My story

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

A CUTE BUNDLE OF LOVE:  Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 10 lbs.

Hello – I’m Orion!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control which made my day!  I’ve been enjoying life in a great foster home and am excited to find a home of my very own soon.  I am sure to charm you with my expressive ears and cute head tilt as I intently listen to you telling me how adorable I am!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:   I get along very well with the dogs in my foster home.  I play with the one who is 6x my size, while also occasionally engaging the dog closer to my size – who is older and not always a fan of my shenanigans – but I get her to play with me sometimes.  When I try to be the alpha dog with humping behaviors, they correct me, and I listen.  So, if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / I shouldn’t live with kitties as I love chasing them and they do not like that, so no kitties for me. / I really enjoyed the two children that visited my foster home (ages 7 & 12).  My foster reports that I was a love bug with them and enjoyed playing with toys with them, so if you have kids around their ages, let’s meet and best no toddlers who may fall on me. 

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My foster describes me as a very happy little guy who is a true people dog.  I seek out attention and can be a bit barky at first with strangers but am happy to meet them and have been nice with everyone I’ve met!  I am smart and easily trained - picking up on the routines of my foster home very quickly. Playful, snuggly and affectionate, I am basically a fun-loving little lap dog. / My energy level is 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a fast learner and know the ‘leave it’ and ‘stay’ commands.  I am  learning ‘go out’ and ‘leash’ too. I bet you can teach me even more! / I have not needed to be crated in my foster home. / My potty habits have been pretty good in my foster home.  I will mark sometimes but am starting to let my foster know when I need to go out by going to the door.  My foster feels I will do well in my new home on a consistent schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  Toys, treats, snuggles, and being loved – it’s all great!  I love to play and will sometimes bring my tennis ball to my foster to throw.  Sleeping in my dog bed next to my foster’s desk while they work makes me happy.  I also love to just be held and get snuggles from my people, while giving them kisses. / I hate to be left out of anything and will get underfoot to be sure that I’m not missing out. Be cautious if you're not steady on your feet as I don’t know what personal space is and I wouldn’t want to trip someone who is a fall risk. 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 have some tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. 
 
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!

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
