Senior Dogs for Adoption in Mableton, GA: 18 Older Dogs Looking for a Home

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a handsome, friendly guy with a sweet and gentle nature and a playful side, too! I enjoy having fun, playing with toys, and making new friends. I'm a cute little dude with lots of love to share! / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'come', 'leave it' and 'place' commands as well as how to use proper door etiquette and how to accept friendly strangers without jumping. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / My crate manners have been good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I've just had a dental cleaning! I have a little bit of thin fur, so I'm receiving medicated baths twice a week for a little while—these can easily be done in my new home.

My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and did alright with them, though I wasn't initially ready to play. After a little time, I did enjoy going into the play yard with the trainers and another sweet dog, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over that may fall on me.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: The nice volunteers describe me as gentle, friendly, and sweet, and I think they got it just right! I'm a well-mannered little gal with a lovely disposition and an easygoing nature. I enjoy making friends and sharing my affection, and I can't wait to bring my gentle sweetness to a family of my own! / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'stay', 'come', 'drop it', 'leave it' and 'place' commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept friendly strangers without jumping. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners have been pretty good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love spending time with the nice volunteers and soaking up all the attention! I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we enjoy doing together once I'm settled into my new home! / 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.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I recently had a good dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again! I have a mild luxating patella in my left rear leg which is typical for a lot of smaller dogs and it doesn't bother me. I'm on an inexpensive over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin that's good for all older dog's joints.

I'm a sweet, gentle girl looking for the same in my wonderful new home. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.

• 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.

Somehow I ended up in a local shelter. I remember my story, but since my rescue, I'm loving life! I got my teeth cleaned and was all checked out. I love to eat and am motivated by FOOD! Treats please! And I ADORE tummy rubs and snuggles. Car rides are fun too; I like the window cracked so i can use my smell-o-vision.

I'm basically a quiet dog (ssshhh) unless someone's walking outside, then I think I'm a huge, fierce protector. I'm pretty low energy (aka couch potato) and am a loyal shadow, neither demanding nor destructive. I follow my foster mom everywhere and sleep deeply on a comfy bed at night. I dream of my furever home.

I give my heart fully and completely. I can be a bit skittish with quick movements, so may not be best with small children, but on the plus side, I don't shed too much even though I've got lots of long gorgeous hair.

She would prefer to have her person’s attention all to herself. She does complain when other dogs get too close to her human, although her canine housemates don’t always take her objections seriously. A home where she can be the only dog would likely be her happiest fit.

She is mostly house-trained and will need patience and a consistent potty routine as she settles in. Because she can snap when startled, she needs a calm home with adults only or older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respect her space and approach her gently.

If your idea of a perfect companion is a little dog who thinks everyday life is better together, this curly-haired girl might be your match.

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

• 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. When outside with my family after dark, things are a little harder for me to see.

I'm a wonderful lady looking for a family that will treasure me and take great care of me! My adoption fee is $100.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've liked the other dogs I've met, and I must have another gentle sweet dog in my new home to hang around with. I don't play; I just need the security of another dog friend, so let's meet. I formerly went to doggie daycare and did well there, but I think I'm past the playing stage. / I met a kitty at the shelter and we all agree that I should not live with cats. / 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: My foster reports that I'm a big, sweet, goofball who is pretty happy-go-lucky, as long as I have another dog in my home to hang out with. 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. I'm a sweet old soul that just wants to be around you and enjoy my golden years. / 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 the company of my dog friends, chewing on a squeaky toy, taking short walks, and soaking up lots of affection! I'm also perfectly happy to spend much of the day relaxing and would love nothing more than to be in whatever room my person is in. I'm an easygoing fellow who just likes having my people nearby. Celery and carrots make great little treats, too! / I don't really like being left without my people, and I may let you know with a few barks and moans that I'd much rather have you nearby! And I don't think I'd be happy living without another calm dog. 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 neutered. 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. I have a chronic cough which has been thoroughly checked out by the vets and does not seem to be of concern, other than some medication. Just ask how this is going.

I'm a wonderful fellow looking for a family that will treasure me and with another friendly dog to hang out with. My adoption fee is $100.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I can be around other dogs but should NOT live with another dog due to guarding food and treats and these things cannot be around us when we're together. There was a bite related to this guarding, so just ask about that. / I ignored the cat in my former foster home, but all cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would be with another kitty, and no food or treats should be around us. / I haven't met kids yet, but Mostly Mutts thinks kids 15+ who can follow the guidelines with food and treats that work with me, so if you have kids like this, let's meet.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a curious boy with a little pep in my step and a whole lot of sweetness! I'm friendly, loving, and happy, curious and everyone says I'm such a good dog and a little sweetheart. I have fun little bursts of energy and cuteness—rolling around in the grass, chasing my tail, tossing a toy in the air and doing that cute little prayer paws pose with a little dance when I am so hopeful you will give me a treat. I am also very affectionate and can give kisses for days. I followed my former foster around like a little shadow—do you need one? / Energy level: 3-5, but may increase a bit after my heartworm treatment.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'come' and 'place' commands and I also know how to accept friendly strangers without jumping. I look forward to learning 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 at Mostly Mutts and slept well in a little pen area with an open crate in my former foster home. / My potty habits were good in my foster home.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddles, pets, scritches, kisses, food and I enjoy going for walks, exploring all the sniffs and sights. I also love to roll around outside in the sunshine. Once I'm settled into my new home, I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we will love to do together! / I get a little nervous during baths and car rides 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 neutered. Sadly, I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, so I'm heartworm positive. The good news is that I am doing the slow kill method that can easily be done in my new home. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I'm on medicated baths once a week a little while longer to help with flaky skin from a flea allergy and these can be done easily in my new home.

