LOOKING FOR A LOVING FAMILY: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 17 lbs. Hi there, I’m Morty! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my forever family to come and adopt me. I was adopted for about a week, but I had a bit too much playful energy for the older dog in the home, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts in a wonderful foster home while I wait to find my new family. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along with and love to play a lot with the 2 female dogs in my foster home, and I enjoy meeting other dogs on my walks in the neighborhood. / I get along with the kitty in my foster home, occasionally rubbing noses when we see each other! All cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with another kitty. / I enjoy the gentle special needs older daughter who has a smaller stature and will frequently cuddle up next to her. I haven’t met young kids, so let’s say 10+ could be a good fit and of course let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me. Kids should be old enough to use caution around doors as I’m a bit of a flight risk currently. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet, affectionate, friendly, and playful little cutie-pie who’s also on the quiet and timid side. I will be on the lookout for moving critters, so I’ll enthusiastically give chase if I get the chance—and I can be a digger, too! I was a little nervous around some men when I first came to MM, but I love my foster dad and have enjoyed meeting other nice neighbors on my walks. Once I feel safe, I’m a whole lot of fun and love sharing my playful personality. With time and understanding, my loving personality continues to shine. / Energy level: I’m in the 4-6 level energy range once I’m comfortable in my environment—though I have more energy when I’m excited such as 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’ command and walk well on my leash for my foster mom. I also understand what ‘no’ means and I seem to know my name and will come when my foster mom calls me. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s do some training together. / I’m not crated in my foster home, though I did well in a crate in my temporary home. / My potty manners have been successful on my foster's schedule. I initially marked in the house over the first few days, but this behavior has resolved. My potty manners were also reported to be good in my temp. home. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with my foster dog sisters and running around the backyard with them and going for neighborhood walks. Chasing squeaky toys, chewing on Benebones, and soaking up belly rubs are some of my favorite things, and I especially enjoy cuddling with my foster mom and spending time with her. I also love to chew on wood and anything else I happen to find on the floor, so keeping tempting items picked up will help me make good choices! / I don’t respond well to harsh corrections, they make me cower or even have an accident—so I do best with gentle, positive guidance. And like all dogs, 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 neutered. I came in needing cherry eye surgery in both eyes and thankfully Mostly Mutts had had that done for me. I occasionally take Benadryl for little allergies as needed which is helpful—just ask about this. I’m looking for a patient, gentle and loving family that will show me I’m safe and loved! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. August 21, 2026, 7:55 pm
