In the shelter’s words

‘WINTER OLYMPICS’ THEMED MOMMA: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 45 lbs. Hi there, I’m Elana—momma to the Winter Olympics themed puppies who have all been adopted! My puppies and I came to Mostly Mutts, thanks to a kind person who helped all of us get here safely. I finished raising my puppies in a wonderful foster home, was adopted for a couple of weeks, but we weren’t a good match, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for my people. I’m sharing time between my two wonderful foster homes while I wait. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’m doing great with the dog in my foster home, who gives me boundaries when I need them. I also LOVED playing with the dogs in my former foster home, and my temporary adoptive family reported that I enjoyed the dogs I met while I was with them, too. I also did well with the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts! I’m an energetic, playful pup, so I may be a bit much for a dog who prefers a quieter lifestyle. If you have a dog who’s looking for an active playmate to romp and have lots of fun with, let’s meet! P.S. I make growly noises when I play. / When I was in a chill mood, I pretty much ignored the kitties in my former foster home, but when I was in play mode, I did a good bit of play bowing and tried to be mouthy with them and chased them—though I never harmed them. All cats are different, so I’m not sure how I would do with other cats. / I liked the kids aged 6-14 years old I met while with my foster family. I’m super active and a jumpy, mouthy player, so older children in my new home would be best. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet and friendly girl who is learning about wonderful in-home doggie life. I get excited to meet new people because I think everyone might be my new best friend! Overall, I’m pretty quiet, but I may alert bark/howl at a delivery driver or suspicious sound I hear outside. I’ve got a curious, free spirit and I love exploring the world around me—if it’s something I can sniff, pick up, or check out with my mouth or paws, I’m definitely interested! My former foster worked on teaching me to ‘drop it’ when I find something to explore that isn’t mine, and I’ll want my new family to continue that with me. New places can make me a little nervous at first, and when I get overwhelmed, I might try to run away, so I need someone who will help me feel safe and keep a close eye on me while I’m learning. A yard with a privacy fence would be a great fit for me to play in and explore with you, though my temp. family reported that I could get out of their fence, so please stay with me until you know I won’t try to do that. I’m learning how to live in a home, and my foster reports that I’m doing so well! I want a patient family who knows a good bit about dogs and training to guide me with kindness and consistency. If you’re willing to help me learn and grow, I promise to give you lots of love, hugs, and loyal companionship in return. My foster says I am ‘funny to watch and a joy to have around’ and a ‘true gem’—I bet you will agree! / My energy level is 5-6, so I need a good bit of consistent exercise. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’ and ‘shake’ commands and have pretty good leash walking manners, with just the rare zigzag now. Let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My former foster indicated it was mealtime or nap time by using the word ‘kennel’ and I would gladly go running to it. I sleep well in my crate at nighttime, and it’s been clean and dry in the mornings. / My potty habits are improving in my foster homes with just an occasional accident. So, I’ll need my new family to help me with a consistent schedule. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love to play with my doggie friends and—when it is time for a game of tug of war, I may include my people in the fun, too! Treat puzzle toys are very engaging for me, and I love peanut butter-filled Kong toys as well. Stuffed toys are just the best and I’m a true cuddle bug. In my former foster home—the evenings were fun as I’d happily run zoomies around the backyard with a toy in my mouth, getting my energy out before bedtime. I love morning and evening walks, plus the nice naps that follow. I also really enjoy belly rubs, attention, chewing on ice, and snacks! / I am fearful of storms and medication helps so please ask about this. I wouldn’t be happy in a home that’s not patient and willing to train me and be active with me, and like all dogs, I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I am looking for a loving home with a family that will be active with me and continue my training! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
