Glynnis

Description

A SWEET & GENTLE GIRL:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 41 lbs. Hi, my name is Glynnis! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am grateful for the love and attention I am receiving while I wait for my new family to find me. I hope to meet them soon! I’ve gotten to spend some time in a few different temporary foster homes and I’ve loved it, and I’m in a wonderful foster home now! I was also selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts and was alright with them after a very slow introduction. I am a vocal player, which can be off-putting for some pups, and I like to take breaks during our session. In general, my trainer thinks I’d do best as an only dog. / There was a cat in one of my temp. foster homes whom I did try to chase, so best no cats. / I met two nice boys around 6 years old at Mostly Mutts and did well with them, so a home with kids ages 10 and up could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: The volunteers say I am ‘a super sweet and precious’ girl who just melts into them for scratches and attention. I loved to give the volunteers lots of kisses to show them how much I appreciated them when I lived at the shelter! When I am sleeping soundly, I will dream and make the cutest little noises and foot kicks. In one of my temp. foster homes, I would alert my foster when a delivery man came to the door. I’m reported to be gentle, cuddly, friendly, easy-going, and just a fun, happy girl! My foster said I am “the sweetest dog ever!” My sweet nature is sure to melt your heart. I was in a temp. home for almost 2 weeks, but it was in an apartment, and I did not do well with so many people and so many other dogs passing in close quarters, so best no apartment type home please. / My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience, so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners using my EZ walk harness as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. I sometimes have a reaction to other dogs when walking, but my trainer has worked with me on this and will show you how to handle this behavior. Let's continue my training as there are more classes we can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for all their rescue dogs. / The crate is not my favorite place (I do a little whining in there, but do stop), however, I don’t really need one and slept outside of my crate in a dog bed in the off-site training program and in my foster home as I haven’t bothered anything that doesn’t belong to me. / My potty habits were good in the off-site training program I participate in and in my foster homes too!   • LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy being with people and will sometimes just lie down when I know we are headed back to my kennel as I would like to spend more time together. I love our walks and time together and just don’t want it to end! The best part is when we are just hanging out, and I can collect those soft cuddles and gentle scratches that I love. I enjoy chasing a ball in the yard and collecting sticks. Going for car rides is fun, too! Curling up for a nap in a nice soft blanket feels so good. In one of my temp. foster homes, I enjoyed some peanut butter and pumpkin which was so yummy! I also love giving kisses, so you’ll know you’re loved! / I don’t think I’d like being rushed into new situations, so please give me a little time to adjust. Other than that, 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 have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I started an inexpensive anxiety medication to help with some shelter stress I’ve experienced. I should be able to wean off it once I’m settled into my furever home. I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving, furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
