Story
A FUN, PLAYFUL & ACTIVE GUY: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 40 lbs. Hi, my name is Asher! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, & I’m very grateful. The volunteers are taken with my unusual breed mix, my handsome ginger brindle coat, & compact body. I bet you will be, too! I was selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot! I am currently in a wonderful foster home, waiting for my match! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I enjoy playing with & going for walks with other dogs I’ve met at Mostly Mutts, but I should not live with another dog as I have guarded toys & dog beds from them. I can be barky/reactive when I see other dogs – not to worry – my trainer will show you exactly how to introduce me to other dogs, so let’s meet! / No cats! / I get a little excited to see children, so kids age 15+ would be the best fit for me, as I wouldn’t want to bump over younger children & toddlers make me uncomfortable. So, if you have kids 15+ let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a sweet, happy & fun-natured guy who has earned the reputation of being ‘goofy & funny’ around the shelter. I am full of playful energy & am not shy about speaking my mind, so I don’t think an apartment/condo-type home would be a good fit for me. I would love a backyard with a fence, as one of my favorite activities is chasing a ball. I will even bring it back to you as long as you will throw it. My foster parents have realized that I am also very good at entertaining myself inside, so I’d make a good office dog. I really enjoy going on walks & I do enjoy several of them during the day in my foster home. I’m a lot of dog in a medium sized package. I’m also very sweet, protective & fun! I am great in the shower or bath, when my foster parents give me my weekly bath. Affectionate & social with the people I’ve been properly introduced to, I have all the traits of a great companion. I, however, am not the kind of dog you would take to the kids’ sporting events, or a busy park, etc. since I can be reactive. I look forward to meeting all the members of my new home at my adoption! / My energy level is 6–8, so I am looking for a family member who will be active with me. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ & ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette & have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping when properly introduced. I get distracted by sounds I hear on my walk that I don’t recognize, so my trainer used the ‘leave it’ command to keep me on track on our walks. I’m very food motivated, so that makes my training fun & yummy! Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / I did well in my little room at Mostly Mutts. In my foster home, I have perfect crate manners, & easily go into my crate when my foster parents have to leave the house. I even put myself to bed at night, by going into my crate without being asked. / In my foster home, I have had wonderful potty manners with no accidents. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I LOVE toys - especially rubber ones with deep squeakers, Nylabones, & large squeaky tennis balls. I can entertain myself while you’re busy, or we can play fetch together - just throw the ball! A nice, fenced yard would be great for our play sessions. When it’s time to relax, I enjoy lots of petting & cuddles, & I secretly believe I’m a lap dog, so don’t be surprised if I climb up & give you a big hug with my paws on your shoulders. I also like walks, though I’ll need a strong walker since I’m a strong boy & can sometimes be reactive to people & other animals, so let’s go find some quieter places to explore together. I absolutely love car rides, too! / I have been frightened by certain loud motors, the vacuum, doorbells ,etc., but I can be trained not to react to those as I’m smart. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, & training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped & neutered. I may need to wear a muzzle when vetted & for nail trims as this can be frightening to me. I am looking for a dog savvy family where I will be cherished! My adoption fee is $299.00, & I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. August 7, 2026, 6:39 am
