Critter Details

A REAL JEWEL:  Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 52 lbs. Hello – I’m Minnie!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am happy to be soaking up all the love and attention while in their care.  They are going to help me find a great home, where the love and care can continue for life.  I got to spend a few days in a temporary foster home during the recent cold weather and had a blast!  I’m back at the shelter now and ready to find a loving family, so come and meet me soon!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met and liked dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I really liked the three dogs that were in my temp. foster home. I wasn’t interested in playing, but we all co-existed nicely together.  If you have a nice, calm dog at home who is not looking for a playmate, let’s meet! / I was initially curious about the cats in my temp. foster home, but after checking them out, I pretty much ignored them for the rest of my visit.  Just wanted to know what they were – lol.  All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would be with another kitty. / I met two 8-year-olds and a teenager while in my temp foster home.  They were gentle and respectful, and I loved all the snuggles.  If you have kids like this, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:   My lovely, soulful eyes match my sweet and gentle nature.  I’ve been super friendly with everyone I’ve met and don’t seem to meet a stranger.  I am ridiculously cute on top of all that!  My house manners were wonderful , and my temp. foster described me as ‘just a sweet snuggle bug and a very wonderful dog’.  There was no destructive chewing in my temp. foster home and – though I will get on the furniture if left to my own devices, I respond well when told to get down. Typical of my breed, I’m a snorer and a drooler, so if I’m allowed on the furniture in my new home, a cover may be in order.  I basically charm everyone I meet with my fabulous loving demeanor.  You’re next! / My energy level is 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I will be learning lots of great commands with my trainer.  I walk well on my leash, and I’ll be tested on more soon. / In my temp. foster home, I didn’t like the crate if I was alone and I cried and scratched to get out, but my house manners were so good that I didn’t really need one.  If my people are in the same room as me, I am fine in the crate though with a little whining. / My potty habits were really good in my temp. foster home, and I would go sit by the door when I needed to go out.  I DO seem to prefer going potty in the yard rather than on my walks, so a fenced yard would be nice, but not required.  My potty manners are also good at Mostly Mutts. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I’m a big fan of belly rubs and back scratches.  Hanging out with my people makes me a happy girl – because that is when I can collect all the petting and cuddles – my favorite thing!  I enjoy my walks, and – with my good leash manners – you will, too! / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed.  I’ll be getting a dental cleaning in Mid-February and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that with their vet, so local adoption only.  I take an over-the-counter Cosequin joint supplement which is good for all older dogs.  I came in with very itchy skin, so I started an allergy medication called Zenrelia, so just ask how that’s coming along.  I am looking for wonderful home where I will be a cherished family member!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
