Story
August 19, 2026 - I am back at Act2Pups, I lost my Mom unexpectedly. I'm getting vetted and settling back into rescue. I found myself out on my own until I was taken to a noisy scary place called the county shelter. I didn’t have a micro-chip and no one came to find me so I stayed in a small cage for a week until a nice person rescued me. I didn’t look too bad, but I was rushed to the vet after a few days of not eating. The vet discovered I had an infection, and pancreatitis. After some emergency treatment I went home and started on a low fat diet. I’m doing very well now. I’m a quiet little man and I have eyes that look clear into my soul. My hearing isn't very good. I do get along just fine with all my housemates so another small pup would be fine. I’m just the right age and weight for the right family.

Story
Oliver is an 8 year old, 11 lb Maltese with a sweet, gentle personality. After spending his early years in a puppy mill, he’s shy with new people and situations, but once he feels safe, he’s a loving little companion who enjoys being close to his people. Oliver would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. He’s is warming up to men, although he tends to trust women more quickly. While Oliver is fostered with other animals, he doesn’t love sharing his humans’ attention with them, so he would be happiest as an only pet. He isn’t destructive and doesn’t need to be crated, as crates can make him feel protective. Oliver does wear a belly band indoors. If you have a calm home and the patience to let Oliver settle in at his own pace, you’ll gain a devoted little friend. To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org His adoption fee is $300, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.

Story
Miss Cannoli is a 9-year-old, 9-pound Chihuahua/Maltese mix with a sweet and friendly personality. Don’t let her age fool you—she’s an active little lady who loves walks, playtime with toys, and exploring the world around her. Miss Cannoli is an escape artist if she is not getting the exercise she craves. She cannot go to a home with kids bc she is door darter and need someone able to work on this with her. I truly think if she could get into a home that loves to go for walks to wear her out and stimulate her brain, she wouldn’t feel the needs to explore.

Konner is a very special pet. He is 9yrs old with the spirit of a puppy. He's energetic, extremely sweet, loving, protective, and playful. He is easy to love. He enjoys days at the park, playing, and relaxing in bed. He is looking for a loving home and an owner that appreciates his unique personality.As his current owner, Konner adds so much spark into my life. He attracts so much attention and enjoys being around people and other dogs. I hope to find him the best new home filled with love and positivity.

Story
A SHY GIRL WHO'S BLOSSOMING: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 14 lbs. Hi, I'm Virginia! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a new home. I was adopted for a couple of weeks, but it wasn't a good fit, so I'm back with Mostly Mutts looking for my new family. I hope to meet them very soon and start living a great life together!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met dogs at Mostly Mutts and have made a great friend or two that are around my age and size, and we just love playing together in the MM play yard. I however didn't like the energy of a puppy, so if you have a friendly playful dog at home perhaps around my age and size, let's meet! / Cats unknown. / Best no kids. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: The shelter is a lot for me to take in but I'm doing my best! I like it when the volunteers take things slowly with me and let me get to know them—then I'm just a love. I really enjoy my trainer and like spending time with her—she's a good leader. Speaking of a good leader, that's what I would like. Please don't treat me like a baby and carry me around as I love being a dog and want to be part of the whole family! I showed guarding behaviors of my person in the home of my temporary adoptive family while being carried. My trainer has worked with me on this, so just ask about that please and they will be very happy to share successful strategies for managing guarding behavior. I think I would be happiest in a calm and low traffic home without a lot of visitors. / Energy level: 3-5 at the shelter, but I think it will increase once I'm settled in my new home.     • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer! Check back soon to see what I've learned and let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / I'm doing well in my crate at Mostly Mutts and slept well in it at my former home in their bedroom at night. They said that it seemed to be my decompression place—so I liked it. / I'm working on my potty manners, so I'll need my family to help me finish this training up.    • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love belly rubs and gentle head scratches! I also really enjoy when people talk gently and give me a little extra time to get to know them. Once I'm comfortable with you, I love following my people around and being close by. I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we like doing together in our new home! / Being rushed scares me, so just give me some time, 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 spayed. I needed a dental cleaning and thankfully, Mostly Mutts has done that for me.   I'm a little sweetie looking for a wonderful family that will help me continue to blossom! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.  September 25, 2026, 10:26 am

Story
A ‘SPECIAL NEEDS’ CUTIE PIE:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 15 lbs.   Hello - I’m Neo! I was found on some railroad tracks by a good Good Samaritan.  After completing my stray hold through animal control, I spent a couple of weeks with them, during which I was treated for pneumonia.  Wanting me to have the loving home I deserve, they helped me make my way to Mostly Mutts, where I’ve continued receiving great care.  My medical needs have been addressed, and while I’m still a special needs pup, I’m doing much better.  I will need ongoing medication and care, but I’m so happy that I’m ready to find a loving home of my very own! (See below for medical details.)     • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I get along great with the pack of pups in my current foster home – from the Chihuahua to the Shepherd mix – we are good buddies!  If you have a nice doggy at home, let’s meet! / Though I initially gave chase to the kitties in my foster home, I’ve learned not to do that and am now pretty calm around them.  All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with other kitties. / I would do best with older children.  Smaller children that may spook me could risk a nip.  So, let’s meet if you have older children. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet guy with a friendly and gentle nature.  A happy little guy who loves to be with my people, I will also take time to sprawl out on the floor and look out the windows.  I can sometimes be a little vocal when I am happy and then I like to roll around on the floor and be silly – what fun!  Sometimes I’m up for snuggling in a lap, while other times I prefer just being near you on the floor.  I’m a delightful and happy little guy.  / Energy level: 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  In my foster home, I’ve learned what ‘harness’ means when this is put on or taken off (I should only use a harness for walks and not have a collar attached to a leash due to my trachea challenges. In my foster home, I ‘come’ when called, and ‘go out’ when we go outside.  I formerly knew the ‘sit’ and ‘leave it’ commands, though I haven’t practiced those in a little while.  Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s continue my training together. / I’m not crated in my foster home. / My potty habits are a work in progress.  I do pretty well on a schedule and have improved at going while on a leash.  So, please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can continue to improve. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love my walks and have a fun little prance in my step.  Toys are fun, and I enjoy shaking them playfully or carrying them around.  I’m more energetic outside and love to play outside with my people – but shouldn’t do much outside time when it’s very hot and humid due to my health challenges. / I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  I have severe collapsing trachea (so I do cough a good bit) as well as an enlarged heart.  I’m on a few prescription medications for these conditions that I’ll need to stay on for life.  Please ask about this so the folks at Mostly Mutts can fill you in on everything.  You may notice from my pictures that I have some tartar and yellowing of my teeth, but I cannot have a dental cleaning due to my trachea and heart challenges, but there are over the counter things you can try with me for dental health – once your vet approves them of course.  Ask about me to learn all the things I’ve overcome as I continue to be a wonderful companion.  I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful furever family that will love me and continue to meet my needs!  My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  September 25, 2026, 10:26 am
