Story
A VERY SWEET ‘SPECIAL NEEDS’ GUY: Approx. 13 years old / Approx. 27 lbs. Hi, my name is Tony! I had a home, but – sadly – my owner passed away. Fortunately, I made my way to Mostly Mutts and am spending time in a great foster home now. I am ready to find a new home where I can love and be loved by my new family! I needed bloodwork done before my eye removal and neuter surgery, and I've had that now thanks to a generous grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’ve been great with the other dogs in my foster home and even share dog beds with them. I WILL try to investigate the food bowls of others at mealtime, so monitoring is best during feeding. I’d likely enjoy a gentle dog in my new home to casually pal around with, so if you have a nice doggie at home, let’s meet! / I pretty much ignore the cats in my foster home. But – as with my doggie friends, I will try to help clean the kitty food bowls – lol. All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with another cat. / I have been just wonderful with the kids (age 10 and 13) who visit my foster home. Children in my new home may be nice, but best they are old enough to respect my limited sight and deafness, and – of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When describing my super sweet personality, my foster says I am ‘an absolute lovebug’ to all people I’ve met while with them. I’m pretty much their shadow throughout the day and – though I do some vocalizing when separated from my people, I’ve never been destructive in my foster home. I would like a stay-at-home or work-from-home family member like I have in my foster home to be my happiest. A happy guy that doesn't seem to let anything break my stride, I’ll occasionally show a pep in my step and channel my playful side, but I mostly just want to collect the love. Since I don’t hear, I’ll need my family to make sure I’m kept safe from danger that I would otherwise hear, and my sight is a bit limited, though I do still see out of my remaining eye pretty well – over time that may or may not diminish. / My energy level is 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am deaf, so my foster family uses hand gestures to get me to come to them. / I’ve not been crated in my foster home and have not needed a crate. / I do great on a schedule with my potty manners, and I'll sometimes go to a door when I need to go outside. My foster is working with me on correcting some marking indoors. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love to hang out with my people and get snuggles whenever possible. My foster keeps a dog bed near them while they work, and I am super content to hang out there – just to be near them. I’m also very food motivated – mealtime is a favorite of mine. Another fun pastime is walking around the garden area sniffing everything. I may be deaf and be missing an eye, but my nose works just fine, as I enjoy exploring all the smells with my sniffer. / Other than not liking to be away from people, I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention in my senior years. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I only have a few teeth left, but that’s ok - I can eat just fine. Since I’m an older fellow, keeping me on a good over the counter joint supplement called Cosequin is always a good idea. I am looking for a loving home with a family who will open their hearts to a sweet senior for life! My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. March 8, 2026, 7:16 am
