My story

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

A SWEET & SHY FELLOW:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 59 lbs.

Hi there, I’m Nicolas! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my furever family.  I got to spend some time in a wonderful foster home and was adopted for about 10 days, but it wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts in the prison/foster training program off-site and looking forward to learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and am learning to play with them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a super sweet boy who just needs a little time and patience to feel safe so I can blossom!  I can be a bit timid indoors, but once I’m outside with the volunteers, I really come alive - I love to roll in the grass, play in the play yard and do my funny little army crawl!  I may walk slowly at first as I think I’m new to leash walking, but I’m learning.  I was a little unsure entering the Paw Spa, but I did great for my bath, even preferring to lie down while my tail wagged the whole time.  I was very shut down and scared when I first went to my foster home, but my fosters were very patient with me, sometimes needing to gently carry me and show me I was safe.  I opened up so much after just a week and they describe me as “sweet and gentle.”  I did worry and cry out if I couldn’t see my people for too long so no condo- or apartment-style living and I would prefer a stay- or work-from-home family member, please.  I’m a very strong chewer and sometimes get into things that aren’t mine – oops – so please pick up your things and give me some nice, strong chew toys and bones that I know are mine.  I’m friendly, sweet, and happy – just a gentle soul looking for love. / Energy Level: 5-7.      

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer. / I did well at Mostly Mutts with my crate manners.  In my former foster home, I didn’t go in on my own, so my foster picked me up and placed me into it. / My former adoptive family reported that my potty manners were good on their schedule and I did well in my former foster home, too.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I enjoy soft head pets and the company of someone who will sit quietly with me.  I like running, strong chew toys, snacks, exploring and playing fetch.  Rolling in grass and just being outside together in general is great fun for me, so I’d likely enjoy a fenced yard and a family that will spend lots of time outdoors with me. My former adoptive family reported that I just LOVED men and seemed to attach more to one person.  I’m sure we will discover even more things we enjoy doing together as I settle into my new home. / Sudden movements startle me and I don’t like being alone too much.  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 have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.

I’m looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by.  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
