Story
A SWEET & SLIGHTLY TIMED FRIEND: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 42 lbs. Hi, my name is Aimee! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. I was a bit unsure when I first came to the shelter with other dogs barking, but the volunteers took their time with me, and – once out of my room, my personality started to shine through brightly. Now I’m ready to find a family of my very own! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and showed fearful, nervous behavior when they came near me. I will be retested again in the future as I get more confident in my skin, but I may need to be your only dog. The barking dogs at the shelter make me uncomfortable. In addition to the shelter dogs, I was fearful of dogs I saw during a sleepover in a home recently – even those smaller than me. It is possible that I would get along with a mellow, quiet dog. If you have a dog like this at home, let’s meet with my trainer! / I was interested in the kitty I saw from across the room while on my sleepover, but not in an aggressive way. I performed a well-known doggie/kitty duet: she growled and hissed while I quietly ‘sang’ and wagged my tail. If you have a dog-friendly (or dog-tolerant) kitty, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / I really enjoyed the company (and belly rubs) of the teenage kids who were at my sleepover. We played and snuggled and I loved it! I also met kids at Mostly Mutts and was shyer and more timid with them, so environment may have a bit to do with that. I think calm kids 10 and older will be best and let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: Though scared upon first meeting the volunteers, I warmed up when they went slow with me. Once I was out and about, I relaxed more, and my true nature began to emerge. At my sleepover, I was super sweet, very playful, attentive, happy, and active with the mom and teens. I seemed fearful of the husband, so if there’s a man in my new family, please love me and know that you may have to win me over. The volunteers have noticed how smart and curious I am, so I bet I will impress you, too. My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I will be learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer. I’m working on being comfortable on my leash, so please keep a good hold of it, and I already know the ‘sit’ command. Check back soon to see what else I have learned! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, as well as in the home where I had my sleepover. / I've been having just a few accidents on the shelter schedule and just 1 during my spend the night. Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can learn the routine and master my potty skills. • LIKES/DISLIKES: At my spend the night I enjoyed deck time with the family and playing with stuffed animals. Their fenced yard was great fun for running zoomies at top speed and exploring for sticks, etc. I would enjoy a fenced yard in my new home to play with you in. When it is time to chill, I love to collect all snuggles. / Loud noises and passing cars startle me, so perhaps we can find a quieter place to walk than the busy sidewalk next to traffic around the shelter. Also – not really a ‘dislike’, but I seem wary of men and prefer the company of women at the shelter and in my spend the night. Otherwise, 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 spayed. I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. March 27, 2024, 9:48 am
