My name is Ezra!

HANDSOME, CHARMING & FUN:  Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 34 lbs.

Hi, my name is Ezra!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am so happy to be among such loving and dedicated volunteers!  They come to care for me several times a day while I wait for my new family to find me here.  I am now ready to meet the folks I will share the rest of my life with – so excited!  I spent some time in the prison/foster training program offsite and learned a lot!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / I met a cat recently at Mostly Mutts and we all agree that I should not live with cats.  / I  met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old, and I liked them, so if you have kids around that age, let’s meet!  Best no toddlers that I may bump over, as I still have ‘pup energy’ and can be jumpy and playfully mouthy when I play.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a super sweet and playful young guy who always seems happy!  In fact, the volunteers say I am so engaged with them that I ‘always look like I have something to say’. Lol.  I made a great first impression by being a sweet, calm and wonderful boy for my shelter bath, too, and have shown nothing but a friendly demeanor ever since. / My energy level is 5-7 so I need an active family with a strong leader to continue my training.  My energy seems to be higher in the mornings when I wake up, so a morning walk with my family would be great for me to get some energy out!

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program where I have learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’, ‘focus’ and ‘drop it’ commands as well as accepting friendly strangers without jumping and utilizing proper door etiquette.  I’m currently working on my leash skills, where I am improving but still grab at the leash sometimes when I’m super excited.  When I do this, telling me to ‘leave it’ helps me to get back on track.  I am a young fellow who is eager to learn so I bet you can teach me even more great commands. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, though I sometimes don’t go in there on the first try if there is too much action going on that I don’t want to miss, lol. / I've been having some accidents on the shelter schedule, but did well on the prison/foster training program schedule.  I have the occasional ‘excited to see you’ potty dribble.  Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can fully master my potty skills.

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love to play and – if there is a tennis ball around – let’s play fetch!  I would love an active family that likes to go for walks and have lots of play times in our yard or at the park!  After all this playing, I’m always ready for a great cuddle session, too. / 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 neutered.  I have some occasional limping, due to a dropped tarsus.  It may be my gait forever or I may grow out of it with good nutrition and exercise, only time will tell.  It doesn’t seem to bother me, so I hope you won’t mind either. 

I am looking for wonderful family to give me loving, furever home!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
