Story
A LITTLE GUY WITH A BIG PERSONALITY: Approx. 11 years old / Approx. 20 lbs. & needs to lose a few lbs. Hi, I’m Abe! I was adopted from Mostly Mutts 5 years ago and I sure loved my family, but they needed to help some other family members that were in need and unfortunately, the new members of the family were very allergic to me. It broke my people’s hearts to return me, but they had to, and now they are hopeful that I’ll find a new family who will love me as much as they did! Perhaps you? I needed a good dental cleaning which I have received thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: My former family reported that I liked some dogs, but not all dogs, and that I’m slow to warm up to new dogs. I’ve also met some dogs at MM and I showed some avoiding behavior but no aggression. So, if you have a mellow kind of dog, let’s meet. / My family reported that I shouldn’t live with kitties. / My former family also reported that I would not want to live with kids. Perhaps if you have older calm teens, we could meet. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: Since coming back to Mostly Mutts, I remember quite a few of the volunteers I knew and loved before and we’re good pals again. In fact, I’m enjoying the attention and belly rubs I’m getting from the many nice volunteers. My former family reported that I am slow to warm up to new people but that I’m the kind of dog who loves his family deeply! I really enjoyed my photo shoot and the treats that came with it and the photographer said that I was a happy little guy! I was also friendly and playful with the assessment team, so yay me! / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m enrolled in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’, ‘drop it’, and ‘go to your place’ commands as well as accepting nice strangers without jumping and waiting at doors before walking in/out. / My former family reported that I was crate trained and I’m doing well at MM too. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule and my former family also reported that I was potty trained. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love belly rubs and hanging out with my people! Walks are also fun and can help me lose the few pounds that I need to lose so I can be at my healthiest weight. / I don’t think I’d like to be alone for an 8-hour workday, since in my former home, the most I was alone was 4 hours a day. Since I can be slower to warm up to new people, I wouldn’t want strangers to approach me too fast – just give me a little time and let me come to you. I’m thankful for the dental cleaning but was not a fan of going to the vet’s office. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I need to lose a few pounds, so please help me do that. I just had a dental cleaning, and 1 tooth pulled, so my mouth is feeling good again! I am looking for a great family that will treasure me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga July 26, 2024, 11:37 am
