Meet Punky

A SMART & ACTIVE FRIEND:  Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 63 lbs.     Hi, I’m Punky!  I was adopted as a young puppy, but things didn’t work out long term as I came into my Cattle Dog traits, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for a Cattle Dog loving home!   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some nice dogs at Mostly Mutts and played well with them!  My former family also reported that I liked the dogs I met while I was with them.  I played well with the dogs in my temp. foster home, a 7-year-old pug and a 12-year-old golden retriever.  Best no smaller dogs though as I do have prey drive. / No cats due to prey drive. / I met kids recently at Mostly Mutts and LOVED THEM, and I liked the kids in my former family, though I was wary of their friends coming into the home, so kids 15+ would be best.  Let’s meet!  • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My trainer describes me as very sweet and lovable, well behaved, and well trained too.  I’m affectionate and have a protective nature which is me being true to my breed.  I’ve shown some guarding of my people and my home towards strangers entering.  Mostly Mutts is working with me on this and will work with my new family too!  / My energy level is 4 – 6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program, and I've mastered the 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'come', 'leave it' and 'place' commands so far.  I also use proper door etiquette and accept nice strangers without jumping on them at Mostly Mutts. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and were good in my former home too. / My potty habits are good at Mostly Mutts and were good in my former home too. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I like learning so you can train me to do a lot! I also like being active with my people, cuddling and playing.  A volunteer took me to play in a stream at the park and I really enjoyed that.  I also do well in the car and love being outside so take me on some fun adventures!  / Other than the above-mentioned things, I’m a bit hesitant walking around traffic, but I’m getting better, and the iRobot vacuum in my temp. foster home was a bit of a menace.  Otherwise, 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 spayed. I’m looking for a great family, that knows my breed, to have a great life with!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
