Story
A HANDSOME FRIENDLY FELLOW: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 35 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, but didn’t enjoy sharing with a different larger golden doodle in another – perhaps he was just too energetic for me. 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 very proud of my 8-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’, ‘stay’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’, and ‘place’ commands. I also walk nicely on a leash and accept friendly strangers without jumping. 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 homes. / 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 and when there’s too much going on. 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. January 22, 2026, 12:13 pm
