Hi, I’m Bolton! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. I don’t remember my past, but it seems clear that I didn’t live an easy life. Well, the day I was rescued began my second chance and I’m happy about that! I’m looking for a kind and loving family who’s ready to welcome a loyal and loving companion into their lives. I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and in my temporary foster home and I was friendly with them. I enjoy a game of tag with other dogs, running towards them then away from them hoping they will chase me. If you have a nice doggie at home who loves to play, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / No cats in my new home please, as I like to chase them. / I met nice kids around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so kids 10+ in my new home could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm sweet, gentle, and a little goofy. I love sniffing around — I'm a hound, after all — and I’m always curious and ready to use my nose to explore. I can be playful and silly, but I’m just as happy to chill and relax with you. I am a happy boy, and my temp. foster described me as a sweet pup who ‘lights up every room I walk into.’ I would love to brighten your day as well! I’m aware of my size, so I don’t play too roughly or knock anything over while playing. I’m a good boy for my baths, so that’s a plus, too! / Energy level: 6-8.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners using my gentle leader as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and in the prison/foster training program. In my temp. foster home, I didn’t really need one and I’d prefer to be with you. / I had good potty habits in the prison/foster training program, as well as in temp. foster homes I’ve visited, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too!
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I may be 8 years old, but I have a puppy energy at heart! I love toys and playing (especially outside!), so let’s have some fun play times together. I also love to go on daytrips with the nice volunteers, but I have chewed several leashes in half while in the car, so please be aware of this and keep me safe in another way. Maybe a chain leash and harness when in a car? My trainer may have some other ideas so please ask about this. I recently went on a day trip to Home Depot and the MM Market with some nice volunteers, and I enjoyed greeting lots of nice people, kids, and dogs. It’s so fun to go places together! / 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 came in with some thin fur in a few areas. I am done with my medicated baths now and my skin and fur are looking great. I also came to MM very skinny but have gained weight with proper nutrition. My tummy has been a bit sensitive, so I’ve started eating a prescription food called Hill’s Science Diet w/d Multi-Benefit to help with that – so just ask about this. I have mild/moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.
I’m looking for a great family to show me the love and care I missed out on before being rescued. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
