Story
A SUPER SWEET & HAPPY GUY:  Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 18 lbs. Hi, my name is Banks!  I joined the Mostly Mutts family when they rescued me from animal control.  I have loved the great care I’ve received from the shelter volunteers and have even spent time in a temporary foster home recently, where I showed what a great family member I can be.  I came to MM in need of a good dental cleaning which I received thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts and I liked them.  When at the park with my temp. foster, I did not bark at the dogs I saw from afar, instead I pulled closer to them as if I wanted to say ‘hello!’.  So, if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / I was respectfully curious with the older cat in my temp. foster home the first time we met.  The second time, I may have gotten too close for a sniff and chased him when he ran.  My temp. foster feels I would likely do well in a home with a dog-friendly kitty, with possibly some initial redirection during introductions. / I liked the kids in my temp. foster home (age 4 and 6).  I was calm around them and let them pet me, so children in my new home may be nice, but best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me.  And, of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’ve showed off my sweet and calm nature for all the shelter volunteers, who agree that I am a snuggly and adorable guy! In my temp. foster home, I was also sweet, loving and gentle and I enjoyed following my foster around a lot and just wanting to be where they were. / My energy level is 3-5 with little bursts of happy play. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a pretty smart fellow, and know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’ commands.  I bet you can teach me even more!  I also ride well in the car, so – let’s go! / My crate manners have been good at the shelter, and I also did well in my short break foster home when they needed to crate me there on a couple of occasions (for 2 and 4 hours, respectively). / My potty habits have been good at the shelter, and I only had two tinkle accidents while in my short break foster home for four days. They took me out on a good schedule (about every 2 hours during the day).  I did go right away when they took me out, but I didn’t signal that I needed to go out, so keep me on a nice frequent schedule and I think I should do well.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I pretty much just want to snuggle and be petted a lot. I’m also a huge fan of those great belly rubs.  While chilling with my people, I like to sleep on pillows and snuggle next to you.  I really enjoy walks at the park, and I can walk a mile, so let’s make time for some great strolls together. / I didn’t like when my foster mom told me ‘no’ for jumping on the table and snagging some goodies.  Otherwise, 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, and a few teeth pulled, so my mouth is fresh again! I am looking for a loving home with a great, furever family!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  October 14, 2024, 6:40 am

Story
Several years ago a good samaritan in Nashville saved me, I was running down the road. She took me in for 3 years, but couldn't afford to take me to the vet. I developed skin and ear issues so she reached out for someone to take me, and here I am getting the health care I need and responding very well. Yes I'm mostly blind, but I'm a gentle fellow that enjoys being petted. I could spend the day sitting on a lap being company and enjoying a persons company. I'm quiet and I would be fine in a small home with a small fenced yard because I love to sit in the sun and snooze.

Story
I came from a backyard breeder in Cartersville. They didn’t want me any more so Act2Pups stepped up and rescued me. I was just a number, I didn’t have a name. I hadn’t been to see a vet and was totally confused to be out of a wire cage. I was allowed to decompress and in a week I was coming out of my shell. All my teeth were rotten so I had them all removed, but I do fine eating wet food. I’ve come a long way and I’m doing great. I’m a sweet gentle fellow that needs a home that will understand what my life was like for so many years.

Story
It appears that I spent a great deal of time on my own. When I was rescued I had mats on my mats and it took hours to clean me up. My photos are now, and a before and after grooming shortly after rescue. I can tell you that I NEVER WANT TO BE NEGLECTED AGAIN, grooming was so painful I screamed. I’m fine with other rescue pups and I’m getting better every day. I hope to be someone's princess soon.

Story
I was in deplorable condition when I ended up at the shelter. It appeared that I was used for breeding and once I couldn’t produce, out the door I went. Matted to the skin, tumors all over my body, awful teeth, and eyes needing a little help. I’ve had lots of surgery, had my teeth cleaned and my eyes are now bright as stars. I'm a little older at 12-13 and only weigh about 12lbs, but I’m quiet, potty trained, and I’m ready for that warm lap and loving touch.

Story
ROSE HAS A REDUCED ADOPTION FEE OF ONLY $50 THROUGH OCTOBER 15TH, THANKS TO THE BISSELL EMPTY THE SHELTERS ADOPTION EVENT. Meet Rose, a senior dog with a heart full of love. Her friendly and sweet nature is sure to melt your heart. Rose is mellow and loves nothing more than a good cuddle. Rose is visually impaired but her spirit is a testament to her resilience. She cannot navigate stairs and sometimes will walk right off a bed/sofa. She will require eye medications for the rest of her life, but don't let that deter you. Rose gets along with other dogs and cats as long as they don't bother her. She would likely not do well with small children, given her vision impairment. Adopting Rose means bringing home a faithful friend who will provide unconditional love and warmth. She deserves a forever home that can offer her the love and patience she needs. Give Rose the chance to fill your home with her gentle, loving spirit. Rose weighs 18lbs. (but could stand to lose some weight), is approximately 9 years old (est. birth date 07/28/2015), and her adoption fee is $175. Rose has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. If you want to know more about Rose, please complete a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. Meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you within 72 hours to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.
