Story
A FRIENDLY & ADORABLE GUY: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 20 lbs. Hi, my name is Tex! I had a home, as I was adopted from Mostly Mutts a few years ago. Unfortunately, my family fell on hard times, so I am back with Mostly Mutts looking for a new family to love! Though I’m not the best at smiling for the camera and my pictures may make me look a little grumpy, I am NOT a grumpy boy, but rather friendly and adorable! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I like the older dog in my foster home, and the 2 younger and smaller dogs I met recently too! I do growl at the mostly blind dog when he bumps into me or approaches me in my dog bed, so my foster corrects that behavior and I try to listen, but I don’t love being bumped by him. I do nap with him at times though. I met a puppy too that invaded my personal space and I barked at her to let her know this, though I was tolerant. So, if you have another dog, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, but I am working on my ‘happy to see you’ jumping, so my foster recommends no very young kids that I may bump over and let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When asked, the volunteers at the shelter describe me with one main word – sweet, sweet, sweet! I was always excited to see them, since I am very much a people dog. I seek out attention whenever I can and have been very friendly. When guests leave my foster home, I may tug at their pants as if to stay, ‘no wait, don’t go’! My foster has started picking me up to watch guests leave as it keeps me calm. I am a ‘wonderful gentleman’ just looking for a family to love and be loved by! In my foster home, they say that I’m a sweet, friendly, gentle, and a mannerly gentleman too! / My energy level is 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’ command and have shown great leash manners. I bet you can teach me even more! I take treats gently too. I consider it my job to be an alert barker like when a delivery person pulls up or a squirrel runs by, and sometimes I bark with the other dogs. I think I may bark a bit too much at all the noises that are in an apartment building, so probably best no apartment/condo type home. / I don’t need a crate in my foster home. / I had a few accidents on the shelter schedule but am doing well in my foster home as long as I’m taken out often enough. My foster has pee pads for her own dog that I’ve learned to potty on, if I need to go and can’t get outside, so you may want to consider having those for me too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I thrive on attention and love being with people! Scratches and head kisses make me happy, and I enjoy sitting next to my foster family, but not really in their laps. I’m not a big fan of toys, but I sure would be a fan of being your loving companion! / Though I ride very well in the car, my foster doesn’t think that I love to do that. I can’t think of any real 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 had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is clean again. Since I’m an older fellow, I take an over-the-counter Cosequin supplement that’s good for all older dogs. I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. April 27, 2024, 2:14 pm
