My story

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

A HANDSOME FRIENDLY FELLOW:  Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 40 lbs. & needs to lose weight

Hi there, I’m Monroe!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m thrilled to be here getting a 2nd chance at finding a great home!  I needed bloodwork before my neuter surgery, and I had that done thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! Now I’m ready to find my furever family! Perhaps it’s you?  I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met some dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and was interested, although I didn’t want to play with them, I also didn’t show any aggression.  I enjoyed taking walks and sharing toys and beds with the 8-year-old female dog in my temporary foster home.  I prefer the more mellow dogs I have met, so if you have a nice, mellow dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals.  / I met a cat while visiting a temp. foster home and I was unsure, but not aggressive. There were 2 cats in another temp. foster, and I didn’t do too well with them, so perhaps no kitties for me. / I met two nice boys around 8 and 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them.  I even didn’t mind when they rode a scooter near me.  I also liked the kids age 7-14 in my temp. foster home and I even followed 2-year-old twins around so gently and sweetly in another home I visited.  A home with kids 10 years old (or a little younger) could be a good fit for me.  Let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet, gentle boy who loves people and has a happy and friendly nature.  Like many dogs of my breed mix, I’m also quite vocal, so I’ll do best in a home where I can sing my songs without bothering any neighbors.  No apartment/condo type home please.  I came in very stressed, but once I had time to settle, my calm and loving side started to shine.  I was even a champ for my bath, leaning into the soothing massage and ear cleaning like it was a spa day.  I’m a hefty guy but working hard on losing some weight using the green bean diet, and I’m already proud of my 3-pound weight loss.  With love, patience, and a cozy home, I know I’ll thrive. / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I know the ‘sit’, ‘come’, and ‘place’ commands and I bet you can teach me even more!  / I don’t love being in my crate, and I can be loud when in it.  Luckily, I haven’t really needed one in my foster home.  / My potty habits are good in my foster home, where I enjoy 3-4 walks a day to potty and sniff around.  Hopefully that’ll be the case in my new home, too! 

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love spending time in the great outdoors sniffing all the wonderful scents!  I also really enjoy soaking up all the scratches around my head and ears – feels so good!  I also love a good game of fetch, followed by some belly rubs and a nice nap.  I have a special Kong treat ball that’s tasty and fun – just watch the treats as I’m doing so well losing weight on my “green bean diet.”  I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we enjoy doing together! / I don’t like being picked up.   Otherwise, 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 recently started on a low dose of anxiety medication, to help me with some shelter stress I’ve been experiencing.  I’m on an over-the-counter joint supplement that is 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.  Be sure to ask about my green bean diet so I can continue to lose weight in my new home. 

I’m looking for a great family that loves the hound dog vocal breed mix! 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.

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
