Mattie Terrier & Beagle Mix Kennesaw, GA

A SWEET & FRIENDLY GIRL: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 29 lbs.

Hi there, I’m Mattie! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and I’m very happy to be here! I’ve been getting to know and love all the nice volunteers, but I’m really looking forward to finding my very own family to love! Perhaps you? I’m currently in the prison/foster training program offsite and learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I’m available to meet.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I liked playing with the dogs I met in the prison/foster training program, however, when I met dogs at the MM shelter, it seemed overwhelming to me. So, if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet with my trainer away from the shelter and see if we can be pals. / In one of my temp. foster homes, I met their multiple kitty cats, and I looked at them, but wasn’t really interested in them. In my other temp. foster home, I saw their cat from afar and didn’t react or chase them, so if you have a kitty, let’s meet. / I recently met kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and though a little nervous at first, I warmed up to them nicely. They were calm and understood that I am new to kids, which I appreciated. So, if you have mellow kids aged 10+ that will understand to go slow with me, let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: Though shy and skittish with my new environment when I first arrived, I’ve settled in nicely and now I’m comfortable with the nice volunteers I’ve met! They describe me as “friendly, sweet, and playful” and say I have a “great personality!” Once I know you, I get the full body wiggles of excitement when I see you! I am quite the lovebug and have a certain loyalty to my people where I remember them after meeting them. / My energy level is currently 4 – 6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, and ‘leave it’ commands and I look forward to learning more. / My crate manners have been good at Mostly Mutts and in a temp foster home I liked my crate covered with a sheet. / My potty habits were good on the prison/foster training program schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too!

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love toys, so let’s get lots of those! I also just love being outside with the volunteers! So, I’d be thrilled to have a family that loves the great outdoors too! I ride well in the car, so let’s go on some adventures. We can go for walks, lie in the sun, play in the yard, roll around in the grass, etc. I would really love a fenced in yard in my future home as I love getting my energy out by running all around the yard and exploring as well as playing with you. I went for a fourth of July sleepover, and my temp. foster reported that I was oblivious to the firework bangs, my happy tail wagging self the whole time. / Some loud noises (including thunder) really startle me, so please keep a nice hold of my leash in case I get startled when we’re walking. I’m initially nervous of sudden movements. 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.

If you’re looking for a sweet girl, come meet me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
