My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you’re looking for a girl who is going to make you her entire world and absolutely adore you with every inch of her heart… you’ve found her… 



Fancy is a beautiful hound / lab mix with just the softest coat of fur. She’s loyal, she’s grateful, she just wants to be loved and feel safe.



She’s had a rough start in life - coming from a severe hoarding situation that we unfortunately dont know a lot about. Other dogs that we rescued from the same hoarding situation (who have since found their families) were seemingly not as impacted by their past as this beauty was. Please don’t stop reading here. It may be part of her story, but doesn’t define her.



Fancy is a huge couch potato - they don’t get much more “couch potato” than this girl. She is also a HUGE snuggler and wants to be as close as possible to her human. Resting her head on yours, in the crook of your neck, or draped over you are just her most favorite places to be.



She doesn’t ask for much and prefers to be a homebody - thoroughly enjoying the comforts of the indoor life rather than being the adventurous type. She LOVES meal time and thrives with a routine she can anticipate. She loves to go belly up and thoroughly enjoys every belly rub she can get her paws on ♥ She says “additional points if her adopter is home often”



Due to her past, she does become anxious in new outdoor environments. So, she’d really prefer not to be a world traveler. It will likely take her a few weeks to settle into a new routine - so patience and time at first will be important. In foster, she is working on socialization and commands that she can use in public in an effort to ease her worries and focus on her human instead. Because she loves her person with her entire soul, she trusts their decisions with her whole heart and is making nice progress every time she is pushed outside the box.



Fancy is extremely submissive and does wonderfully with other dogs. Having another dog in the home would be a huge plus for her, but we also know that just having her human, would be more than enough to make her happy too.



Fancy is potty trained and crate trained, though she really doesn’t need to be crated. She is not destructive at all.  Ideally, it would be great if she could land a home with a fenced in yard - not because she is an escape artist, but because it will be more comforting to her to feel secure outdoors in her new home. 



This girl deserves to be able to settle down for one last time, into a home with an understanding adopter who will love her for exactly who she is and make her life whole. 



Fancy is part of our “Meet Me Program” which means you can talk directly to her foster about any questions you may have before deciding to adopt. You can also meet her in person before deciding to adopt. She is located in the Exeter Township (Reading, Pa) area. Send an email to meet_me@mostlymuttz.org and we'll put you directly in touch with Fancy's foster.



Additionally, Fancy is part of our 2024 Clear the Shelters Campaign and her adoption fee is half off through 9/10/2024

More about this rescue

We believe that every dog, regardless of health, deserves at least a fighting chance to live, to love and to be loved for the entirety of their life. At Mostly Muttz Rescue, we often choose to save dogs suffering from curable illnesses within the shelter system rather than rescuing dogs that will be easy to place.
