My story

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

A WONDERFUL YOUNG PUP:  Approx. 8 – 9 months old / Approx. 39 lbs. & growing 

Hi, my name is Taffy!  I had a home, but my owner simply did not have the time to devote to me that I deserved, so I made my way to Mostly Mutts to find a new family to love and be loved by. I’m soaking up all the attention from the volunteers at the shelter and can’t wait to do the same with my new family!  I got to spend some time in the prison/foster training program and had fun as well as learned a lot!  

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met dogs at Mostly Mutts and in the prison/foster training program and I liked them, so if you have a nice doggy at home who would enjoy a friend, let’s meet! My trainer reports that when I’m finished playing, I’ll just flop over while the other dog continues to try and play – so funny! / Cats unknown. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old, and I liked them!  I was interested in grabbing their feet when they ran though, so I’m working on that.  If you have kids around 10 and up, let’s meet and best no toddlers or very young kids.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a super friendly and fun pup with a sweet personality.  A typical pup, I am playful and fun.  The volunteers who care for me describe me as ‘the most delightful, sweet girl with a happy energy’.  A true lap dog, my affectionate nature, will surely bring lots of joy to a lucky family! / My energy level is 4-6. 

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m in the Mostly Mutts University training program now and have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘come’, and ‘drop it’ commands.  I also use proper door etiquette and accept friendly strangers without jumping on them though I occasionally get puppy mouthy when I’m meeting new people, but not at all in a mean way – my trainer says it’s all puppy!  I’m working on my leash manners as my trainer reports that I’m a lazy walker and when I’m done, I’m done, though I do still pull at times.  We are trying the ‘WE’ leash to help me with that, for now, kids should not walk me though. / My potty manners have improved, and I think keeping me on a good schedule is key!  I did have occasional overnight accidents in the prison/foster training program. Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love to spend time playing with the volunteers and trainers – readily giving and receiving affection and kisses. I like toys too, but I haven’t tugged on them – I tend to just drop them if you want them. / 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 spayed.

I am looking for a great home with a loving family for life!  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.

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
