My story

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

A FUN & ENERGETIC GAL:  Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 35 lbs.

Hi, my name’s Josie!  Somehow, I wound up at animal control, and I knew it was my lucky day when Mostly Mutts came for me.  At the MM shelter, I am settling in nicely and am now ready to find a family to love and be loved by, come meet me soon!  I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot!  I was adopted for a couple of months, but my energy level wasn’t a match for the family, so I’m back with MM looking for a family that will be active with me.  I’m in a wonderful foster home now while I wait for my family to find me.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I have a hard time making doggie friends.  For now, I would like to be your only dog, please.  / I met a cat at MM and we all decided that it’s best I not live with cats.  / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet.  My foster thinks older kids (maybe 10+) might be a good match since I love to play and sometimes do some gentle nibbling / mouthy play, but never in a mean way.
  
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet, fun and friendly girl with the most adorable floppy ears and nubby tail!  Playful and affectionate, I love to spend time with people.  I was a bit unsure during my shelter bath, but I eventually relaxed and – by the ear and face cleaning time, I was giving sweet kisses.  I am playful and energetic – my foster says my energy level is high, but so is my cuddle level – so I am looking for a family member that matches my energy level for lots of fun and adventures together . . . then we can curl up together on the couch!  / My energy level is 7-8+.

• 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 a bit hyper-focused with toys, so my trainer has taught me to exchange my toy for a treat or another toy.  / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, as well as in my foster home.  My foster leaves the door open and I use it as a quiet resting spot.  I also go in nicely when asked.  It is also a good idea to crate me away from windows if any outside people are coming to work in the yard – I get a little vocal looking out for my property.  / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule and in my temp. and current foster homes, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I am super excited when I visit the play yard with the volunteers!  In my foster home, I love playing in the backyard and doing zoomies!  I really love toys, and, as mentioned above, can be hyper-focused with them.  I love stuffed toys and play with them enthusiastically, then I move on.  Tug-o-war is also one of my favorite games if you want to have some fun, too!  Mealtime is a close favorite to play time, so a slow feeder suits my needs best, so I don’t get a tummy ache from eating my food at lightning speed – lol.  After some playtime, let’s snuggle up and unwind together. / I don’t like bicycles passing me or busy walking paths so please hold tightly to my leash and let’s find quieter places to walk.  I’m not a fan of the vacuum, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.  Otherwise, 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.

• MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed.  I’m currently on an inexpensive medication to help with my hyper-focus on toys and some anxiousness.  At the shelter, I can’t have toys overnight for my safety, so I get excited when I see a toy.  I’m hoping that in my forever home, where there will be lots of toys, I can feel more relaxed about them and hopefully come off the medication in time.  

I am looking for a fun family with whom I can make great memories!  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!

Who We Are:
