy family, and I would not do well in a home with a lot of folks coming and going. I’ve been a great girl for my baths and ‘just the sweetest’ girl. Once I settled into my temp. foster home, my foster described me as a ‘very sweet, mellow girl who just wants to snuggle up’ – so sweet! / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. I’m very treat-motivated, which is probably why I am so accomplished as an MMU student. / I’m doing well in my crate. I voluntarily went in there during the day to rest in a temp. foster home I visited. / My potty manners are very good in the prison/foster training program as well as in a temp. foster home I visited, and I usually go #2 regularly around 5:30pm. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Being with people is just the best, and I love all the attention and cuddles that come my way. Playing fetch, chewing on bones, giving and receiving kisses, playing with toys, zoomies around the back yard, giving and receiving snuggles, and going for car rides are a few of my favorite things. I’ve been very calm on my leash, so let’s enjoy some walks together, though I seem a bit grass shy at times – sidewalks or a quieter trail could be great! Long naps after playtime are awesome, so let’s snuggle up together! / I can be a bit nervous, so sudden movements at the shelter and in the prison/foster training program can startle me. I wouldn’t like a home with a lot of folks coming and going or where I’d be rushed. I’m not a fan of having my feet held. I did alert bark a few times at strangers walking by and the delivery man in my temp. foster home. 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 vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have some skin irritation so I’m taking an allergy medication which I may or may not need to stay on - we’re not sure yet, just ask about that. I’m also getting medicated baths once a week and these can easily be done in my new home. I sometimes have phantom pains in my tail since it had to be amputated. These can be common with amputees and should decrease in time. I may need to be muzzled for vetting. 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.
