Story
AN ADORABLE FRIEND: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 21 lbs. & needs to lose weight Hi, my name’s Palmer! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be here getting all the love and good care that I needed (see medical section below). I got to spend some time in a temporary foster home and enjoyed that very much and now I’m back at the shelter dreaming of finding my very own family! The shelter is a bit stressful for me, so hopefully I won’t have to wait too long. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in a great foster home and got along just fine with the older dog who lived there. We just sniffed each other and went about our business. If you have a nice doggy at home that isn’t looking for a playmate, let’s meet! / I was curious about the kitty in my short break foster home, but they were not interested in me, so we co-existed together well. All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with another cat. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me or that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet guy with a fairly laid back and chill personality. The volunteers also say that I’m happy to be with them, cuddly and adorable, and that I’ll bring lots of joy to my new family. I was curious and well-behaved in my temp. foster home, happily showing off my friendly demeanor. / My energy level is 4-6 (a little lower in my temp. foster home). • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I look forward to learning lots of great commands with my trainer. I was familiar with both the ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ command in my temp. foster home, and I look forward to learning even more! Check back soon to see what I have mastered. / I’ve had good crate manners, both at the shelter and in my temp. foster home. / I’ve only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule and had good potty habits in my temp. foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I have a great sniffer and love to explore my surroundings with my nose, so let’s go on some ‘discovery walks’ together. Not only will it be fun, but it will also help me drop a few pounds, which I need to do to reach my healthy weight. I love long naps and all the cuddles that come from being with my people! / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on my annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’ve just had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again! I’m on the green bean diet at the shelter to help me lose some weight and I take an over-the-counter joint supplement which is good for all older dogs. The shelter is a bit stressful for me, so I’m taking an anxiety medication that I think I’ll be able to wean off once I’m settled in my new home. I had a large lipoma/fatty mass on my neck, and it has been removed and my fur is starting to grow back in that area now. I’m not wearing a collar yet, but a harness while I continue to heal. I also have a grade 2 heart murmur that doesn't need medication at this time. I am looking for a great family to give me a loving, furever home! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. December 5, 2025, 6:37 am
