Meet Dexter

LOOKING FOR A GOOD LEADER:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 15 lbs.  Hi, my name is Dexter!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control.  I’m grateful for the good care I’m receiving here while I wait for my new family to find me.  I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off site and learning a lot!  Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet.  I’d like a good leader as I may have some guarding tendencies which is a trainable trait and the trainers at Mostly Mutts will be happy to help with that.  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met some dogs in the prison/foster training program and liked the mellow ones that were around my size, as larger dogs made me nervous, so if you have a dog like this, let’s meet and see if we can be pals.  / Cats unknown. / No kids as I tend to be nervous and unsure around them and may show guarding behaviors, and I have bitten related to this.    • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I was a little scared and shy when I first arrived at Mostly Mutts, but the patience of the volunteers and treats have helped me with that.  Though it took me a bit to warm up, I soon showed my super sweet and gentle nature and am quite grateful for the love and care I’m receiving. However, I need to meet and approach people on my own terms as new people make me nervous.  My reaction to them in “my house” is inappropriate - I may charge, I may hide, and I will definitely bark.  Meeting them on a leash has been very effective in the prison/foster training program.  Since I am a bit of a barker, I shouldn’t live in an apartment/condo type home.  Once I know you’re my people, I’m affectionate and loving – ready to bring lots of joy to my new family.  / My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and can't wait to learn lots of new skills with my trainer! So far, I have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘down’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also accept nice strangers without jumping.  / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / My potty habits have been good on the foster/prison training program schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I am an adorable cuddler who likes to spend my time collecting all the snuggles from the nice volunteers and trainers.  I like belly rubs and to give kisses.  I adore my trainers and they say I will do best in a quiet home without a lot of folks coming and going.  I visited a home recently where I loved exploring in the yard.  / New things outdoors scare me a bit, so give me a little time to get used to them. Other than the things mentioned above, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’ve had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again.  I am looking for a quieter type of home with a good leader so I can live my best life with you!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
