Story
AN ACTIVE & FUN FRIEND: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 44 lbs. Hi, I’m Victor! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am very happy about that! I loved the attention from the volunteers while I was at Mostly Mutts and now, I love being in a wonderful foster home! I was also previously selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot! Now I am ready for my ‘happily ever after’ with my new family. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and do not like them, so I’d like to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I met a nice boy and a girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and I was a bit all over them in a happy & excited way – being a bit mouthy and chasing them when they ran, so kids 15+ may be a better match for me. Let’s meet! Also, it would be best if kids do not walk me due to my strength and dislike for other dogs. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am an active and fun guy with a friendly and playful demeanor. My affectionate nature has charmed the volunteers, and they refer to me as ‘a super sweet boy’. In fact, my whole-body wags with excitement when I know it’s my turn to spend time with them. Now that I’m in a foster home, of course I love it when my foster spends time with me, too, and when he’s away, he turns the TV on for me, which I seem to enjoy! My foster is helping me to rest and heal some leg challenges (please see medical below for information). I’ve been a very good boy for bathtime, calm as can be, soaking up all the one-on-one time and my bather says I have the most beautiful eyes. I can get a little mouthy when I’m excited, and that playful behavior has occasionally resulted in some unintentional, never-to-be-mean skin grabs – so having a toy or ball to give me helps with that. I’m very easy to redirect, and the trainers will happily show you the techniques that work with me. Social, loving and energetic describes me very well. / My energy level has been high at 6-8+ at the shelter, however it’s a bit lower in my foster home as they are helping me to be calmer so my legs can get a rest. I’m more relaxed/chill than when at the shelter, though still a very active dog. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners using my gentle leader as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. I also know some silly commands such as ‘bang bang’ and I ‘play dead’. Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts as well as in my foster home. When my foster is away, I stay in a bedroom with my crate door open so I can go in and out of it. / I had good potty habits in the off-site training program, while at MM, and in my foster home, too, so yay me! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I absolutely love going for car rides and would be the best travel buddy – I think I could ride all day and I’m so happy that my foster takes me for several car rides every day while I rest a bit to work on my leg challenges! I also love playing tug o’ war, though watch for my regrip as I don’t want to accidentally get your hand. Toys are super fun, so let’s have a variety to play with together. I love people and enjoy just about any activity with them. Affectionate and loving, I also put energy into giving kisses, cuddles and happy tail wags, and I’m a big fan of belly rubs and playing with balls, rope toys and bones. I loved to get my energy out by playing with tennis balls in the play yard with the volunteers at the shelter, but I’m taking a little break from that currently. Cheese and peanut butter make for some yummy snacks! / I don’t care for other dogs, sirens, aerosol sprays or thunder (but the vacuum and hairdryer noises don’t bother me) and I’m not too sure about motorcycles passing so perhaps a quieter walking area would be nice. 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 an allergy medication called Zenrelia. I have luxating patellas and have now been diagnosed with torn CCLs in my rear legs and some hip dysplasia. I’ve been evaluated for corrective surgery, by an Orthopedic Surgery specialist and they do not believe I’m a good candidate for the multiple and very complex surgeries, and extensive crate restrictions that would be needed, so it’s being managed medically for the best quality of life for me and it’s going well. I’m on a few medications for this (just ask for details about me and the medications). My mobility is perfectly normal some days and limping/limited other days but is very manageable – just ask! I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving family for life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. July 14, 2026, 7:41 pm
