Hi, my name is Asher! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, and I’m very grateful. The volunteers are taken with my unusual breed mix and my handsome ginger brindle coat, and compact body. I bet you will too! I’m looking for a dog savvy family to lead me as I seem to have a bit of a Napoleon complex and can be reactive to things. I do very well with the MM head trainer, and she will be happy to show you what works with me! I’ll be going into the prison/foster training program offsite the week of Sept. 16th, so please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet.
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, though I can be barky when I see other dogs – not to worry – my trainer will show you how to introduce me to other dogs, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so if you have older dog-smart kids, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a sweet guy who has earned the reputation of being ‘goofy and funny’ around the shelter. I’m happy with a fun nature, though I can be a bit head shy. I am full of playful energy and am not shy about speaking my mind, so I don’t think an apartment/condo type home would be a good fit for me. I’m a lot of dog in a little package. I’m also very sweet and fun! I was a very good boy, calm and sweet for my shelter bath. Affectionate and social, I have all the traits of a great companion. I, however, am not the kind of dog you would take to the kids’ sporting events, or a busy park, etc. since I can be reactive. / My energy level is 6-8, so I am looking for a family member who will be active with me.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I will be learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer. I know the ‘sit’ command and am sure to learn lots more in the prison/foster training program. I’m very food motivated, so that will make my training fun and yummy! / I’m doing well in my little room at Mostly Mutts. / I’ve had only a couple of accidents on the shelter schedule, so I think I’ll do well in my new home once I know our schedule.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I LOVE toys and enjoy having fun with them when the volunteers break them out at the shelter. I’d enjoy a nice, fenced yard where we can have lots of play sessions together. When it’s time to chill, I always enjoy a good petting. I also enjoy my walks, but I need a strong walker, as I am a strong boy and can be reactive to people and other animals on walks. / I’ve had some challenges at the shelter with folks wearing hats, certain people, some men, etc. but not when I’m with the head trainer, so again MM will provide training assistance to help train me and I really do want to be a good dog – I just have to overcome that Napoleon complex. 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 neutered.
I am looking for a dog savvy family where I will be a cherished family member! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
