Story
A SWEET & LOVELY GAL: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 20 lbs. & needs to lose some weight Hi there, I’m Suri! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and now I’m getting a second chance at a happy life. I needed bloodwork and a good dental cleaning when I arrived and I've had those now, thanks to a generous grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization! I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait to find my happily ever after! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I wasn’t interested in them, though I did not show any aggression, so if you have a very calm dog that isn’t looking for a playmate and will give me my space, let’s meet! I have shown a little food possessiveness, so please feed me separately. Of course, I would be very happy to have you all to myself, too! / Cats unknown. / I met a nice boy and a girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and did well with them, so a home with kids ages 10 and up could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m described as a “sweet, gentle, adorable and fluffy sweetheart with the softest fur, who is not a lapdog, but loves being beside you, sometimes with her head on your lap.” I can be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, you’ll see just how sweet and loving I am. Despite my age and weight, I currently have no issues going up and down stairs, enjoy a few shorter walks throughout the day – I can even do 2 miles and a little jog here and there, as well as the occasional chasing of a small frog in my foster’s yard. “Sniffari” time is the best and I still have lots of energy to enjoy adventures! During our walks, I sometimes do a little “reverse allergy sneeze,” which sounds like a funny snort — it’s harmless and passes quickly. / Energy level: 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’ command and I bet you can teach me even more. / I did well in my crate at Mostly Mutts and in one foster home at night as well as when my foster was away (a little treat to get me in there was always appreciated), but I just sleep in my current foster’s bedroom on a dog bed with pillows now, and I also do well alone during the day for a few hours without a crate so maybe I won’t need one in my new home. / I only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule and have had no accidents in my current foster home, so hopefully that will translate to doing well in my new home, too – of course there may be an adjustment period, and I do like to drink a lot of water. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I really enjoy being with people and getting lots of scratches, pets and belly rubs. Being outside is great as long as we are together. I have recently discovered how much fun toys can be, shaking and growling at my stuffed toys or playing a little tug game with my foster – we pretend it’s a fierce battle lol. I enjoy a peanut butter Kong and other healthy weight-loss friendly treats (I pretty much love all dog safe fruits and veggies, which I frequently beg my foster for lol). I like my fun puzzle feeder, too. Naps are great and I look forward to my average 8-9 hours of sleep each night, from around 10pm to 7am. I cuddle with my foster on the couch, but ask for permission to jump up if you are there first. I like going for car rides, getting so excited for our adventure. I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we will like doing together. / I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I came in with some fur loss, but my fur has grown back in nicely. I had 1 tooth pulled during my dental cleaning and my mouth is feeling fresh again. I’ve been diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and I’m on a medication called Vetoryl that I’ll need to stay on for life. I also had 2 small cysts removed from my belly. I also take an over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin which is good for all older doggies. I’m trying some allergy medication, so just ask about that. I’m so thankful that I was rescued and that I’ve gotten the much-needed vet care and love from all the nice folks at Mostly Mutts, and now I can’t wait to find my new family that will continue that love and good care. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. February 7, 2026, 7:41 am
