My story

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

A SWEET & FRIENDLY GIRL: Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 19 lbs.

Hi there, I’m Lori! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my forever family. I just went into a foster home, so we’ll be learning even more about me soon-but for now, just know I’m already feeling grateful, hopeful, and excited for this new chapter!  I needed a good dental cleaning when I arrived, so I’ve had that.  I’m also heartworm positive and I’ll be treated for that in early April and I hope to be with my new family before my treatment starts. 

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.    

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  The volunteers report that I’m a very friendly and happy girl with a sweet and calm nature. I was a superb bather-relaxed in the tub and so patient during my extensive ear cleaning. I have a peaceful side, but I’m also a happy and playful pup who enjoys having fun. / Energy Level: 3–5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program, so, I've mastered 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. My ‘sit’ and ‘down’ commands need to be on soft surfaces please as I don’t like doing those on a hard surface. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I’ve had a few accidents on the shelter schedule, but not too many, so please keep me on a good schedule and I think I’ll do well.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love spending time with the nice volunteers and having fun too. Pup-Peroni treats are a big favorite, and I’ll happily smile for the camera-the photographer even said I was a sweet, fun, and friendly subject! I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we’ll like doing together / I can’t think of any dislikes but 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 spayed. I’ve just had a dental cleaning with a few extractions, so my mouth is fresh again.  Since I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, I'm HW positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that in early April and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet, so local adoption please.  I hope to be with my family before treatment starts. Since I'm a Dachshund mix, I naturally have a long back which is subject to injury, so please don't allow me to jump on and off furniture so we can keep me safe and healthy.

I’m a darling little pup 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
