Yvette

A SWEET & LOVING GIRL: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 40 lbs. & needs to lose weight

Hi, my name is Yvette! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control along with another doggie friend. I think I can speak for both us when I say we are grateful to now be part of the MM family! I'm enjoying spreading all the love around to the volunteers at the shelter, and I am now ready to bring lots of joy to my new home! Let's meet and see if we are the perfect match for a life of love and fun! You'll notice, I've been fed too much in the past, so I'm on the green bean diet and would like my family to help me shed some weight.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and - though just a little shy and shut down at the time we met - I did fine. I showed some possible toy guarding in a temp. foster home when one of the dogs came near the gate that separated us, but I was also new to the home, so please ask the MM trainers about that. I DID come in with another dog that I liked, so if you have a nice doggie at home, let's meet and see if we can be pals! / A 16-year-old cat walked by me in a temp. foster home and I was not fazed. All cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would be with another cat. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a super sweet girl who can be a bit shy initially, but my calm and loving nature begins to emerge once I know you are my friend. I've done best on my walks when the volunteers take a moment to sit down with me and talk calmly to me. It seems to build my confidence for the walk, and then I do well on my leash. I was relaxed and calm during my bath - seeming to look at it as a big adventure. My sweet face and cute underbite will bring a smile to your face - every time. / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'come' and 'drop it' commands, and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and in a temp. foster home. / My potty habits have been very good on the shelter schedule and in a temp. foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I'm all about the love once I know we are buddies. Your calm words of encouragement will help me continue to grow my confidence, so let's hang out together and have some nice 'conversations' - with some cuddles and kisses thrown in. / I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm taking a good over-the-counter Cosequin tablet as I have a mild luxating patella in my right rear knee - grade 2. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.

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