Critter Details

A SMART & SWEET FELLOW:  Approx.  1 year old / Approx. 46 lbs.  Hi, I’m Paxton, but I answer to the name CJ (please refer to Paxton though when inquiring about me as that’s the name all my records are under).  I was rescued from animal control as a puppy in Feb 2025 and adopted in March, but my family realized I was not a good fit for them in December as they are older and thought that I needed a younger family that will be active with me.  I’m back with Mostly Mutts enjoying the company of the volunteers and waiting for my furever family to adopt me. Perhaps that’s you?  I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I’m available to meet.         • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, but didn’t seem to know how to play with them yet (don’t worry, I’ll learn).  I liked the dogs in my temp. foster home (two young males), although I did some mounting.  My former family also reported that I liked the dogs I met while I was with them, so if you have a dog, let’s meet! / I came on too strongly for the cat in my temp. foster home, which resulted in him hissing at me.  / I met two girls aged 6 and 9 in my temp. foster home and liked them, though I was a little mouthy as I’m still an excitable puppy, so kids aged 10+ may be best for me.  My former family reported that I liked the kids I met while I was with them – though I don’t recall their ages. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m described as a playful, happy, fun, sweet, loving, lively and handsome fellow and I think you will agree when you meet me!  I enjoy the company of the volunteers and frequently greet them with kisses!  My former family reported that I may dig out from the yard, so please don’t leave me unattended until you know that I won’t do that. / My energy level is 6-8, sometimes higher and I would like a family that will be active with me. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great commands with my trainer.  I am a super smart guy and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, and ‘drop it’ commands.  I also use proper door etiquette, know how to accept friendly strangers without jumping and I have good leash manners. I say that puts me at top of the class! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and I went in there willingly in my temp. foster home. / My former family reported that I had good potty manners with them and I’m doing pretty well on the shelter schedule, as well as in two temp. foster homes I visited, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  My favorite time of day is spending quality time with the nice volunteers.  I also love playing with toys and balls and my former family reported that I like playing fetch, so let’s do that in my new home!  I enjoyed running around my temp. foster’s big back yard and even going on a hike! / I experienced some car anxiety on the way to one of my temp. foster homes, but I hope to get more used to it with time. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on my annual immunizations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m a great dog looking for a great family that will spend some time being active with me daily.  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
