Andie

A LOVING & ACTIVE GIRL: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 49 lbs.

Hi there, I'm Andie, but I answer to the name Pepper (please refer to Andie though when inquiring about me as that's the name all my records are under). I was adopted as a puppy, but sadly that didn't work out long term, so I'm back with Mostly Mutts. My previous family cared about me very much, but wasn't able to provide the time, training, and exercise I needed, and there was also an allergy in the home. I am currently in a wonderful foster home and I look forward to a fresh start with a well-matched forever family. I got to participate in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I liked the male doggies, but I didn't care to play with the females, although I didn't show any aggression. If you have a dog at home already, let's meet and see if we can be pals. / My former family reported that I did not like cats and I tried to chase the cat in a temp foster home I visited, so best no cats. / I liked the kids I met with my former family though I don't recall their ages, so if you have kids, let's meet and best no toddlers or young children that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a very sweet, playful, friendly, and loving girl with a soft coat and a smart mind. In my former home, I'd sit outside the kitchen while my family cooked and was just happy to be near them. I'll also lie at your feet and I'd thrive with a stay-at-home or work-from-home family member that I can pal around with. I was amazing in the paw spa, too, sitting calmly for my bath and ear cleaning, showing off what a happy, well-behaved, loving (and strong!) girl I am. I may need a little extra time to warm up to tall male strangers, and going slow helps me feel safe and confident. / Energy level: 5-7, though my former family reported it was a bit higher, so I'd love a family that will be active with me.

• 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 as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for all their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, and they were also good in my former home as well as in a foster home where I slept in there through the night (even with the door open!) / My potty manners were good in the prison/foster training program as well as in my foster home. Hopefully, that will be the case in my new home, too!

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being close to my people - some say right under your feet at times, soaking up snuggles and good belly rubs, and going for walks where I smile the whole time. I also enjoy racing around outside - especially in a fenced-in yard with my family where I leap with happiness like a little baby goat - I can jump quite high! I recently visited Downtown Woodstock, where I enjoyed a pup cup and showed off my sweet demeanor by politely greeting everyone I met. Squeaky toys are fun, and I also love car rides and strawberries. / I wasn't a fan of the blow dryer after a bath in my former home, so just towel dry me - easy peasy! Other unfamiliar loud noises have frightened me too, but my foster is working with me doing some exposure therapy. I also wouldn't be happy being alone too much or in a home where I didn't get enough love, attention, training and exercise.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on my annual immunizations, micro-chipped and spayed. When I arrived at MM, I had some dry skin that is looking better now and is maintained with a daily fish oil supplement.

I'm a wonderful girl looking for a family that will be active with me and love me furever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
