Story
A SWEET, ACTIVE & PLAYFUL GUY: Approx. 6 years / Approx. 40 lbs. Hello, I’m Alex! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am so grateful that they have taken me into their program so I can find a new family to love and be loved by! I was adopted for a few weeks, but they realized I needed more exercise than they could provide. I spent some time in the prison/foster training program and had a blast! Now I’m ready to find my furever family! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’ve met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them a lot, so if you have a very playful dog at home who would like a buddy, let’s meet! My trainer thinks that I’d benefit from having a dog playmate in my new home to help me burn off some energy and pal around with, especially when you aren’t home. / Cats unknown. / I met nice kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them as well as in a home I visited! When we played, I was a little mouthy and jumpy, so a home with kids ages 10 and up could be a good fit for me, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a super sweet and affectionate fellow with a very active nature who wants to be very active with my family! I’m a real people dog and have great focus – which is wonderful for my continued training. I am a masterful high jumper, so best not to leave me unattended in a yard. Perhaps we can learn agility together for fun! I heard one of the volunteers say that I’m a happy and goofy boy . . . his 11-year-old son even specifically requested to take me out for a second day trip . . . sounds like a ringing endorsement to me! I’m showing some separation anxiety so I’d love a family member who is home a lot, perhaps a stay-at-home or work-from-home person that I could hang out with and be active with too. I think I’d also be a good candidate for doggie daycare which sounds fun to me! / My energy level is very high at 9-10 so I need regular exercise please. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and in the prison/foster training program for 3 – 4 hours at a time, but I wouldn’t want to spend a lot of time in a crate. / My potty manners have been good at MM’s and on the prison/foster training program schedule too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I like toys (especially tennis balls and stuffed toys) and love to play, so I look forward to lots of play sessions with you. A fenced yard would be great in my new home, but I may dig, so – as mentioned above, don’t leave me there unattended. I like to splash in my water pail so maybe I’m a water dog in the making, lol. I enjoy getting affection and will reward you with nice kisses. I also enjoy walks, so let’s go lots of places together and of course be active! / Other than what’s mentioned above 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 vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’ve started 2 medications for some separation anxiety and not getting as much exercise as I need, and they are helping! So just ask for more information about that. I am looking for a home where my family will be active with me, and we’ll have lots of fun! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. April 25, 2024, 7:01 am
