Critter Details

A HANDSOME LITTLE GUY:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 11 lbs. Hello – I’m Vince!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and now I am ready to find my ‘happily ever after’ in a great furever home.  I hope you will find a spot in your heart for a new furry family member … and let it be me!  I’m heartworm positive, but thankfully Mostly Mutts is going to get me treated for that. Plan to come meet me soon! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, but I would likely do best with older, dog-savvy children such as 15+, as I may need their patience to settle into my new home.  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I was quite scared when I first arrived, so the volunteers took their time with me and interacted on my terms which I really like.  Having a bit of that spicy “Chihuahua” nature, I may like what I like and may not like what I don’t like – time will tell.  Once I know and love you, I turn into a little cuddle bug with a friendly, sweet and happy demeanor, so give me the time needed to open up and relax and I’ll turn on the charm.  I was quite comfortable and adorable for my photo session which I thought was fun. I look forward to being someone’s great companion. If there’s a man in my new home, I’ll ask that he works patiently to win me over as I haven’t liked some of the men I’ve met at the shelter – perhaps something happened in my past with a man. / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’ commands already, and I bet you can teach me even more. / When I first arrived, I guarded the entry to my crate and did not want to come to the volunteers – especially the men, it’s improved over time, so just ask about that. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  Once I know you are my friend, I am a sweet little snuggler and I sure enjoy my time with the volunteers.  I seem to enjoy walks and had fun during my photo shoot, so perhaps I’ll be a big camera fan. / I don’t like being rushed, and I don’t seem to like being picked up yet, but this may change.  Some men aren’t my favorite either. 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 annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  Unfortunately, my previous owner did not keep me on a heartworm preventative, and I've tested heartworm positive.  Mostly Mutts is covering the cost of my treatment with their vet in late June, so local adoptions only.  I hope to be with my new family before my treatment begins.   I am looking for loving home where I will be a cherished family member and will feel safe and loved!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
