My story

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

A SWEET LITTLE FRIEND:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 18 lbs. 

Hi, my name is Rosey!  I had a good home with a loving owner.  In fact, I’ve been with him since I was a puppy.  Sadly, his health has deteriorated, and he is no longer able to care for me.  I know he loves me, so I am sad that my situation has changed, but I am grateful that Mostly Mutts has a place for me in the MM family, where I will get all the love and care I deserve while they help me find a new family to love and be loved by. I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off site and learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet.      
          
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, but my previous owner says I am shy around other dogs initially, but then I warm up and want to interact with them.  If you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be pals! / Cats unknown. / I hadn’t been around young kids in my previous home or met any at Mostly Mutts yet, but if you have calm and quiet natured kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.     

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My change of situation has left me a bit scared and shy as I adjust to shelter life.  I DO warm up, so just allow me the time and space to feel comfortable.  My former owner reported that some initial barking typically gives way to a friendly playfulness … with dogs and people alike.  They also reported that I was very smart, so I know I will enjoy my training. Playful and sweet, I do have the typical rat terrier nature that creates zoomie sessions and a tendency to bolt, so keep an eye on gates and doors.  / My energy level is 4-6. 
 
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and can't wait to learn lots of new skills with my trainer!  Check back soon to see my progress. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, and I was reportedly used to a crate in my previous home. / I will need you to help me with my potty skills, as I was likely not able to be on a consistent schedule in my previous home, given my owner’s health issues.  A good schedule and positive reinforcement will have me on the way to mastering my potty skills. 

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love to play and have fun with people once I know them and feel comfortable. Toys (especially tennis balls) and treats are two of my favorite things.  Zoomies in the play yard are great, and I would love a secure, fenced yard where we can have lots of fun together, as I DO show a bit more confidence when outside with my people. / Sudden movements make me nervous, so I would do best in a calmer, quieter home.  Otherwise, 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 spayed.

I am looking for a loving home with a great 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!

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
