My story

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

A REAL SWEETHEART OF A GIRL:  Approx. 11 years old / Approx. 43 lbs. 

Hi, my name is Bela!  I was adopted as a puppy from Mostly Mutts and was a loving and loyal pet to my previous family for many years.  Unfortunately – as time went on, they had less and less time for me.  I am back with Mostly Mutts now while I wait for a new forever home where I will be a cherished family member in my golden years.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was reactive towards them.  For this reason, I would like to be your only dog, please.  / I got along fine with cats in my previous home, according to my former owner. If you have a dog-friendly kitty, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / I lived with kids in my previous home and liked them, though I can’t remember their ages.  So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. 

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am a sweet and loving girl with a gentle nature you are sure to love.  I’m alert and smart and though not super playful, I do have lots of love to give to my new family.  The volunteers love me and even call me a ‘love’.  A sweet senior girl, I will be your loyal companion in exchange for your love and kindness. I’m looking for a family member that is home most of the time as I’ve developed some separation anxiety (which I’ve started medication for) and did some damage to a door-frame when left alone as well as broke out of a wooden fence when left alone. So, please don’t leave me unattended in the yard when you are gone. / My energy level is 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, and have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and greet friendly strangers without jumping on them. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My former family reported that I was potty trained, and I've had very few accidents on the shelter schedule, so I just may need to learn the routine in my new home.  Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love being with people and would relish my time being included in family activities in my new home.  I would likely enjoy spending time with you outside in a nice, fenced yard, but don’t leave me unattended, as I have dug out of a fenced yard in the past. / I can’t think of any dislikes, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training.

• MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I had a cyst removed from my neck and it’s healing nicely. I also have some older lady lumps that are of no concern and don’t bother me, and I hope they won’t bother you either.  I have started an inexpensive medication for my separation anxiety.

I am looking for a great home with a loving family to cherish me during my golden years. My adoption fee is $100.00, 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
