Shadow is very true to his breed and will need to find an active family with either a yard to play in or the ability to take him on long walks.

I’M LOOKING FOR A GOOD LEADER:  3 years old / 52 lbs.      Hi, I’m Ro!  I was born into the Mostly Mutts program & adopted as a puppy, but my home did not work out/wasn’t a good fit. So, I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for a dog savvy family who knows the herding breeds well & will be active with me & provide good leadership for me to follow.  I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off site & learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met dogs recently at Mostly Mutts & did better with the male dogs than the females as I am a bit of a dominant female.  However, I go on weekly hikes with a good leader & play very well with both the male & female dogs that I’ve gotten to know, so it may just depend on which female dogs I like.  Let’s meet! / No cats per my former owner. / I previously lived with a younger child & was too much for them since I’m an active herding breed dog. I also met a few kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts & stared intensely when they ran.  I do like it when the kids sit by my kennel on Read to Dogs nights & read to me.  Since I also may not want to share my people with young kids, let’s meet if you have older teens.     • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  Now that I’ve been back with Mostly Mutts for a few months, they have learned a lot about me!  I’ve come so far by just getting proper exercise, training, & getting to go on lots of outings with the volunteers.  Previous behaviors have disappeared (just ask about that) & I’m ready to find a great home where I can be a wonderful companion!  I have shown a little apprehension with a few men at Mostly Mutts that seems to be fear based, but I’ve also shown that I really like the men I’ve met who have shown me that they think I’m great! I love going on day trips & hikes with some of my favorite volunteers.  I really feel more like me when I am on those mountain trails & get to splash around & play with my doggie friends.  I can be a little shy around people I don’t know, but I have been building confidence on my outings.  I got to go on a daytrip to the lake recently, & I really liked the nice man who drove the boat. I let him pet me right away & even chose to sit next to him when we went faster. I have also been comfortable approaching men on my hikes as well as walking with some of the nice male volunteers at the shelter.  Please just be patient and go slowly with new introductions. Other volunteers have reported that I’m quiet, friendly and affectionate.  I sometimes have a mouthy style of play, common in my breed mix, but please tell me to ‘leave it’ & I respond well.  One of the nice volunteers took me to have dinner on the outside deck of a restaurant & I was so calm greeting all the dogs & enjoyed watching all the people & dogs nearby. / I have a high energy level at 6 – 8, possibly higher, which is typical of my breed mix, so I’ll want a family that will be active with me, so we’ll all be happy.  • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm enrolled in the Mostly Mutts University training program & have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘place’, ‘drop it’, & ‘leave it’ commands.  I also use proper door etiquette & accept nice strangers without jumping. My trainer says I have been great during my training sessions – “very engaging, great eye contact, wants to learn & do what you are teaching, etc.” / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love my training sessions, playing with tennis balls, spending time with the volunteers, & going for walks in quieter areas.  I really like going for long trail walks/hikes during my daytrips with the nice volunteers.  I love to swim, kayak, & ride on boats . . . bring on the water!  I even like baths so no worries when it’s time to freshen up, LOL. / I sometimes get nervous during car rides even though I like to go on adventures, although this is improving, so please make sure I am buckled in securely & have a few toys to distract me.  Due to my breed, I’m sure I don’t like being bored & I need an outlet for my energy.  I’m not a fan of loud noises or traffic. I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, & training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped & spayed. So, if you know my breed mix & are a good leader with time to spend training & exercising with me, let’s meet!  My adoption fee is $299.00, & I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  June 8, 2023, 4:16 pm

