Shellie's Story

YOUR ‘ONLY PET’ BEST FRIEND: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 30 lbs.<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Shellie! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and I’m sure happy to be here and thankful for a second chance at living a great life! I’m ready to find my new family and have some fun as well as show them what a great companion I’ll be. I was adopted for a few days, but it wasn’t a good fit as I did not like the cat and I need to work on my food and toy possessiveness which I’m doing now with my trainer. I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot!<br/><br/>• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and do not like them so I’ll want to be your only pet. / I met a cat in a temporary home, and we learned that I should not live with cats due to my strong prey drive. (No cats were harmed in this discovery.) / There was an 11-year-old in my foster home, and I did great with them (they knew not to take things away from me), but more mature kids - aged 15+ that will follow the rules that work for me would be best, let’s meet.<br/><br/>• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My former foster described me as a loving friend who gave lots of kisses and was also a bit ‘mouthy’ like a puppy! I was delightful for the Mostly Mutts photographer as I showed how much I enjoyed cuddling and being in a lap. A very sweet and lovable friend, I’m looking forward to showering my family with love! I am a bit possessive of my food, toys and anything in my mouth and there was 1 bite related to this, so I’ve been working on it with my trainer, who has implemented controlled locations for my meals, as well as accompanying commands – so please just ask about this. My trainer also taught me the command ‘drop it’ to trade my toys and bones for a high value treat. / Energy level: 5-7, so I’ll want to be active with my new family.<br/><br/>• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, and I know the ‘sit’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’, ‘down’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’ commands. I also utilize proper door etiquette, accept friendly strangers without jumping, and walk nicely on a leash. My trainer is working with me on my possessive behaviors as there was 1 bite related to this. My trainer would be happy to talk to and work with you on this. Mostly Mutts recommends a trainer to continue my training after adoption. / I am described as pretty relaxed in my crate and I did well in my temp. home, too. / I did really well with my potty manners in my foster home with no accidents as well as the temp. home I was in for a few days. <br/><br/>• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love going for walks, playing with toys, cuddling and being in laps as well as getting my head and ears scratched and my tummy rubbed. I also like pawing at my people’s feet - lol. / I can be a little shy when first meeting new people, so I do best when given time to approach at my own pace — if rushed, I may choose to run and hide. See personality/skills section of my profile and 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 spayed.<br/><br/>I’m a great dog looking for a great family to love that will follow the rules that have been established to help me be successful! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
