Brittany puppies and dogs in Marietta, Georgia

A SHY BUT VERY SWEET GIRL:  3 years old / 45 lbs. Hi, I’m Gretta!  I found myself at animal control afraid & alone. Thankfully Mostly Mutts came for me & with their patience, reassurance, & love, and I’m learning to relax as well as trust & love people. I got to participate in the prison/foster training program & learned a lot!  Now I’m in a great foster home while I wait for my new family to come & adopt me! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I have not gotten along well with the other dogs I've met, so I would love to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I’ve met a friendly boy & girl who were around 10 years old & enjoyed their company. I have also interacted with children in a home setting & did well, although best no toddlers as I prefer a slow introduction when meeting new people. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am in search of a confident & assertive leader as I respond positively to this type of energy. My foster family describes me as a sweet & intelligent dog who has quickly adapted to their routine. I have learned their names & regularly check on them to ensure their well-being. Once I establish trust with my human companions, I become affectionate & enjoy sharing my kisses generously.  However, I must admit that I have a fear of unfamiliar traffic noises, & I prefer to spend my leisure time in a fenced yard versus walking on a leash. Thus, I am seeking a forever home with a secure outdoor space. My foster family has been patient & consistent in helping me overcome my apprehension towards walking & exploring new places. Through continued practice & fixed daily walking routes, my confidence in these situations will only continue to grow.  During a brief stay with a temporary foster, it took me a couple of days to warm up to my surroundings, so please be patient with me. I enjoy engaging in a growly style of play when I am excited about a game, but I also love nothing more than snuggling on the couch while my temp family is watching TV.  It is essential to note that I am not suited for an apartment environment. / My energy level is moderate, ranging from 5 - 7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  During my time at Mostly Mutts, I’ve participated in the Mostly Mutts University training program & have mastered the 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'come', 'drop it', 'leave it', & 'place' commands.  I also greet friendly strangers without jumping on them, & I practice proper door etiquette, allowing my companion to exit first. While I will need consistent practice to maintain my training, my foster reports that I am always eager to learn new things. / I have demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in crate training, both at Mostly Mutts & in the prison foster/training program. Additionally, I have adapted well in my foster home & have been well-behaved both during the night & when left alone for extended periods. / I have a solid track record of adhering to the shelter potty schedule & did well during my time in the prison/foster program.  I also do very well in my foster home, though I don't bark to signal my need to go outside, I politely sit by the back door when nature calls. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I have a particular fondness for tennis balls, rope toys, & especially Frisbees! I enjoy catching the Frisbee & have been improving my skills at dropping it for another throw. I am an enthusiastic playmate & can be a bit needy in seeking attention from my humans when I want to play. I appreciate lounging in the fenced back yard & taking naps on the deck, which offers me a sense of safety & security. I am confident enough now to run outside through the doggy door to investigate squirrels or shoo away pesky birds, which can be amusing for me. I enjoy receiving belly rubs & especially gentle head massages. / Bath time can be a bit daunting for me, & I tend to growl a bit during the toweling off process, but I have learned to tolerate it with the help of some gentle hugs & encouragement. I dislike sudden noises & walking near traffic noise. I am not fond of unfamiliar people approaching me too quickly or attempting to rush through the process of getting to know me. Thunderstorms can be unsettling for me, but I find comfort in a cozy spot like a chair with a blanket, my crate, or under a bed. Since I thrive on love, attention, & training. Neglecting these needs would not be suitable for me, & I would not be happy in such a situation. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I sometimes chew on my paws & take Benadryl as needed. So, if you’re a patient & loving leader looking for a great friend, let’s meet. Adoption fee $299.00, & I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.May 28, 2023, 11:08 am

Furkids and Blitzen want to thank Classic Subaru of Atlanta for sponsoring his care until he gets adopted! Blitzen has been with Furkids for most of his life and is still looking for a home to call his own! He loves people, is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and gets along with other dogs. Blitzen's foster had Blitzen DNA tested and it turns out that he is a Brittany Spaniel, Vizsla, and Staffy mix! Blitzen loves to play tug with a rope toy and is always up for play. He is well behaved and calm in a home, and gets excited when he is outside! He is a strong boy and should only be walked by the adults in the home. Blitzen weighs 72 lbs., is 2 years old (est. birth date 3/24/2021), and his adoption fee is $175. If you want more information about Blitzen, please submit a survey at https://www.shellterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.