I'm a little sweetheart looking for a wonderful family that will take great care of me and love me forever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Mistic Marie is both house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to the right home. She gets along well with other dogs and has a calm, gentle personality that makes her a joy to be around. Whether you&#39re relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or heading out for an adventure, she&#39ll happily keep you company. One of her favorite things is going for car rides! She loves riding along with her people, taking in the world around her, and then coming home for what she loves most--snuggling.

Mistic Marie is incredibly affectionate and adores spending time with her humans, soaking up every bit of love and attention she can get. A securely fenced yard is important for Mistic Marie so she can safely explore, stretch her legs, and enjoy the outdoors at her own pace. What she may lack in hearing and vision, she more than makes up for with her loving spirit, gentle nature, and unwavering devotion. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you&#39re interested in adopting this deserving girl, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications.

BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2-3 hours of the Greater Atlanta area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.

Victor is completely house trained, has excellent leash manners, and is an absolute pleasure to take on leisurely walks. He&#39s a low-energy boy who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and would thrive in a quiet home where he can soak up all the love and companionship you have to offer. Whether you&#39re reading a book, watching TV, or working from home, Victor is content just being close to his favorite people.

He&#39s quite the gentleman and even loves showing off his impressive list of tricks! Ask him for a shake, high five, or down, and he&#39ll happily demonstrate just how smart he is. Victor would be content as the only pet in the home, but he is also non-reactive to other dogs and cats in his foster home.

While he enjoys wandering around a fenced yard and taking in all the interesting sights and smells, a yard isn&#39t required. His easygoing nature and low exercise needs make him a wonderful candidate for a town home or apartment, provided he gets his daily walks. Victor can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but once you&#39ve earned his trust, you&#39ll discover an incredibly devoted companion who forms deep, lasting bonds. He would be an especially wonderful fit for retirees or someone who is home often and looking for a faithful friend to share life&#39s quieter moments.

Victor is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If youre interested in adopting this special boy, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: Though I came in with another dog, I have not liked the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts, so I think I’d like to be your only dog. I’ll be tested with dogs again in the prison/foster training program. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, though I do guard my food and possibly some other items, so older kids that can follow guidelines with me will be best. Let’s say 10+ mature kids and of course, let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a friendly, sometimes sassy, sweet little girl who’s full of fun and enjoys being around my people. I can be a bit timid at first, but I settle in quickly and my cheerful personality shines through. I was a brave girl during my bath, happily standing at the edge of the tub for my shampoo, rinse, and ear cleaning, and I was a busy, friendly little one during my photo session too. During my temporary foster stay, I settled in quickly but had a brief snappy moment with my foster dad one evening when he sat with me on the floor. Since I had liked him before that and was perfectly happy with him again the next morning, it appears to have been a one-time incident that perhaps had to do with a darker environment. In the off-site training program, I preferred to spend time indoors. I got to go on a daytrip to Swift Cantrell Park recently with one of my favorite volunteers and I had so much fun—she even made a video about it so please check it out! Spoiler alert: I rode well in the car, loved walking, exploring, checking out the joggers, wearing sunglasses and having a pup cup! / Energy level: 3-5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have learned the ‘come’ and ‘place’ commands so far. I look forward to learning even more so let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! I’m a food guarder, so please give me space when eating. The Mostly Mutts trainers will be happy to show you how to work with me on that and I’ll be working on it in the off-site training program. I can be a little snappy with leashing and have made contact with a volunteer, so I’ll also be working on that in the off-site training program too. It seems I didn’t have much experience with stairs in my former home, so I’ll need my new family to teach me how to go up and down them. / I’m doing well in my crate at Mostly Mutts and slept well in it on my spend-the-night and in the off-site training program too. It is my safe space. I have growled if I don’t want to come out when other dogs are barking. / I’ve had a few accidents at Mostly Mutts, though not a lot, and my potty manners were good for the spend-the-night where they took me out regularly.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddles, tasty treats, and spending time with my people. I enjoy playing and running around the play yard at Mostly Mutts, and I’ve shown an interest in toys, though I may still be learning how to play with them. One of my favorite places is relaxing in a comfy dog bed next to my person’s desk while they work, just happy to be close by. I also like riding in the car—so let’s ride! / Other than not liking other dogs at Mostly Mutts, not wanting folks by my food, and some leash sensitivity/reactiveness, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on my annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I had a dental cleaning with multiple extractions, so my mouth is fresh again. I’m also on an over-the-counter joint supplement calle

