Critter Details

A HANDSOME & HAPPY GUY:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 29 lbs. Hi, my name’s Riley!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and – though a bit nervous – I am learning that I am in a safe place with lots of love.  Now, I hear it is time for me to find a family of my very own to love and be loved by.  That sounds GREAT to me! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and wasn’t quite ready to play or a fan of having my hind sniffed, but I also didn’t show any aggression, so if you have a dog already, let’s meet and see if we can be friends! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am a friendly boy with a pretty gentle nature – you just need to go slowly with me and give me time to decompress, as the volunteers have done.  They describe me as ‘an absolute love’ who looks like a lamb.  I was a perfect angel for my bath and brushing – only one instance of growling/lunging at a volunteer who held out their hand to me when on a walk.  Maybe I was startled or felt not in control on my leash?  It is not my usual easy going demeanor, so perhaps a one off event.  Happy and easy going, I am sure to bring lots of love to my new home. / My energy level is 4-6. • 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.  So far, I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ commands.  I bet you can teach me even more. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  Though nervous when I first arrived, I am a confident pup now with a love for people and exploring.  When out and about, I enjoy letting my sniffer take the lead as I check out the world around me. Giving and receiving affection when back in my room makes me a happy guy.  I also love to play and am happy when the volunteers break out the toys for a fun play session. / 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 annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I am looking for a great home with  a loving family for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
