AN ACTIVE & WONDERFUL FRIEND: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 46 lbs. Hi, my name is Wilson! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am enjoying my time with the volunteers, who take great care of me, but nothing will beat a home and family of my own. I was selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot! I’m currently in a great foster home while I wait for my furever family to find me. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and in my foster home and I like them a lot – so much so that my trainer uses me to help other pups learn how to play! I’m an excitedly vocal player, so if you have dogs at home already that wouldn’t mind this, let’s meet! / We all agree that I should not live with cats. I have shown a prey drive on my walks towards squirrels and other small animals; however, I was friendly with the >10 lb. chihuahua neighbor dog in my foster home. / I have met several children of various ages with my foster and have done well with them, accepting pets while displaying my calm and affectionate nature. If you have kids at home, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a friendly, fun, and happy guy with a playful, goofy, and sweet personality who is full of love. I have so much happy enthusiasm to share, and I did great during my bath, too - I even drank from the sprayer and handed out kisses. I’m a chatty, vocal player who loves to “talk” while I play with both people and other dogs. It’s just my sweet way of letting you know I’m having fun! I’m a loving, affectionate boy who can’t wait to brighten your days. I’ll need some time to adjust to my new home and will likely make a little noise until I know that I’m home and have settled in, so best no apartment. / Energy Level: 7-9. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience, so I've mastered the 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'come', 'drop it', 'leave it' and 'place' commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners using my EZ walk harness as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / The crate is not my favorite place, so I do some whining in there. In my foster home, I’m crated when my foster leaves the house and I sleep in a doggie bed in my foster’s bedroom overnight./ My potty habits are good in my foster home, where I’ve learned to ring a bell on the door to let my foster know when I need to go. If she doesn’t come quick enough, I’ll go running around the house looking for her! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with toys, especially tennis balls, and I never say no to a peanut butter treat, pup cup, or bully stick. I’ve destuffed a few toys and shredded a blanket, so please just watch me with these items. Chin scratches are the best, and they always make my tail wag! I enjoy hikes and visiting craft festivals / farmers markets with my foster where I have not minded the crowds. I look to my foster for permission to hop onto the couch. Once she gives it, I love to cuddle and snuggle with her. At the end of the day, being with my people is really what I’m after. / I can’t think of any dislikes, but I’m sure 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 neutered. I recently started 2 inexpensive stress/anxiety medications to help with some mild separation anxiety that I’m experiencing. Hopefully I will no longer need it once I’ve settled into my new home. I’m a wonderful pup looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
