Story
A SWEET & FRIENDLY GIRL: 5 years old / 42 lbs. Hi, my name’s Devonny! Somehow, I ended up at animal control, and Mostly Mutts rescued me. I obviously had a home at some point, but likely not the best care, as my ears were cropped at home and was likely painful. Thankfully, now I’m soaking up all the love from the Mostly Mutts volunteers and look forward to a better life ahead. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’ve met a few other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I am starting to play with them. The barking dogs still make me a little nervous, but I have not shown any aggression. If you have a nice, quieter dog at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. My temp. foster said I tried to lunge at some dogs on our walks so please be mindful of this, tell me to ‘leave it’ and keep a good hold of my leash. / Cats unknown. / I met a nice boy and a girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so a home with kids ages 10+ could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet! Children should not walk me since I am strong and sometimes reactive to other dogs. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I have a sweet nature and was a bit shy, but the attention of the volunteers helped me feel more comfortable every day. My sweet nature is emerging, and I am warming up quickly now to the love that comes my way. I really enjoy being petted and snuggling up to people. I am even showing more of my playful side now. My temp. foster said that I was cautious and a bit scared, sometimes trying to jump up on or toward any new people on our walks, so please help me meet new people calmly. He also said that I looked to him on our walks so I have good focus and this should help with my continued training. / My energy level is 4-6, but this may increase a bit as I begin to feel better after my heart worm treatment. • 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 have learned the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘place’ commands so far and am sure to learn even more, so check back soon to see what else I have learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. My temp. foster said sometimes I didn’t want to go in and other times I would use it to relax I may have an adjustment period in my new home. / My potty manners are good on the shelter schedule and were good in my temp. foster home too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: Now that I am feeling comfortable at the shelter, I am showing an affinity for head scratches and lots of petting. I like Kongs filled with peanut butter or other treats – yum! Toys don’t interest me yet, but perhaps you can show me how much fun they can be. / Other than loud traffic noise and sudden movements, 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. Unfortunately, my previous owner did not keep me on a monthly heartworm preventative, so I came to Mostly Mutts heartworm positive. Thankfully, I’ve been treated for it and have finished my recovery period. I will have my heartworm re-check in October so local adoption is best, please. I am looking for a loving home with a great family for life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. June 1, 2023, 6:09 am
