My story

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

A FUN FRIEND FOR YOU:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 41 lbs. 

Hello – I’m Rich!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am thrilled to be a part of the MM family, where I am getting lots of love and great care from the dedicated volunteers.  I recently got some great news!  I am now ready to find a family of my very own.  I look forward to that day, so come meet me soon!  I got to participate in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts and did fine with the male dogs, but I preferred the female dogs that I met, so if you have a dog that won’t mind letting me be the more dominant of the two of us, then let’s meet! / I met a cat recently at Mostly Mutts and we all agree that I should not live with cats.  / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  It’s unanimous, the volunteers say I am ‘a great dog’ and I bet you will agree! I’m friendly with people and love spending time with them.  I have a true cattle dog nature – strong-willed and independent yet I’m as happy and smart as I am handsome.  When left out of my crate, my nose has found a few things that don’t belong to me to play with, so if I’m quiet for too long, you should be suspicious.  I’m quite affectionate and let out some grunts, growls and sighs of ecstasy during that GREAT shampoo massage for my shelter bath.  / My energy level is 8–10, so I will require regular exercise.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands.  I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners as well as accept nice strangers without jumping.  / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners are very good on the prison/foster training schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  Spending time with people is just the best, and my favorite part of my shelter walk is perching on a stump on the property and checking out everything going on around me.  I love to check things out and explore.  Bones are fun to chew on, and I am always up for scratches and cuddles. / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.

I am looking for a great furever home with a loving family!  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!

More about this rescue

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