A SWEET AND FUN PLAYMATE:  2 years old / 35 lbs.  Hi, my name is Kendrick!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control.  I was grateful for my freedom ride, happy for the care I am receiving from the shelter volunteers and am excited to meet my new family – hopefully soon!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and I am a dominant male as well as an intense player.  As play went on, I was more comfortable with the dogs.  If you have a more submissive female dog at home who may enjoy my style of play, let’s meet and see if we can be pals.  / Cats unknown. / I met a nice 10 year-old girl at Mostly Mutts and liked her.  I also really enjoyed going on some fun daytrips with two nice 12 year-olds.  I was a just a little jumpy so kids 10+ may be a good fit and of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am a friendly, sweet fellow who could probably win an award for ‘Best Personality’ from the volunteers who come to care for me.  My fun, playful nature is sure to be a hit in my new home, so let’s have lots of adventures together!  I got to go on some fun trail walks recently and was so well behaved in the car, never barking at any of the other dogs, chipmunks or birds.  The nice volunteer who took me out described me as “playful and happy with such a great disposition!” / My energy level is 5-7.     • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer.  So far, I’ve mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’, and ‘drop it’ commands and – though a bit jumpy at first – I have shown myself to be a nice leash walker.  Check back soon to see what else I have learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I've had just a few accidents on the shelter schedule.  Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I like being with people – always excited to see them, and I LOVE to play.  My favorite spot at the shelter is the play yard.  Spending time there with the volunteers makes me a happy guy, so having a nice, fenced yard in my new home would give us a great place to play fetch – my favorite game!  In addition to going for walks and playing with toys, I like belly rubs and just lying around outside with my people.  I also love Nylabones, and Pup-Peronis are a great treat for my continued training!  Splashing around in the stream is great fun so I may be a water dog in the making!  Car rides are great, too, so let’s go everywhere together!  / I can’t think of any dislikes, though 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 am looking for a loving home where I will be a cherished family member!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  June 8, 2023, 4:16 pm

A HANDSOME FELLOW:  3 years old / 65 lbs.  Hi I’m Shervin, but I answer to the name Hank (please refer to Shervin though when inquiring about me as that’s the name all of my records are under).  I was adopted as a puppy but ended up spending 10 – 12 hours alone daily, so that’s not been good for me, and I’ve developed some challenges.  Mostly Mutts is helping me with those and I got to participate in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I’ve met other dogs in the prison/foster training program and can be around them, but when they get in my face, I do NOT like that, so no dogs in my new home.  I can be around dogs as long as they leave me alone, for walks and such, I just shouldn’t live with one. / My former family said that I should NOT live with cats or any other small pets. / I met a nice boy and a girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so a home with kids ages 10+ could be a good fit for me.  Let’s meet!  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  The trainers in the prison/foster training program have spent time with me to discover more about my personality.  When I was in the whole cell block and areas that I considered “my home,” I was a normal, happy and playful boy, but when I’m in a new area or outside, I tend to be nervous and scared.  This can be common in dogs that were left alone a lot or left in a yard too much.  However, a couple of tosses with the tennis ball helps me loosen up!  My confidence and comfort meeting nice strangers and having new people around me is continuing to improve as I spend more time with my trainer and the nice shelter volunteers.  Since returning to the shelter from the prison/foster training program, I have been most comfortable playing with tennis balls in the private play yard, but I am getting more comfortable walking on leash on the sidewalks near the shelter.  I have gone on a few daytrips with some nice volunteers and enjoy the quieter trail walks over the busy parks.  I still need some time to adjust so please be patient with me in my new home. / My energy level is 6 - 8, so I’ll need regular exercise which I think was lacking in my former home, to be my best.  • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program 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 as well as accept nice strangers without jumping.  / My crate and room in the prison/foster training program and shelter is my happy place so I’ll want a nice crate in my new home to feel happy and secure. / My former family reported that I was potty trained and I’m doing pretty well in the prison/foster training program too.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I really enjoy some quiet time each day and don’t think I’d like to live in a busy home with a lot of people coming and going. I also like tennis balls, hanging out with my people and playing and relaxing in a fenced yard with my family.  So, a fenced yard is a must in my new home.  I also enjoy a quiet trail walk where I can dip my toes in a stream.  / I was wary of some strangers in my former home which looked a bit like aggression to them. I haven’t shown this since coming back to Mostly Mutts.  I am fearful of spending much time outside, but I am working on this with my trainers and taking Prozac to see if that will help.  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’m taking Prozac now to help with my outside fears.  I may not have to stay on this medication in my new home. I’m looking for a family that leads their dog well and will spend time enjoying and training me.  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  June 8, 2023, 4:16 pm
