• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've done very well with the two dogs in my first foster home, both of whom were male and around 15–20 pounds. I was very respectful when meeting them, even rolling over to show my belly to the more nervous one. Once they became comfortable with me, I got the zoomies and started inviting them to play! I shared toys nicely, enjoyed a fun game of tug-o-war with one of them, and loved having playmates. If the more nervous dog felt I was getting a little too energetic, he would give me a correction, and I listened, backed off, and gave him space. Of course, I'd kindly try again a little later—lol! I've been a wonderful housemate and have shown that I can be playful while still respecting another dog's boundaries. So, if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! / I've had a lovely introduction to the cat in my first foster home! She usually NEVER approaches dogs she doesn't know, but she took a liking to me almost immediately. When I first noticed her, I slowly approached and sniffed her, giving her a chance to sniff me, too. I didn't try to play with her but was content to calmly follow her around. I was very gentle and respectful of my new feline friend! Of course, all cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with another kitty. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was a shy guy at the shelter, but once I went into my foster home, my fun-loving, happy personality just came out to surprise my foster family! I fit right into their fun, music-loving household in no time. I loved being included in all the activity with the people and other pets and was such a good guest that they said I was the best right from the start! I guess you could say I'm a pretty easygoing houseguest with a happy heart and a love for being part of the fun. I can't wait to settle into a home of my own where I can share in all the good times with you! / Energy level: 4-6.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the 'sit', 'down', 'come' and 'leave it' commands and I accept friendly strangers without jumping. I look forward to learning lots more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I did well in my crate in my first foster home with a nice bed and blanket. / My potty manners were great in my first foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home as well.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with my people, and honestly, it doesn't matter what we're doing as long as I'm doing it with you! I also enjoyed hanging out with the other pets in my foster home. Stuffed toys are fun, and a good game of tug-o-war is always a hit with me! I'm sure we'll discover lots of other things we will enjoy doing together once I'm settled in my new home. / Other than being at the shelter, I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My foster says I'm a little doll and love to snuggle. I get very excited when they have company over as I love people! All I really want is to be close to my people! I was a little unsure of the bath sprayer, so I liked to hold onto my bather's arm during my bath, but once I was wrapped up in a towel, I was happy to be held and showered my bather with kisses and tail wags. I have the happiest full-body wags and so much love to give that it's hard not to keep cuddling me! I'm curious and ready to explore the world, especially on walks. / Energy level: 4-6.

In my foster home I sleep in my crate as well as when they go out so I don't get into anything, but it takes me a minute to settle in. / My potty manners have been pretty good on the shelter schedule and I'm still working on it in my foster home, so I'll need my new family to keep me on a good schedule so I can fully master my potty manners.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: Spending time with my people is just the best! After a fun walk outside, I love nothing more than to curl up in a lap on the couch for lots of pets and affection. I'm a loving, sweet girl who thinks kisses, cuddles, and being close to my favorite people are the very best things in the world! / 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.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: Though I came in with another dog, I didn't like the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts, so if you have a calm dog at home, let's meet and see if we can be friends. / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet, but if you have gentle kids that know how to be respectful to a dog that can't hear well, let's meet and best no very young kids that may be too active for me.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a super sweet, friendly girl and a complete lap and snuggle buddy! I love being close to my people and will happily follow you around the house because I'd much rather be wherever you are than spend too much time by myself. I'd do especially well with someone who works from home or isn't gone for long hours, since I really enjoy having my people nearby. I was a little leery of my foster dad at first, but with a little time and patience, I've really warmed up to him, so I may just need some extra time to feel comfortable with men. My hearing is very diminished, so I won't hear you coming or calling me, but I'll make up for it with all the love I have to give! I'll need my people to help keep me safe and be mindful of my limited hearing, and in return, I'll be your devoted little shadow and snuggle buddy. / Energy level: 1-3.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don't seem to know any commands, but Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so we could try some classes if you like, or we could just be happy together and not worry about commands. / My crate manners are good in my foster home. / I'm doing pretty well with my potty manners, though you should expect some accidents that I don't have control over, but it's much better now that I'm on a medication called Proin which helps with this—just ask how it's going.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being in your lap and staying close to my people! Soft blankets are a favorite, especially when I can curl up on one beside you. I enjoy being loved on, getting lots of attention, and spending time with my people—I'm happiest when I'm right by your side. I'm definitely a lap dog at heart! I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / I'm not a fan of being alone in my foster home and I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention and good care.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I've just had a dental cleaning and several teeth pulled, so my mouth is healthy again. I'm on an inexpensive over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin which is good for all older dogs. I'm also on a prescription medication called Proin twice a day which helps with incontinence and it's helping a lot! I should stay on this for life.
I'm a wonderfully sweet senior girl looking for a family that will treasure me and give me a wonderful life during my senior years. My adoption fee is $100.00 and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

