My name is Willa!

A SWEET FRIEND IS WAITING FOR YOU:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 31 lbs. 

Hi, my name’s Willa!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am soaking up all the love and good care I am receiving from the volunteers at the shelter.  I have now gotten the good news that I am ready to find a family of my very own to love and be loved by, so come meet me!  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 recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was alright until play engaged – then I snarled and reacted to them.  I am working on this with my trainer in the prison/foster training program, showing some interest in play.  Please check back to see my progress.  / Cats unknown. / I recently met a boy and girl at Mostly Mutts around 10 years old, and I was sweet with them.  A home with kids age 10+ might be a good fit for me, let’s meet!  Kids shouldn’t walk me, though, since I can be reactive to other dogs on walks and have some fears of being outside and discomfort with loud cars and crowds.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a friendly girl with a sweet, playful and gentle nature.  I’m a people dog, but I am most comfortable inside right now.  I must have a fenced yard in my new home.  Let’s start there and build up to some nice quiet nature walks.  Please be patient with me as I get exposed to new outdoor spaces.  I’m playful and loving – ready to bring joy to my new family! / My energy level is 6-8.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer.  I’ve mastered quite a few commands: ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’.  I’ll be learning even more, so check back to see my progress.  Please hold my leash tightly when walking, as some loud cars can startle me.  / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I've had very few accidents on the shelter schedule, so I think I’ll do well in my new home once I adjust to our schedule.  

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I’m a cuddly girl who loves laps. I’m interested in toys, so – let’s play! I also ride well in the car, so let’s go on some adventures together!  A volunteer recently took me on a hike where they said I had a great time.  I patiently laid in the grass with the volunteer when it was time for a break – I’m just so happy to be near you and to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air!  / I can be reactive to other dogs and people I see from afar on walks.  At Mostly Mutts, I have barked at tall (6 foot+) male volunteers while I am in my crate, as well as a shorter man wearing a hat.  Once I am out of my crate, I am fine and warm up to them.  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 wonderful furever home with a loving family for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
