Story
A ‘SPECIAL NEEDS’ CUTIE PIE: Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 15 lbs. Hello - I’m Neo! I was found on some railroad tracks by a good Good Samaritan. After completing my stray hold through animal control, I spent a couple of weeks with them, during which I was treated for pneumonia. Wanting me to have the loving home I deserve, they helped me make my way to Mostly Mutts, where I’ve continued receiving great care. My medical needs have been addressed, and while I’m still a special needs pup, I’m doing much better. I will need ongoing medication and care, but I’m so happy that I’m ready to find a loving home of my very own! (See below for medical details.) • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along great with the pack of pups in my current foster home – from the Chihuahua to the Shepherd mix – we are good buddies! If you have a nice doggy at home, let’s meet! / Though I initially gave chase to the kitties in my foster home, I’ve learned not to do that and am now pretty calm around them. All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with other kitties. / I would do best with older children. Smaller children that may spook me could risk a nip. So, let’s meet if you have older children. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet guy with a friendly and gentle nature. A happy little guy who loves to be with my people, I will also take time to sprawl out on the floor and look out the windows. I can sometimes be a little vocal when I am happy and then I like to roll around on the floor and be silly – what fun! Sometimes I’m up for snuggling in a lap, while other times I prefer just being near you on the floor. I’m a delightful and happy little guy. / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: In my foster home, I’ve learned what ‘harness’ means when this is put on or taken off (I should only use a harness for walks and not have a collar attached to a leash due to my trachea challenges. In my foster home, I ‘come’ when called, and ‘go out’ when we go outside. I formerly knew the ‘sit’ and ‘leave it’ commands, though I haven’t practiced those in a little while. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s continue my training together. / I’m not crated in my foster home. / My potty habits are a work in progress. I do pretty well on a schedule and have improved at going while on a leash. So, please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can continue to improve. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love my walks and have a fun little prance in my step. Toys are fun, and I enjoy shaking them playfully or carrying them around. I’m more energetic outside and love to play outside with my people – but shouldn’t do much outside time when it’s very hot and humid due to my health challenges. / I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have severe collapsing trachea (so I do cough a good bit) as well as an enlarged heart. I’m on a few prescription medications for these conditions that I’ll need to stay on for life. Please ask about this so the folks at Mostly Mutts can fill you in on everything. You may notice from my pictures that I have some tartar and yellowing of my teeth, but I cannot have a dental cleaning due to my trachea and heart challenges, but there are over the counter things you can try with me for dental health – once your vet approves them of course. Ask about me to learn all the things I’ve overcome as I continue to be a wonderful companion. I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful furever family that will love me and continue to meet my needs! My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. August 19, 2026, 7:37 pm
