My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A LOVING & PROTECTIVE GIRL:  Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 55 lbs.

Hi, my name’s Yasmeen!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control and I’m sure happy they did!  I’m now ready to find my furever family to love! I was adopted for about a week, but it wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for my match. I also got to spend some time in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot!  

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them! I’m a dominant female player, so not all dogs will like that, but if you have a dog that won’t mind me running into them, etc., let’s meet! / The temporary home I was in reported that I was good with their cat, so if you have a dog-friendly cat, let’s meet. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old, and I liked them, but I did some guarding in my temporary home and acted aggressive with the grandchild, so dog savvy kids 15+ may be a better match for me, let’s meet.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I arrived a bit unsure of new people, and we learned that I like to know that I can trust you and then we’ll be good friends.  It only took a day for that in the prison foster/training program.  I LOVE my people a lot and guard them a bit when a stranger comes into the home, but if I know them, I’ve been alright. I’ve worked on this in the prison/foster training program, and we have found it helpful that I meet new people outside of my space/home, so doing this in my new home is recommended.  I’d like a dog-savvy family, and I would not do well in a home with a lot of folks coming and going. I’ve been a great girl for my baths and ‘just the sweetest’ girl. / My energy level is 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program 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 as well as accept nice strangers without jumping.  I’m very treat-motivated, which is probably why I am so accomplished as an MMU student. / I’m doing well in my crate. / My potty manners are very good in the prison/foster training program, and I usually go #2 regularly around 5:30pm. 

• LIKES/DISLIKES:  Being with people is just the best, and I love all the attention and cuddles that come my way.  I’ve been very calm on my leash, so let’s enjoy some walks together, though I seem a bit grass shy at times – sidewalks or a quieter trail could be great! / I can be a bit nervous, so sudden movements at the shelter and in the prison/foster training program can startle me. I wouldn’t like a home with a lot of folks coming and going or where I’d be rushed.  I’m not a fan of having my feet held.  Otherwise, 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 have some skin irritation so I’m taking an allergy medication which I may or may not need to stay on - we’re not sure yet, just ask about that.  I’m also getting medicated baths once a week and these can easily be done in my new home. I sometimes have phantom pains in my tail since it had to be amputated.  These can be common with amputees and should decrease in time. I may need to be muzzled for vetting.  
  
I am looking for a great home with a loving, furever family!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue & Adoption's Adoption Process

Our facility is currently open to the public Monday-Saturday, 11-3. We welcome you to come meet our adoptable Mutts & Kitties! Please keep in mind the following:

Many of our adoptable Mutts & Kitties are in foster homes, so please call 770-272-6888 to find out if the pet you are interested in is at our facility. With an approved application we can set up meet & greets and adoptions with a pet in foster care.
We are not yet up to full ‘staffing’ following the pandemic, so there may be times when we cannot do meet & greets or process an application on the spot.
The best first step is to submit an application via www.mostlymutts.org.
Our adoption counselors are happy to help make a great match for you and your family!

Adoption Info:
Please submit an application through our website at www.mostlymutts.org if you are interested in one of our adoptable pets. We are receiving a large volume of applications and processing may take a little bit longer than normal. We are grateful for your interest, and an adoption counselor will be in touch as quickly as possible. Please give us 48 hours to respond before sending a follow-up email.

Don’t see a dog or cat for you on the website? Submit the application anyway!! We are taking in a large number of dogs and cats weekly. Due to the overwhelming demand, many are matched with approved applicants prior to being posted online. Our adoption counselors will be happy to help make a great match for you and your family.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Who We Are:

Mostly Mutts is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization, staffed almost entirely by volunteers!

Our Mission is to help the Unwanted, Abandoned, Abused and Sick animals in our local counties. We fulfill this mission by working closely with County Animal Control Facilities, saving those who are in imminent danger of euthanasia, or those with needs which require specialized vet care that many other groups will not consider: major orthopedic issues, heartworm positive treatment, skin conditions, neglect and abuse
