Disclaimer: Due to the unknown backgrounds of the pets in our care, ages are estimates only. These estimates are made by our veterinarian based on many factors including dental health and body condition. Pets are weighed upon intake, but puppy and kitten weights can change dramatically in a short period of time. We do our best to determine a dog’s breed based on visual clues, but often dogs are a mix of many different breeds. Therefore, our estimates on the mature size of a puppy or kitten may or may not be accurate.

Adopt Me

Hello—I'm Berniece! I came to Mostly Mutts due to a hoarding situation. They had good intentions, but things turned out overwhelming, so thankfully they received help and we're all safe and sound, and happy now! I'm in a wonderful foster home while I wait for my new family to come and adopt me!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've gotten along well with the other dogs in my foster home, though I will try to steal food if fed in a group, so please feed me separately from other dogs. Let's meet! If you happen to be looking for two little dogs, please consider me and my friend Evelyn, though we don't have to be adopted together. / I've done fine with the kitty in my foster home. All kitties are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with another cat. I'm also tiny, so they would need to be nice to me. / I haven't met kids in my foster home but—since I like to follow my people and can get underfoot, best no small children that I may trip up or that may fall on me, so if you have older kids, let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: Despite the living conditions we came from, my friends and I are super sweet and just want to be loved. I'm a total cuddle bug with a sweet heart and a calm, gentle soul and a touch of shyness. My favorite place to be is right in your lap, soaking up all the love and enjoying some quality time together. I'm a laid-back girl who loves being close to my people. In fact, I'd be happiest with a stay-at-home or work-from-home family member that I could just cuddle with and that would hold me a lot! / Energy level: 3-5.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don't know any specific commands, though I do walk well on my leash. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so we could take some classes together. / I stay in a puppy playpen with my friend Evelyn when needed. / My potty skills are a work-in-progress. I use puppy pads and my foster is working on my outside training, but I still have some accidents. When we're outside, please stay right with me as I'm so small that the birds of prey could easily take interest in me.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I'm always happy to snuggle up and make your day a little brighter. In fact, I think you could hold me 24 hours a day and let me sleep under your neck and I'd be thrilled! So, if you're looking for a loving companion who will happily keep your lap warm and fill your home with sweetness, I might just be your perfect girl! Meal time is a happy time, and my foster mom adds green beans or a little Fresh Pet to make my food more tasty. / Loud noises startle me and thunder is very scary! Like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I had a good dental cleaning with 23 extractions!

I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
