A SWEET LOVE BUG: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 25 lbs.
Hi, my name is Jimmy! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I am so grateful for the love and good care I’ve been receiving – both at the shelter and in some recent foster homes. I’m now ready to meet my new furever family, and that makes me super happy!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I liked the dogs in my previous foster home and would engage them in play, so if you have a nice doggie at home, let’s meet! / I had no reaction to the cat in one of my former foster homes, so I may become friends with a dog-friendly kitty. / In my former foster home, I did well with the 3- and 6-year-olds that lived there as well as the teen in another foster home. I do jump for attention, so best no toddlers that I may accidentally bump over and - of course, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: The volunteers say I am ‘the cutest beagle that there ever was’. I was pretty scared when I first arrived at the shelter, but – true to my curious beagle nature, I started to come out of my shell when I had something to sniff. I’m a gentle soul with a calm and very sweet demeanor. I am a bit shy, but I am also an affectionate love bug, so I don’t stay shy too long. An active chewer, you’ll want to have chew toys available and put away anything I could get into mischief with by chewing. I’m a social guy and want to be where my people are. I’ve been pretty quiet other than when I saw myself in a mirror – who is that and where did they come from? / My energy level is 4-6, though higher when it’s playtime.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I will be learning lots of great commands with my trainer. Check back soon to see my progress. I was unfamiliar with stairs in one of my foster homes, so I may need to learn those in my new home. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. In my foster home, I cried the first night but settled in better after that, though it’s not my favorite place to spend a lot of time in. Because of my love for chewing on things, it’s best that I’m crated when you are not with me. / Other than a couple of accidents in my crate, my potty habits have been good on a consistent schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being near my people - giving and receiving affection. Being held and getting those great belly rubs – they are a mandatory part of my cuddle sessions! I enjoy playing with people and toys alike, so let’s have lots of fun play sessions together and lots of toys and appropriate things for me to chew on. Chewing is a favorite pastime and – if left alone, I may become anxious and chew whatever is available, so be mindful of items in my environment that you don’t want to fall victim to my chewing. / I am not fan of cold weather like lots of dogs and baths aren’t my favorite thing either. I sometimes startle at unfamiliar household noises, but I’m sure I’ll get used to the noises in my new home given a little time. 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 am looking for a great home with a loving family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