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and I prefer the more mellow dogs. I also didn’t really care to play, but I didn’t show any aggression. If you have a nice, mellow dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a friendly, sweet, and gentle boy who loves to cuddle and be held. I was a little nervous when I first arrived, but my loving personality quickly began to shine. I did a great job during my bath and happily soaked up being held afterward. I’m a bit of a chunky monkey, as I was clearly overfed in my previous home, so I’m hoping my new family will help me reach a healthier weight with proper nutrition, exercise, and the salt-free green bean diet—just ask about it! With a little teamwork, I’ll be in tip-top shape. / Energy level: 3-5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a smart gentleman who knows the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’, and ‘place’ commands and I bet you can teach me even more! Let’s do some training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I’ve been having accidents on the shelter schedule, so I’ll need my new family to help me with my potty training.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love my food a bit too much, so mealtimes are definitely one of my favorite parts of the day! I also enjoy cuddling, being held, and spending time close to my people. And I’m sure that once I’m settled into my new home, we’ll discover many more things we’ll enjoy doing together. / I wasn’t a fan of getting my ears cleaned or nails trimmed during my bathtime and 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 neutered. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.

I’m looking for a wonderful family to love that will take great care of me and cherish me furever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I did well with the more mellow dogs I met in the off-site training program. In my foster home I get along with the older dog—I'm friendly and playful but politely give them space when needed. So if you have a nice doggie at home like this, let's meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, but I've recently started a little food and toy guarding, so kids 15 and older would be best¬—let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a fun, sweet gentleman with a friendly, playful personality and the happiest little trot and a cheerful spirit! I did a great job during my bath, and everyone enjoys spending time with my happy, lovable self. / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience, 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 we can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. I guard my food and sometimes toys, so please give me some space with these things. Also, the trainers will be happy to go over the strategies that work with me, so we'll be set up for success. / I’m doing well in my crate. In my foster home when it's time to go to bed, I walk right in my crate and settle down for the night. I also don't mind a little crate time during the day when my foster needs to run a quick errand. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule and in my foster home, I've had no accidents staying on their schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy going for walks, playing with squeaky toys and tennis balls, and running around and exploring in a fenced back yard. Spending time with people and having fun are some of my favorite things. My foster says I’m a “great companion” and I'm sure once I'm settled into my new home, we'll discover many more activities we'll enjoy together! / When getting a bath, I'm a little sensitive when my ears are being cleaned. Other than the above-mentioned guarding, 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.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I needed a good dental cleaning when I arrived, and thankfully I've had that done, so my mouth is fresh again! I'm on an over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin which is good for all older dogs.

I'm a sweet fellow looking for a great home and family to love! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along very well with the mellow older dog in my foster home. We follow each other around, and I’m very affectionate with him. I even try to get my 14-year-old buddy to play, though he usually just looks at me like I’ve lost my mind! I’m very caring with him, too. I check on him often, stay right by his side, and even accompany him up and down the stairs. I seem to understand that his older joints and lower back make stairs more difficult, so I like to be there for him—I think that’s the Mama in me. I also met a couple of dogs at Mostly Mutts before going into my foster home and though I wasn’t quite ready to play with them, I also didn’t show any aggression. So, if you have a calmer-natured sweet dog at home already like me, let’s meet! / I am doing well with the kitty in my foster home and even allow her to rub her head on me. 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 accidentally bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was pretty shut down when I first arrived at the shelter, but I’ve gained trust and confidence in my foster home. I’m a gentle, sweet, calm, and elegant girl who likes to take a little time getting to know new people. I’ve made wonderful progress in my foster home and I now seek affection, follow my foster around the house, play with her, and am comfortable in my surroundings. I generally only bark if my foster leaves the house with the other dog and I am left behind. I would do best with a family that will give me a little time and patience to adjust to my new home and blossom like I have in my foster home. I am a flight risk, so please use caution around doors and gates and don't let me off leash. / Energy level: Now that I feel comfortable, my energy level has increased to 5-7.

• 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 do some training together. My foster has worked with me on being comfortable getting into and out of a car and now I’m doing well with this and I ride calmly. / I’ll go in my crate when needed, though I don’t choose to hang out in it. At nighttime I happily sleep on a doggie bed by my foster’s bed. / I have very good potty manners in my foster home and will quietly go to the door when I need to potty, so you do have to watch when I head that way as I don’t bark to alert you.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I absolutely love soft blankets and enjoy snuggling up in them whenever I can. I also seem to enjoy watching TV, especially the DogTV programs my foster puts on for me. Relaxing and sunbathing are also enjoyable. I’ve even started showing interest in stuffed toys and am beginning to discover how much fun they can be! / I’m not a fan of loud noises, though my foster is helping me gradually get used to things like vacuum and weed eater sounds. I also don’t like being rushed into new situations or relationships and prefer a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. And 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. I have tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet regarding a dental cleaning in the near future.

With a little patience, kindness and love, I look forward to being your wonderful companion! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
