Story
A FUN COMPANION: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 21 lbs. Hi, my name’s Cherish! I came to Mostly Mutts with another doggie friend from animal control who has already been adopted and now it’s my turn! I am grateful for the love and attention I am receiving in my wonderful foster home, and I look forward to finding my very own family soon! I was adopted for a month, but, though they loved me dearly, it just wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with my foster ready to find my perfect match - perhaps that’s you? • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I came to Mostly Mutts with another dog and we got along fine. When I was with Mostly Mutts previously, I was a little reactive to some dogs I met. In my adoptive home, I wasn’t reactive to the dogs I met with the family, so perhaps it will depend on the dog. If you have a dog at home already, let’s meet along with a trainer and see how we do together. / My former adoptive family reported that I was good with the family cats. All cats are different though, so I’m not sure how I would do with another cat. / I haven’t met kids yet, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet girl who has already won the hearts of my foster family, and I’d love to win yours, too! They say I’m a “wonderful dog” with short bursts of playful energy, though my true calling seems to be keeping an eye on my surroundings - I like to stay alert and see what’s going on beyond the fence or out the window (it’s my self-appointed job, lol!). I’m affectionate, but I also stay busy with my little patrol duties, so my cuddle sessions tend to be on the shorter side. In my previous home, I showed I’m quite the athlete - I could climb and jump their fence to chase after small critters as I do have a high prey drive. I’ll need a secure setup to keep me safe while I do my important “watching” work. / My energy level is 4-6, and sometimes a little higher. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don’t know any commands yet, but I am treat-motivated, and – if I am as serious about training as I am about overseeing my foster home – I think you can teach me some great doggie commands. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s do some training together. / I’ve had excellent crate manners in my foster home and did well in my former adoptive home as well. / My fosters say my potty manners are good and I learned how to use a doggie door in their home. My former adoptive family also reported that I had good potty manners. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I like hanging out watching the world go by – in fact, if there is a window, I want to be looking out of it. Exploring my foster’s backyard is really fun too, but I must have a high fence and please stay with me to make sure I don’t try to climb or jump it! Being on the back of the couch snuggled in a comfy blanket is my idea of the perfect perch. I like my walks and will wag my tail for a treat along the way. / I did not like the bath sprayer during my shelter bath and held to the side of the tub for dear life, though I’m sure I’ll adjust to bathing in my new home. Other than that, 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 am looking for a great home where I will be a ‘cherished’ family member (do you see what I did there?). My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. April 27, 2026, 8:17 am
