Story
A FUN COMPANION: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 21 lbs. Hi, my name’s Cherish! I came to Mostly Mutts with another doggie friend from animal control who has already been adopted and now it’s my turn! I am grateful for the love and attention I am receiving in my wonderful foster home, and I look forward to finding my very own family soon! I was adopted for a month, but, though they loved me dearly, it just wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with my foster ready to find my perfect match - perhaps that’s you? • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I came to Mostly Mutts with another dog and we got along fine. When I was with Mostly Mutts previously, I was a little reactive to some dogs I met. In my adoptive home, I wasn’t reactive to the dogs I met with the family, and in my foster home, I lived temporarily with a puppy and really enjoyed that, so perhaps it will depend on the dog. If you have a dog at home already, let’s meet along with a trainer and see how we do together. / My former adoptive family reported that I was good with the family cats. All cats are different though, so I’m not sure how I would do with another cat. / I haven’t met kids yet, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet girl who has already won the hearts of my foster family, and I’d love to win yours, too! They say I’m a “wonderful dog” with short bursts of playful energy, though my true calling seems to be keeping an eye on my surroundings - I like to stay alert and see what’s going on beyond the fence or out the window (it’s my self-appointed job, lol!). I’m affectionate, but I also stay busy with my little patrol duties, so my cuddle sessions tend to be on the shorter side. In my previous home, I showed I’m quite the athlete - I could climb and jump their fence to chase after small critters as I do have a high prey drive. I’ll need a secure set-up to keep me safe while I do my important “watching” work. / My energy level is 4-6, and sometimes a little higher. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don’t know any commands yet, but I am treat-motivated, and – if I am as serious about training as I am about overseeing my foster home – I think you can teach me some great doggie commands. I currently zig-zag a bit on my leash as I’m new to it. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s do some training together. / I’ve had excellent crate manners in my foster home and did well in my former adoptive home as well, however I have shown that I don’t need one, so my foster doesn’t use one with me anymore. I enjoy cuddling up in my foster’s bed with her some nights and others I sleep in a doggie bed nearby. / My fosters say my potty manners are good and I learned how to use a doggie door in their home. My former adoptive family also reported that I had good potty manners. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I like hanging out watching the world go by – in fact, if there is a window, I want to be looking out of it. Exploring my foster’s backyard is really fun too, but I must have a high fence and please stay with me to make sure I don’t try to climb or jump it! Being on the back of the couch snuggled in a comfy blanket is my idea of the perfect perch. I like my walks and will wag my tail for a treat along the way. I also like toys and Nylabones and I’ll self-entertain with them. / I can’t think of any dislikes, however, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I am looking for a great home where I will be a ‘cherished’ family member (do you see what I did there?). My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. May 17, 2026, 7:45 am
