A GENTLE LOVEBUG: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 24 lbs.
Hello – my name’s Mary Kate! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am so happy to be in their great care while I wait for my new family to find me. The volunteers showed me lots of love and I returned the favor! I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me.
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I haven’t met other dogs at Mostly Mutts yet, so let’s meet! I just ignore other dogs that I see on walks with my foster. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: In the time I have been at the shelter, I have earned the reputation as a ‘sweet ol’ soul’ – just a calm and gentle girl with a friendly and loving nature. I greet everyone with a great big smile – anticipating all the love that comes my way. I was sweet for my first bath in my foster home. / My energy level is 3-5.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I have good leash manners, and I already know the ‘sit’ command. I’ve also shown my good door etiquette, as well as how to accept friendly strangers without jumping on them. I’m sure you can teach me lots more. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. In my foster home, I go in there sometimes during the day with the door open to relax. I haven’t bothered with items that don’t belong to me, so my foster chooses not to close my crate door when she leaves. I also sleep in bed with my foster and really enjoy that. When my foster first leaves, I cry for a few minutes before settling down into my crate or on the couch. / I’m having some accidents in my foster home, but my foster is working with me on my potty skills and getting me used to a schedule. Please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule so that I can fully master my potty skills.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I’m quite affectionate and really enjoyed the rub down during my shelter bath. I gave nice little groans of appreciation and sweet kisses! True to my beagle nature, I enjoy using my sniffer to explore my surroundings so let’s go exploring together! It helps that I love the car and going for rides, so let’s do that too. I prefer lying next to my foster mom when we’re on the couch, although I am warming up to my foster dad as well. / 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’ve just had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again! I came in with some fur loss and itchy skin, likely from a flea allergy, so I’m getting medicated baths twice a week for a little while longer. These can easily be done in my new home. Also, I should be kept on a flea prevention to prevent this in the future.
I am looking for a home where will be a much-loved member of the family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
