Story
A FRIENDLY & ADORABLE GUY: Approx. 11 years old / Approx. 23 lbs. & needs to lose weight Hi, my name is Tex! I had a home, as I was adopted from Mostly Mutts a few years ago. Unfortunately, my family fell on hard times, so I am back with Mostly Mutts looking for a new family to love! I’m a charming little senior guy, full of love, and I’d be the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal friend. While I wait for my furever family to find me, I am in a wonderful, loving foster home – come meet me soon! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I like the older dog in my foster home, and the 2 younger and smaller dogs I met, too! I appreciate that they are mellow and calm. If one of them does something I’m not too fond of, I might growl or bark to let them know – but not in an aggressive way and I’m generally tolerant. So, if you have another a calm or older dog, that is mellow, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I met some young kids in my foster home, and I would tug at them when they’d run around me. I was sweet about it as I wanted to spend time with them, but I also wanted them to calm down, as I didn’t like them running and yelling. I think kids 12+ would be best for me, who understand that I don’t like rowdy behavior, but I do like kids. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When asked, the volunteers at the shelter describe me with one main word – SWEET! I was always excited to see them, since I am very much a people dog. I seek out attention whenever I can and have been very friendly. When guests leave my foster home, I may tug at their pants as if to stay, ‘no wait, don’t go’! My foster has started picking me up to watch guests leave as it keeps me calm. I am a ‘wonderful gentleman’ just looking for a family to love and be loved by! In my foster home, they say that I’m a sweet, friendly, gentle, and a mannerly gentleman too! I like to ‘talk’ with my fosters and sometimes we ‘sing’ together too. / My energy level is 3-5 but I still love going for daily walks with my foster! • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I do fairly well with the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, and ‘come’ commands and have shown great leash manners. I also utilize proper door etiquette and greet friendly strangers usually without jumping, though I do get excited to meet them. I take treats gently, too. My fosters can eat at the coffee table with me sitting next to them on the couch and I haven’t tried to get their food – I count that as a good skill! I consider it my job to be an alert barker like when a delivery person pulls up or a squirrel runs by, and sometimes I bark with the other dogs. I think I’d bark a bit too much at all the noises that are in an apartment building, so best no apartment/condo type home. / I don’t need a crate in my foster home. / My potty habits have been good in my foster home. My foster has pee pads for her own dog, and I will occasionally use those, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I thrive on attention and love being with people! Scratches and head kisses make me happy, and I enjoy sitting next to my foster family, but not really in their laps. I like car rides, so let’s go explore some fun places together. I may be a senior, but I still have that pep in my step! I LOVE going for walks and sometimes walk for up to 3 miles with my foster. Being outside - on walks or in the backyard with my family - makes me the happiest and I will politely bark to let her know it’s time to come back in. I’m not a big fan of toys, but I sure would be a fan of being your loving companion! / Though I ride very well in the car, my foster doesn’t think that I love to do that. I can’t think of any real dislikes, though 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. Since I’m an older fellow, I take an over-the-counter Cosequin supplement that’s good for all older dogs. I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga. February 9, 2025, 8:00 am
