Story
A HANDSOME YOUNG FELLOW: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 51 lbs. Hi, I’m Blake, but I answer to the name Churro (please refer to Blake though when inquiring about me as that’s the name my records are under). I was rescued by Mostly Mutts from animal control and was adopted for a few months. Unfortunately, my family’s parents became ill, and they needed to focus on caring for them, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts to find a new loving family and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m in a wonderful foster home while I wait. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along very well with the other dogs I’ve met that were my size or larger, and I love playing with my foster sibling. I can be a bit enthusiastic when I play, taking toys from other dogs, etc. as I’m still learning my boundaries! I’d do best with a dog who would enjoy a playful, rough-and-tumble style of play and won’t mind if I take their toy. A proper introduction will help set us up for success! / Cats unknown though I do have a strong prey drive. / I haven’t met kids yet, but I believe older kids would be best as I can be playfully mouthy, so if you have kids like this, let’s meet. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super fun and adorable pup who’s a little timid and fearful when it comes to new things (see the dislikes section below) - but give me some time and patience, and you’ll see my friendly, curious side shine through. I’m a sweetheart who likes to build trust first, so please skip the head pats until we know each other better. When I’m unsure or afraid, I duck my head a little or flatten my body out. Once I feel safe, I’ll stay right by your side, quiet, attentive, and full of love. I promise I’ll be so worth it – my foster reports that I’m truly a total doll! I’m thankful that I’m in a great foster home as the shelter environment was scary for me. / Energy level: 6-8, so I’d like to be active with my new family. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m looking for a dog-savvy, patient and experienced owner who enjoys training their dog and bonding through learning! I already know several commands like ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘up’, ‘jump’, and ‘place’, and I’ve got great door and food manners - I’ll wait politely until I’m told it’s time to eat with the ‘break’ command. I’m smart and eager to learn, though my recall needs work so don’t let me off leash unless we’re in our fenced yard, and I’m working on my leash manners now. With patience, consistency, and love, I’ll thrive with someone who enjoys guiding me and helping me reach my full potential. (Oh, and I do tend to pick things up to eat on walks, so keep an eye on me!) / In my foster home I do very well in my crate and know the command “go to bed.” I relax quietly, especially if I have something to chew on. If I get bored, I might tear up a blanket or pillow, so it’s best not to leave me unsupervised for too long until I’ve earned that trust. I also get to go to work with my foster and do well in my crate there, too. / I’m doing well with my potty training! I let my people know most of the time when I need to go out, but sometimes I get a little too excited playing and forget – oops! I haven’t had any #2 accidents in my foster home, but I do try to snack on that – sorry about that. My fosters just pick it up quickly since I’m a regular morning pooper and there are chewable deterrents that you could try over the counter that may help. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love belly rubs, playing tug, going on hikes and walks, and, of course, tearing up stuffies and squeaky toys! I have a blast playing with the other dogs, chewing on antlers (and pretty much anything else I can find), and enjoying healthy snacks. But my favorite thing of all? Just being with my people! / I can be nervous and fearful around certain things like loud noises, fast movements, or unusual objects such as bikes, strollers, or umbrellas - but I’m learning that they’re not so scary! Big crowds can overwhelm me, but I’ve done well in calmer public places like restaurants and stores that allow dogs. With patience and gentle encouragement, I know I’ll keep getting braver. 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 should eat from a slow feeder bowl as I eat much too quickly and get a tummy ache. I’m looking for a wonderful dog smart family to love and be loved by! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. October 25, 2025, 4:55 pm
