Rick

Description

A FUN & HANDSOME BOY:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 16 lbs. Hi, my name is Rick! I came to Mostly Mutts when my family’s circumstances changed, and they could no longer keep me. I arrived with another dog friend who has already found a wonderful home, and I’m hoping my turn comes very soon! In the meantime, I’m enjoying life in a fantastic foster home where I’m getting lots of love, activity and care. If my foster family is any indication, I think there’s a pretty amazing forever home waiting just for me!  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I got along great with the dog I came in with, and my former family reported that I did well with the dogs I met while I was with them.  I really think I’d like a dog friend in my new home to play and pal around with, so if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet while with Mostly Mutts, but my former owner reported that I did well with the kids I met while I was with them, though I don’t recall their ages, so if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a friendly, active guy with a fun, lively personality! Shelter life was stressful for me, so I was pretty barky there, but once I settled into my foster home, I showed everyone what a well-mannered boy I really am. I’m doing great in a home environment and enjoying all the attention and routine. I also did very well for my bath and brushing, showing that I’m happy to cooperate. I’m a fun-loving companion who’s ready to bring lots of joy and energy to my forever family. / Energy level:  6-8, typical of my breed, so I’d like a family that will be active with me.      • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, and ‘leave it’ commands so far. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s continue my training together. / I sleep well in my crate at night and like going in and out of it some during the day – it’s my comfy place and I’d like one in my new home. / I had accidents when I was at the shelter but am doing well in my foster home after some initial marking and a couple of accidents early on.  They keep me on a good potty schedule and I also learned to use the doggie door there in 1 day.  My former family reported that I was potty trained with them.   • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love playing, being active, and spending time with my people. I’m an affectionate guy who enjoys attention and will happily stop for a short cuddle session before I’m ready for my next adventure. I also love my food - so much so that I tend to eat a little too fast! /  I can’t think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, 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 neutered.  I just had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again - and not the talking-back kind of fresh! I’m a wonderful dog looking for a wonderful furever home with a family that will be active and have fun with me. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
