My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A FRIENDLY & VERY ACTIVE GIRL:  Approx.  1 year old / Approx. 52 lbs. 

Hi, my name is Melody!  I was rescued from animal control, and I sure am glad to be here!  I came in with some fur loss and itchy sore skin but with lots of good care and good nutrition, my fur is growing back nicely and I’m looking so pretty!  I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off site learning a lot as I don’t think I previously received training or proper stimuli!  I’ll have new pictures taken to show off my pretty coat when I return.  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. 

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I liked them.  If you have a dog at home who would like a playmate, let’s meet and see if we can be pals! / Cats unknown. / I enjoyed meeting children recently at Mostly Mutts, but I should live with older kids (age 15+) in my new home, as I am jumpy and strong.  Let’s meet! 

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m described as a ‘tail-wagging girl’ – happy, energetic, goofy, exuberant, and sweet.  I’ve been very playful and active, looking to have fun, so I need a family dedicated to spending time training and being active with me for me to be my best adult doggie self. / My energy level is 10, so I need a family with a strong leader who is committed to my exercise routine and continued training. Get ready to be active with your new best friend!

• 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 using my gentle leader as well as accept nice strangers without jumping.  / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits are coming along nicely, as I’ve adjusted well to the training program schedule. Hopefully, with a good, consistent schedule, I’ll be able to continue this in your home. 
 
• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I LOVE to play with toys, and I am quite exuberant with my puppy antics – occasionally letting out little growly vocalizations to let you know how excited I am!  I especially love tennis balls, so a fenced yard where we can have great fetching games would be wonderful in my new home.  I am also very treat-motivated, yum.  I love people so much that I need to be in a ‘sit’ when I meet them.  / I can’t think of any dislikes right now, 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 spayed. 

I am looking for a loving family dedicated to my training and to giving me a great furever home!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue & Adoption's Adoption Process

Our facility is currently open to the public Monday-Saturday, 11-3. We welcome you to come meet our adoptable Mutts & Kitties! Please keep in mind the following:

Many of our adoptable Mutts & Kitties are in foster homes, so please call 770-272-6888 to find out if the pet you are interested in is at our facility. With an approved application we can set up meet & greets and adoptions with a pet in foster care.
We are not yet up to full ‘staffing’ following the pandemic, so there may be times when we cannot do meet & greets or process an application on the spot.
The best first step is to submit an application via www.mostlymutts.org.
Our adoption counselors are happy to help make a great match for you and your family!

Adoption Info:
Please submit an application through our website at www.mostlymutts.org if you are interested in one of our adoptable pets. We are receiving a large volume of applications and processing may take a little bit longer than normal. We are grateful for your interest, and an adoption counselor will be in touch as quickly as possible. Please give us 48 hours to respond before sending a follow-up email.

Don’t see a dog or cat for you on the website? Submit the application anyway!! We are taking in a large number of dogs and cats weekly. Due to the overwhelming demand, many are matched with approved applicants prior to being posted online. Our adoption counselors will be happy to help make a great match for you and your family.

Thank you for your patience and support!

More about this rescue

Who We Are:

Mostly Mutts is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, staffed almost entirely by volunteers!

Our Mission is to help the Unwanted, Abandoned, Abused and Sick animals in our local counties. We fulfill this mission by working closely with County Animal Control Facilities, saving those who are in imminent danger of euthanasia, or those with needs which require specialized vet care that many other groups will not consider: major orthopedic issues, heartworm positive treatment, skin conditions, neglect and abuse
