LOOKING FOR KINDNESS: Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 55 lbs.
Hi, I’m Bolton! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. I don’t remember my past, but it seems clear that I didn’t live an easy life. Well, the day I was rescued began my second chance and I’m happy about that! I’m looking for an amazing family that loves the underdogs and wants to give me the best life! I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off site and learned a lot!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was friendly with them. I enjoy a game of tag with other dogs, running towards them then away from them hoping they will chase me. If you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm sweet, gentle, and a little goofy. I love sniffing around — I'm a hound, after all—and I’m always curious and ready to use my nose to explore. I can be playful and silly, but I’m just as happy to chill and relax with you. I am a happy boy, but I tend to hang my head lower which could be a social/submissive behavior from whatever my past was. With the help of the awesome volunteers, I’m gaining confidence every day! I’m a good boy for my baths, so that’s a plus, too! / Energy level: 5-7.
• 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. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and in the prison/foster training program, though I don’t really need one. / I have good potty habits in the prison/foster training program, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too!
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I’ve shown some interest in toys, so perhaps we can find some together that I like. / 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 neutered. I came in with some thin fur in a few areas, so I’m getting medicated baths once a week which can be done in my new home. I also came to MM very skinny but have gained weight with proper nutrition. I have mild/moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.
I’m looking for a great family to show me the love and care I missed out on before being rescued. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
