My story

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

A SWEET GAL LOOKING FOR A CALM HOME:  Approx. 14 years old / Approx. 10 lbs.   

Hi, my name is Priscilla!  I had a loving home, but my world was turned upside down when my person started experiencing health issues and could no longer care for me.  Another doggie friend and I made our way to Mostly Mutts, and they got me to a wonderful foster home.  I’m grateful for the love I am receiving and can’t wait to be in my new home!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I came to Mostly Mutts with another dog and lived with several dogs previously.  I have been fine with the other dogs in my foster home – as long as they don’t want to play with me or get in my space too much. Sometimes, I am not fond of sharing my person with them during couch time and may snap at them, and my foster feeds me separately to avoid conflicts. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, but I’m an older gal and haven’t lived with kids, so if you have much older calm teens, we can meet and see how we do together. No young kids. 
      
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  In my foster home, I’m a sweet girl who is a curious little explorer of my surroundings.  I’m not super playful, but I am loyal to my person and was used to lots of love in my previous home.  While I thrive on attention, I do not need it constantly and am perfectly content to just be near you.  I’d be a great companion for someone who is home a good bit and would enjoy a quiet little friend to hang out on a dog bed near you. I did not do well at the Mostly Mutts shelter and I was defensive as there were too many people and too much going on there – so peace and quiet is my jam. / My energy level is 3 - 5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I don’t know any specific skills/commands and seem a bit hard of hearing, so commands may be a challenge for me, as I mostly respond to loud claps or whistles. / I’m not crated in my foster home and am not at all happy when separated from my person by the baby gate.  It really is the only time I make noise. / I do well with my potty skills during the day on a frequent let out schedule, though I have been having accidents overnight.  Taking up my water at night and some help with pee pad training are tips to improve this.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  The thing I love best is just being with my people.  I am a sweet girl who doesn’t require a great deal of snuggles … just your presence makes me happy! / Other than the issues with some dogs that I mentioned above, and too many people or too much going on, etc. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and good care.

• MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I have a grade 3/5 heart murmur that doesn’t require medication at this time, of course it should be monitored and may need meds in the future.  I’m missing most of my teeth, but that doesn’t bother me, and I hope you won’t mind. 

I am looking for a calm and peaceful home where I can enjoy my retirement time!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue & Adoption's Adoption Process

Our facility is currently open to the public Monday-Saturday, 11-3. We welcome you to come meet our adoptable Mutts & Kitties! Please keep in mind the following:

Many of our adoptable Mutts & Kitties are in foster homes, so please call 770-272-6888 to find out if the pet you are interested in is at our facility. With an approved application we can set up meet & greets and adoptions with a pet in foster care.
We are not yet up to full ‘staffing’ following the pandemic, so there may be times when we cannot do meet & greets or process an application on the spot.
The best first step is to submit an application via www.mostlymutts.org.
Our adoption counselors are happy to help make a great match for you and your family!

Adoption Info:
Please submit an application through our website at www.mostlymutts.org if you are interested in one of our adoptable pets. We are receiving a large volume of applications and processing may take a little bit longer than normal. We are grateful for your interest, and an adoption counselor will be in touch as quickly as possible. Please give us 48 hours to respond before sending a follow-up email.

Don’t see a dog or cat for you on the website? Submit the application anyway!! We are taking in a large number of dogs and cats weekly. Due to the overwhelming demand, many are matched with approved applicants prior to being posted online. Our adoption counselors will be happy to help make a great match for you and your family.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Who We Are:

Mostly Mutts is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, staffed almost entirely by volunteers!

Our Mission is to help the Unwanted, Abandoned, Abused and Sick animals in our local counties. We fulfill this mission by working closely with County Animal Control Facilities, saving those who are in imminent danger of euthanasia, or those with needs which require specialized vet care that many other groups will not consider: major orthopedic issues, heartworm positive treatment, skin conditions, neglect and abuse
