Story
A WONDERFUL LITTLE FRIEND: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 17 lbs. Hi, I'm Darla! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a home! Thankfully, they took me in, and I am soaking up all the love and attention from the volunteers here and I heard them say that I'm now ready to find a family of my very own. I think that is the best news ever! Plan to come meet me soon and see if I am your new furry family member! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and did not like them, so I'd like to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.      • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a friendly, happy girl with an active, fun-loving personality and plenty of pep in my step! I can be a little skittish at times, so a little patience and reassurance will help me feel comfortable. I was super calm for my shampoo and ear cleaning during my spa treatment, although the water sprayer made me a bit nervous, so I braced myself against the edge of the tub and did well. I enjoyed my time in the Mostly Mutts playpen and showed everyone what a lovable, happy girl I am. I also enjoyed sitting in my volunteer's lap and soaking up some cuddles. And have you noticed my adorably big ears? They're pretty hard to miss and just add to my irresistible charm! Somehow I got some pup-cup on them when I got to go on a fun daytrip recently lol. I wasn't sure about getting in the car at first so the nice volunteer helped me in and then, oh boy, it was so much fun! We sniffed ALL the plants at Lowe's, steered clear of the questionable Halloween décor, said a respectful hello to the critters at Tractor Supply and had a great time greeting all the people at the park. I could get used to all these adventures. Want to take me with you? / Energy level: 4-6.     • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer! I can be a little reactive to other dogs when leash walking so I am working this now. 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! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, though I do sometimes come out fast. / I've had good potty manners at the shelter, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too.    • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cozy laps and hanging out with the nice volunteers! I also enjoy being active and having fun with my people. Once we're together in my new home, I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we love doing together! / I'm a little timid of the loud traffic near the shelter and sometimes "pancake" or pull away so maybe we could find a quieter place to walk 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'm a wonderful little dog looking for a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.  September 17, 2026, 4:38 pm

Story
    Hello, my name is Linky West! I'm around 9 years old and I weigh about 15-20 pounds. I think I'm a rat terrier mix. I'm spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, healthy, and ready to find my new home! I'm house trained and have learned to walk on a leash fairly well. I do not like crates for more than a short period of time, but that's okay because I can be left out without any worry of mischief making. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was very scared and unsure. Over time, I have settled in and come to love it here. I'm so much more happy and confident. I discovered that I love toys and cuddling. I also love treats! Now that I am more confident, I have found my voice and will let you know any time something even remotely interesting is going on in the house or the neighborhood, so I'd do best in a home that did not share walls with neighbors. I live with four other dogs right now. I prefer gentle, easy going dogs and do not care for bossy or dominant dogs. I also lived with cats in my last home. My favorite companion is my human though. Once I get to know you, I will adore you! Where you go, I go. I must insist that I sit on the couch with you and sleep in bed with you.    An odd quirk I have is that I get scared when someone tries to handle me (like a vet) or put something on my body (like a harness). If you slow down and speak sweetly, it helps me calm down a bit. My other request is a securely fenced yard. This is because I sometimes try to dart out the door and run wild, and also because I'm still working on my leash skills.  I'm really enjoying life in my foster home, but I am ready to find my new forever home!   An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          September 17, 2026, 12:51 pm

Story
Introducing Millie! This sweet 3-year-old Rat Terrier comes as part of a duo: she's bonded with Jack, and the two must find their new home together. Millie is deeply affectionate with her person and thrives on that special one-on-one bond. She's a bit cautious with unfamiliar faces at first and needs time to build trust, so we're hoping to find her a home without small children where she can adjust comfortably. Millie already has the basics down pat: she's both leash trained and house trained, making her transition into a new home much easier. A small-breed-suitable fenced yard is also a must, giving her a safe space to romp and relax outdoors. Devoted, gentle, and bonded to her best friend Jack, Millie is hoping for a family patient enough to win her heart and give her the forever love she deserves. Millie's estimated birthdate is June 2023 and she weighs about 12 pounds. Her adoption fee is $315 and she is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. To learn more about Jack & Millie, complete an adoption survey at furkids.org and a team member will get in touch with you to schedule an in-person meeting. You must be 21+ to adopt.

Story
We adopted Dom about four weeks ago. My son and I have been waiting on getting a dog till I rented a house with a big fenced in backyard. A few months ago we got that house. Unfortunately, there was nothing in my lease about a pet fee. The owner said pets are OK if it’s a cat or a small dog. Did not realize it was gonna be over $1000 a year which I cannot afford Also, I’ve crate and potty trained him and installed a doggie door going to the backyard. I work 8 to 10 hours a day six days a week. I do come home at lunch to take him for a walk, then take him for a long walk after I get off. I did not realize Jack Russell‘s need way way more exercise than all the labradors I’ve had. He has dug under the fence multiple times, which is causing a huge issue. I hate leaving him in a crate more than a few hours.Just want Dom to live somewhere more appropriate for his needs.