A SWEET SENIOR LADY: Approx. 12 years old / Approx. 36 lbs.
Hi there, I'm Vixey! I was adopted along with another dog named Boomer, who is also available for adoption, when we were both puppies. Sadly, my family is relocating and reports that they cannot take either of us with them. This makes us sad, but we're now in a wonderful foster home and feeling hopeful about the future!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along with the other calm dogs I've met, but I'm not looking for a playmate or to live with an active dog, so if you have a dog that sounds like this, let's meet! I formerly went to doggie daycare but am past the playing stage. / No cats as I don't like them. / I haven't met kids yet in my foster home, but my former family reported that I liked the kids I met while I was with them, though I don't recall their ages, so if you have kids, let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a very sweet, lovable girl who can be sensitive, but once I'm comfortable, my gentle personality shines through. I'm calm, well-behaved, and wonderfully easygoing, and I love simply being in whatever room my people are in. I also have an independent side, so you don't need to entertain me. I'm happy to lounge on a comfy bed when my folks are away and I don't get on the furniture, counter surf, or get into things I shouldn't. I'm quite content to relax and enjoy the easy life just getting belly rubs and having my people nearby. A cozy place to rest is pretty much ideal. / Energy level: 2-4.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don't seem concerned about or know commands but if you like, Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so we could give them a try. / I've never been crated and do not seem to need one. When my foster leaves the house for a few hours at a time, I've been fine. At night I sleep in a dog bed next to my foster's bed. / My potty manners are good on my foster's takeout schedule of every few hours. My former family reported that I also used potty pads when they were gone longer.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy short walks, lots of affection, and spending my day relaxing in a cozy spot. I'm happiest when I can be in whatever room my person is in, just keeping you company. Belly rubs are a definite favorite, and celery and carrots make wonderful little treats! / I'm not a fan of nail trims, but I know they need to be done, so I should be able to learn that they aren't so bad with patience and encouragement. And like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm on an inexpensive over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin that's good for all older dogs. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.

They also say that I have a calm nature and have been very well-behaved, I don't even get on the furniture or counter surf. I've been great with all people I've met and in fact, I don't like being left without people, so I do a little barking and moaning when left. I'd be happiest with a family member who is home a good bit, such as a work-from-home or stay-at-home family member.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and wasn't quite ready to play with them, though I didn't show any aggression. In my foster home, I played with the nice 3-year-old and 11-year-old dogs. The 3-year-old dog is a good match for my energy level because we are very active! I don't always read the signs yet when another dog is finished playing, but I'm working on it, so if you have a nice, active dog at home already, let's meet and see if we can be friends. / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, but I may be a bit too much for young children since I'm a little mouthy when I play, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a beautiful, sweet, happy and friendly girl with a gentle, polite nature and a desire to please! I've been an active, and cuddly girl who has fun in the Mostly Mutts play yard with the volunteers and even showed off my favorite “downward dog” yoga stretch! I can be a little shy and unsure about new things, and I was timid during my bath at first, but I'm warming up as I get more comfortable. I'm currently a little more comfortable with women, so having a female take the lead initially may help me feel at ease. With patience, gentle guidance, and positive experiences, I'm sure my confidence will continue to grow, and I'll become more comfortable with everyone I meet. / Energy level: 4-6.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program, so, I've mastered 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. Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good in my foster home, though it's not my favorite place so I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time in a crate./ My potty manners were pretty good on the shelter schedule and are improving in my foster home as I'm following the other dogs leads and I've learned to use a doggie door out to a securely fenced yard which has been helpful in my learning.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with toys, chasing tennis balls, going on hikes and being active with my family! I also like being pet in your lap when I'm sleepy. My foster says that I'm a "happy cuddle bug!" I'm sure we'll discover lots of other things we like doing together once I'm all settled into our new home. / Other than being rushed into new situations or with new people, like all dogs, 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.
