Critter Details

A SWEET & ACTIVE FRIEND:  Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 14 lbs. Hi, I’m Gunther!  I came to Mostly Mutts from a home that had a lot of dogs! We needed help when our dad had to go into Hospice care, so Mostly Mutts was able to take me, and quite a few more into their program. Now I’m ready to find a new home and family of my very own!  I needed a good dental cleaning which I have received thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, but I came in with other dogs, so if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may fall on me!  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m initially a bit shy, but as the volunteers discovered, I warm up fast, transforming into a happy guy with lots of tail wags.  A fun guy with a sweet and friendly personality,  I earned the award for Most Active Doxie during my photo shoot – lol.  I’m ready for a great life with my new family.  I am playful with a lot of love to share! / My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer!  Check back soon to see what I've learned. / I was anxious in a wire crate, so I moved to one of the small rooms where I do much better. / I've been having some 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 spending time with the volunteers, and I really enjoy it when they break out the toys.  I also like going for walks and I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other likes together. / Other than that pesky bath sprayer during my shelter bath, 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.  Since I'm a Dachshund, I naturally have a long back which is subject to injury, so please don't allow me to jump on and off furniture so we can keep me safe and healthy. I am looking for a home where I will be a cherished member of the family!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
