Wilson

AN ACTIVE & WONDERFUL FRIEND: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 46 lbs.

Hi, my name is Wilson! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am enjoying my time with the volunteers, who take great care of me, but nothing will beat a home and family of my own. I spent time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them a lot - so much so that my trainer uses me to help other pups learn how to play! I'm an excitedly vocal player, so if you have dogs at home already that wouldn't mind this, let's meet! We should also be fed separately. / We all agree that I should not live with cats. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, but I have mildly guarded my food so best no toddlers or young children that may not understand this about me.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a friendly, fun, and happy guy with a playful, goofy, and sweet personality who is full of love. I have so much happy enthusiasm to share, and I did great during my bath, too - I even drank from the sprayer and handed out kisses. I'm a chatty, vocal player who loves to "talk" while I play with both people and other dogs. It's just my sweet way of letting you know I'm having fun! I showed a little food guarding behavior when I first arrived, but it was very mild and is well managed after working with my trainer. Precautions should be taken in a new environment, and my trainer will show you how to maintain what I've learned, so please just ask about that. I'm a loving, affectionate boy who can't wait to brighten your days. I'll need some time to adjust to my new home and will likely make a little noise until I know that I'm home and have settled in, so best no apartment. / Energy Level: 7-9.

• 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 EZ walk harness as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let's continue my training together. / The crate is not my favorite place, so I do some whining in there. / My potty habits are slowly improving on a good schedule. Please keep me on a consistent schedule, so that I can fully master my potty skills.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with toys, especially tennis balls, and I never say no to a peanut butter treat. I've destuffed a few toys and shredded a blanket, so please just watch me with these items. Chin scratches are the best, and they always make my tail wag! At the end of the day, being with my people is really what I'm after. / I can't think of any dislikes, but 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 neutered. I recently started 2 inexpensive stress/anxiety medications to help with some mild separation anxiety that I'm experiencing. Hopefully I will no longer need it once I've settled into my new home.

I'm a wonderful pup looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
