LOOKING FOR A GREAT LEADER: Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 12 lbs.
Hi there, I’m Ruff! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I sure am happy to be in their care while I wait to find my new family to love!! I’m a fun and spirited pup looking for a good leader to follow. I’m in a foster home with a good leader now, so we’re learning lots of things about me.
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: No dogs in my new home please, due to my guarding behavior. I met dogs at Mostly Mutts and was fine until they wanted to play and then I lunged and showed teeth. I may be fine to be around calm, mellow dogs, but still should not live with them. / I am getting more acquainted with the cats in my foster home, and I did ok with the crated kittens I rode with in the car. When I first met cats, I showed some prey drive to chase them if they ran, though I am showing improvement. If you have a dog-savvy cat at home, let’s meet. / In my foster home, there’s an older teen who understands me and lets me come to him for attention, petting and some good scratches, though sometimes I still growl at him. I think older teens who understand my boundaries could be a fit for me, so let’s meet. I’ve done some guarding of my bowls and some toys, so best no younger kids.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I have a very sweet personality once I know you and I do best when people let me come to them. Once I know you, I am a super fun guy. On a recent daytrip, a volunteer said I was a “good boy” who travels well, enjoyed playing with a squeaky toy, walking in the neighborhood, and watching an episode of Haunted Ireland. I need ample time on the floor to enjoy being a dog and encourage independence. Like any dog, sitting in someone's lap all the time and sleeping in a person's bed may encourage people guarding. (My trainer or adoption counselor will be happy to talk to you about this). I seem to prefer women over men, so if there’s a man in my new home, I’d like him to be calm, confident, kind, and for him to want to win me over. / My energy level is 6 – 7 so I’ll like some regular activity please.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a member of the Mostly Mutts University training program and have learned the ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands so far. I’m sure I’ll learn even more as I do follow my trainer’s leadership. With my trainer, I’ve learned that I’m rewarded for calm behavior. I need a family that will provide leadership and rules so that I don't feel the need to be the leader. A firm ‘no’ lets me know you’re in charge. / I do well in my crate, though I'm more comfortable if you let me come out of the crate on my own rather than reaching in. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule and in my foster home. In my foster home, I let my foster know I needed to go outside by sitting at her feet and staring at her. When she said ‘outside’ I ran to the door in excitement, so she understood I needed to go out. My weakness is the cold weather, I don’t like doing my business outdoors if it's too cold, so watch me closely that I go outside during frigid weather, so I don’t tinkle on a rug.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love fetching squeaky balls and treats. I also like walks, although I still need some work in this area. Sitting on the bench and sunning myself a bit next to the nice volunteers is fun too. / I am cautious when new people approach - I am more comfortable when new people let me initiate the interaction. 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’ll thrive with a family that will provide me with good training and leadership. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
