A FUN & SWEET FELLOW: Approx. 9 years old / Approx. 18 lbs.
Hi, my name is Herman! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control and boy, am I glad they did! I needed some TLC, and it didn’t take me long to realize I had come to the right place for that when I joined the MM family! They have seen to it that my positive heartworm condition was treated and thankfully I am now in my recovery period. Also, I needed a good dental cleaning which I have received thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! I am ready to find my new family!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and – though I was a tad barky once we engaged in play, I liked spending time with them. In my foster home, I felt the need to protect a treat I was eating and a toy I was playing with, so I’d need my future doggie sibling to understand this boundary of mine. If you have a nice doggie at home that would understand not to press my boundaries, let’s meet! / I’ve been pretty good with the kitty cats in my foster home. We are still getting used to each other and I’m very interested in them but I’m respectful. If you have a dog-friendly kitty, let’s meet! / I recently met a boy and girl around 10 years old in my foster home and I liked them! If you have kids around that age or older at home that would understand I am a bit jumpy when I first meet people, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super friendly little guy with a playful and fun nature. I’m enthusiastic when I play and love spending time with the nice volunteers and everyone I’ve met in my foster home! My foster family reports that I’m a very sweet and loving guy who is also a funny fellow with a chill and playful spirit! I was also a real trooper for my medicated spa bath when I arrived at MM. / My energy level is 4-6.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘place’, ‘leave it’ and ‘down’ commands so far and I’m working on even more in my foster home, so I’m sure you can teach me lots more! I’m a little jumpy when I meet new people, so I’m working on that now. / My crate manners are good in my foster home. I sleep there overnight without any issues. / My potty manners are good in my foster home.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love exploring the house, the yard, and the neighborhood when we go for walks. I also just love being near everyone in my foster home. I will snuggle up next to you for a nap after an afternoon of playing ball if you let me! Running around in my foster’s yard is great fun too, but I do have to keep that to a minimum until I’ve completed my rest/recovery time. At the shelter, I enjoyed playing with toys, Pup-Peroni treats, cheese, taking walks, exploring, belly rubs and getting lots of love and attention. / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I don’t have sight in my right eye due to a cataract. I’ve had a dental cleaning, and 11 teeth pulled, so my mouth is fresh again! Unfortunately, my previous owner did not keep me on a monthly heartworm preventative, so I was heartworm positive. Thankfully, I’ve been treated for it and am in my recovery period now, which will conclude mid-late October. I will have my heartworm re-check in March 2025. I am still available for adoption during this time, but local adoption only, please. A mass was found on my neck, and it appears to be a benign cyst. I’ll need my family to monitor it, and have it removed if it grows.
I am looking for a great home with a loving family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
