My story

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

A BLOSSOMING FRIEND:  Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 20 lbs.

Hi there, I’m Bourbon! I came to Mostly Mutts from a home with more dogs than they could manage, so I missed out on some early socialization. But I’m learning every day and making great progress! Once I get to know you and decide you’re one of my people – you’re in for good! I just need a little time to settle in and build trust so we can become good friends. I got to spend some time in a temporary foster home and had a great time there! I was adopted for a short time, but it wasn’t the right fit, so I’m back at Mostly Mutts looking for a calmer type of home and family to live a good life with. I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I have lived with a lot of dogs and have decided that I no longer want to live with other dogs. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best 15+ who will be able to read my signals and give me time to feel at home.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I came in a scared and sensitive soul who’s learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.  When I’m unsure, I might retreat to a corner or give a little growl - it’s just my way of saying I need a bit of space and time to feel safe.  But once I know you’re my person, my heart opens up completely!  I’ll show you my silly side with happy zoomies and gentle kisses.  I’m all about trust and patience - go slowly with me at first, keep me safe so I don’t get startled and run off, and soon you’ll see what a loyal, loving friend I am. It took a bit longer with men in my temp. foster home, but I’ll be around men in the prison/foster training program, so stay tuned for more information about that. My temp. foster said I was a sweet dog, and I sure enjoyed my time there – it was a nice calm home which is what I like. /  Energy Level: My energy level was 4-6 in my temp. foster home. It may start out a little lower until I feel comfortable. 
  
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have learned the ‘sit’ and ‘come’ commands so far and I look forward to learning more. / I’m doing well in my little room at Mostly Mutts, and I did well in a crate in my temp. foster home, too – I slept peacefully during the night. / I’m doing pretty well with my potty manners on the shelter schedule with a few accidents.  I also did well in my temp. foster home on a good schedule. 
 
• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love people once I know them, I’ll run around doing zoomies to show them how happy I am to see them!  In my temp. foster home, I enjoyed being close to my person, lying in the sun and being out in the fenced yard with them as well as showing my fun ‘pounce’ and play style while running around.  I’m sure we’ll find lots of other things we will enjoy doing together once I’ve settled into my new home. / I don’t care for other dogs, and I wouldn’t be happy if people rushed me into new situations or relationships, or if I was in a home that was busy or loud and 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 looking for a loving, calm and stable home where I’ll be cherished!  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:

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
