A FRIENDLY LITTLE FELLOW: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 14 lbs. Hi, I'm Newton! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and now I hear that I'm ready to find a wonderful family of my very own, where I can love and be loved furever! I hope to meet them very soon and charm them with my cuteness! I came in heartworm positive, but I'm doing the slow kill method that can easily be done in my new home. I got to spend some time in a nice foster home and now I'm ready to find my new family.   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I can be around other dogs but should NOT live with another dog due to guarding food and treats and these things cannot be around us when we're together. There was a bite related to this guarding, so just ask about that. / I ignored the cat in my former foster home, but all cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would be with another kitty, and no food or treats should be around us. / I haven't met kids yet, but Mostly Mutts thinks kids 15+ who can follow the guidelines with food and treats that work with me, so if you have kids like this, let's meet.  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a curious boy with a little pep in my step and a whole lot of sweetness! I'm friendly, loving, and happy, curious and everyone says I'm such a good dog and a little sweetheart. I have fun little bursts of energy and cuteness—rolling around in the grass, chasing my tail, tossing a toy in the air and doing that cute little prayer paws pose with a little dance when I am so hopeful you will give me a treat. I am also very affectionate and can give kisses for days. I followed my former foster around like a little shadow—do you need one? / Energy level: 3-5, but may increase a bit after my heartworm treatment.      • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'come' and 'place' commands and I also know how to  accept friendly strangers without jumping. I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I did well in my crate at Mostly Mutts and slept well in a little pen area with an open crate in my former foster home. / My potty habits were good in my foster home. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddles, pets, scritches, kisses, food and I enjoy going for walks, exploring all the sniffs and sights. I also love to roll around outside in the sunshine. Once I'm settled into my new home, I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we will love to do together! / I get a little nervous during baths and car rides and like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. Sadly, I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, so I'm heartworm positive. The good news is that I am doing the slow kill method that can easily be done in my new home. 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'm on medicated baths once a week a little while longer to help with flaky skin from a flea allergy and these can be done easily in my new home. I'm a little sweetheart looking for a wonderful family that will take great care of me and love me forever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
