Critter Details

AN ACTIVE, HAPPY PUPPY:  Approx. 4-5 months old / Approx. 31 lbs. & growing Hello – I’m Murphy!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am so grateful for their love and care as I wait for my new family to find me.  I’m ready to meet them and start the good life, so – don’t wait – come let me rescue you!   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so if you have a nice dog at home that would like a puppy friend, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.    • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet, very playful boy who’s friendly, happy, active, fun, and smart! Sometimes the volunteers take me to the play yard in addition to my walks so I can run off some of my extra energy.  I was well behaved for my shelter bath and ear cleaning and seem to be a pretty good listener, too.  I’ve even heard the volunteers call me “a wonderful pup,” and that sure makes me happy! / Energy level: 6-8, so I’ll want a family that will be active with me. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’ and ‘place’ commands and I look forward to learning more.  Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs!  I’m looking for a family that will teach me everything I need to know to grow up and become a wonderful adult dog – including starting to train me not to chew on things I shouldn’t (I chewed up the plastic slow feeder … oops …, so now it is a metal slow feeder for me). / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / 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:  A typical young pup, I LOVE to play and I love treats!  Capturing toys and running around in the play yard are two of my favorite things.  I would love a fenced yard in my new home where we can do just that together!  An affectionate guy, I also love to cuddle – so let’s make time for that between my play sessions, okay? / I don’t like my collar being grabbed and I did snap at someone who did that before they knew it.  Other than that, I can’t think of things I don’t like yet since I’m so young, though like all dogs I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I've started my puppy shots, but you will have to finish these for me as I grow.  I’m also micro-chipped and neutered. If you’re ready for the fun and excitement of having a puppy as well as the training commitment, then let’s meet!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
