A FUN FELLOW WITH SOME CHALLENGES: 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! I came in heartworm positive, and I’ve already been treated for that! I also needed a good dental cleaning which I received thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization! I’ve got hearing and vision loss, but I also have a great spirit and lots of love to give, so come meet me and see if we’re a great match.
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met 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. I do like playing with other dogs, so if you have a nice doggie at home that would understand not to press my boundaries, let’s meet! I am dog reactive to other dogs when on walks, but just hold my leash and move me away from the dog and we’ll be fine. / I’ve been good with the kitty cats in my foster home, so 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, and that understand I have vision and hearing loss, 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 my foster family – greeting them with my happy nature, wagging tail and little air bites when I’m excited! My foster family also reports that I’m a very sweet and a loving guy who is a funny fellow with a chill and playful spirit! I’ve been great for my baths and my foster recently said that I was an inspiration to her since I have sight and hearing loss – but I don’t let anything get me down – I just navigate around things, bonk my nose at times but nothing stops me and my happy little self. Of course, I’ll need my family to keep me safe on stairs, etc. / 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 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 absolutely love squeaking squeaky toys - it’s just SO much fun! I also enjoy exploring the house, the yard, and going for walks in the neighborhood, though I’m reactive to cars, dogs and other things that move when walking. I like toys a lot and if I don’t want to give one up, just trade it for another one. I will snuggle up next to you for a nap after an afternoon of playing ball and enjoying our time together. I’m a power chewer and really enjoy a good chew bone. I’m very food motivated, and love treat puzzles and treat balls – so fun! I’m also a fan of belly rubs and getting lots of love and attention. / I can’t think of any dislikes, other than being reactive as mentioned above, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, playtime with my family 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 and my foster can tell I have some sight loss in my left eye too and hearing loss. I’ve had a good dental cleaning, and 11 teeth pulled, so my mouth is fresh again! I’ve been treated for heartworms and will have a re-check in March 2025, so local adoption 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.
