Eugene

LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL FAMILY: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 17 lbs. & needs to lose weight<br/><br/>Hi, my name is Eugene! I was adopted for about a year, but my person had to travel out of the country, and I could not go with them. They are sad about this as I was very special to them, but they got me back to Mostly Mutts so I can find a new family. Returning to the shelter has been stressful for me, but the kind volunteers who are some of my old friends are helping me adjust to the routine and settle in by giving me time and space to feel comfortable. I'm looking for a home where I'll be treated very gently with a lot of patience, and a good leader so I can adjust and thrive. <br/><br/>• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I wasn't ready to play with them, I also didn't show any aggression, so if you have a dog already, let's meet! My former owner did report that I did best as an only dog while with them. / My former owner reported that I did well with the kitty in the home. All cats are different though, so I'm not sure how I'd do with another kitty. / Since I can be a sensitive guy, I think I'd do best with kids aged 15+ who know how to respect boundaries, read my signals and give me time to get to know them, so let's meet if you have kids like this! <br/><br/>• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: When returned, I arrived a bit scared and stressed, but with a bit of patience and kindness, I warm up and become what people call a "sweet lap dog" and a "bite-sized bundle of love." I thrive on attention and would much rather be cuddling with you than playing with toys. I do have some challenges with leashing and harnessing, so I need a family who can read my signals and give me the time I need to feel comfortable. I might do best with one or two people to start, but who knows—with time, I may enjoy having more friends! I've got a bit of a dramatic side and a big voice when I'm scared or unsure, so I'm not really suited for apartment or condo living. I may be small, but I've got a big heart and a big personality just waiting for the right person to help it shine. / My energy level is 4-6. <br/> <br/>• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I have learned the 'sit', 'down', 'stay', 'leave it' and 'place' commands as well as how to use proper door etiquette and accept friendly strangers without jumping on them. We can continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, and I didn't need a crate in my former home. / My former family reported that I was potty trained with potty pads. I've been doing pretty well with my outside potty manners at Mostly Mutts, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too.<br/><br/>• LIKES/DISLIKES: Once I know you, being with you makes me a happy guy. I love to sit with you, cuddle with you, and spend time together. I also like treats, but not too many please as I do need to lose some weight. If you don't see me, check the blankets before sitting on them because I love to burrow myself in a blanket and I sure don't want to get sat on. I also enjoy riding in the car! / I don't like being leashed around my neck or having hands in my face, so my leashing has been a challenge with some nipping/warnings, and I did get a couple of hands. Keeping a slack leash helps and just some patience. Otherwise, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise and training.<br/><br/>• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.<br/><br/>I am looking for a patient and wonderful family that will love me for life in a great home! My adoption fee is $299.00 and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
