Story
A SWEET & HANDSOME FELLOW: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 54 lbs. Hi, my name is Luka! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control with a very overgrown coat. It was tightly tangled and caused a good bit of pain as a result, so I had to be completely shaved down and now it’s growing back in fluffy and beautiful. I also developed happy tail, so my tail has been docked and I’m no longer in pain from that. Thanks to lots of good veterinary and volunteer care and kindness, I’m feeling great now! I’ll need regular grooming to keep my coat in good shape and that is a bit costly for a dog my size, so make sure you’re prepared to have me regularly groomed. I got to spend a few days in a temporary foster home during the cold weather and had a good time! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I love playing with them! My trainer thinks I’d love living with another dog and that I would benefit from it, too, so if you have a nice dog at home who loves playing with other dogs, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no very young kids that I may bump over as I’m a bit jumpy right now. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet, wonderful, and very nice boy who might be a little shy when it comes to photos, but my true personality shines once I feel comfortable. I did great at the vet after being shaved - they even sent a video of me soaking up all the rubs and loving every minute of it. Right now, I’m on a couple of anxiety medications due to the stress of the shelter and the pain I was in, but with a nice loving home, I believe I’ll be able to wean off them once I’m settled in. / Energy level: 5-7 at the shelter, and a little higher in my temp. foster home at 6-8. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘down, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands so far and I look forward to learning even more. I’m working on my leash manners as I do pull a lot currently. I also seem to have a learned behavior of turning around and jumping on people as well as jumping and hugging them, so my trainer is working with me to help me un-learn these. Check back soon to see how it’s going. / The crate isn’t my favorite place, and at times I can be reluctant to go back inside it unless the door is already open when I return from my shelter walks. I’m hoping my new home won’t require me to spend much time crated. I’m working with a trainer who is helping me with this, and they’ll be happy to offer guidance for my future family as I did nip a volunteer during a crating moment. / I have had good potty manners on the shelter schedule, and in my temp. foster home, so yay me! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love soaking up pets, working with my trainer and spending time with the nice volunteers as well as other playful dogs. I also enjoyed bones and antlers when I was in my temp. foster. I’m sure we’ll discover plenty of other things to enjoy together, too. / I haven’t shown any dislikes since being properly groomed, but 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 neutered. I’m on 2 medications for shelter stress that I think I’ll be able to wean off of once I’m settled in my new home. I get a soothing oatmeal bath weekly, and this can be done in my new home. I’m also on a medication for my skin/itching since my fur was so tight and I think I’ll be able to come off of that as well given a little time. I’m a great dog looking for a great home and family to love that will take great care of me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. February 4, 2026, 6:20 am
