Greyson

A SUPER SWEET FRIEND: Approx. 11 years old / Approx. 34 lbs.

Hello - I'm Greyson! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am grateful to have learned that I landed in a good place with lots of wonderful volunteers to show me so much love and good care! They are going to help me find my furever family, too. You can't beat that! I just went to a foster home, where I'm patiently waiting for my forever family to find me!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some dogs recently at Mostly Mutts and although I didn't want to play with them, I was interested and didn't show any aggression. I recently shared my foster home with an energetic young dog for a little while. I played with her some, but I mostly liked having my own space. I never showed any aggression, and I was polite the whole time. If you have a nice dog at home who isn't looking for a playmate, let's meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I met a girl around 10-years-old and a teenage boy in my foster home and I liked them. I jumped up on them a bit from excitement, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a sweet and well-mannered senior gentleman who is quite energetic for my age. The volunteers also report that I'm friendly, active and playful. I'd love to have a family member that is home a good bit as I don't enjoy being in a crate and could hurt myself trying to get out. Bath time was just fine with me, and I put my friendly and loving demeanor on display for my bather. I'm ready for fun and a great life with YOU! / My energy level is 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a smart boy who knows the 'sit', 'stay', 'come', and 'leave it' commands and I also use proper door etiquette and accept friendly strangers without jumping - that old saying that 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' has been shown to be a myth so let's learn together! My foster is working with me on my leash walking skills, as I currently pull and meander some on our daily walks. I can also jump pretty high for my age. / I have to be honest and say that "I hate being crated." I do some protesting in my kennel with whining and panting and generally find it stressful. I also chewed on the plastic crate lining in my foster home when I was left in there. I would not be happy in a home where I needed to spend much time in a kennel/crate. In my foster home, I sleep in a dog bed in my foster's bedroom. / I've only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule, so keep me on a consistent good schedule, so I can fully master my potty skills.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: It is quite obvious at the shelter that I love being with people and I enjoy going for walks with them, too. I will occasionally play with a toy, but a good petting from my foster is what I'm really interested in. It is a treat for me when the volunteers sit in my room with me while I eat - I like that very much. I'm quite the social butterfly! After my walks, I enjoy chilling out for a while and taking a good long nap in one of my doggie beds. / Being alone too much and being crated do not make me happy. Otherwise, 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 had a good dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again! I'm an older fellow with a little arthritis, so I'm on a good over the counter Cosequin tablet to help keep my joints as healthy as possible. I've started 2 medications for shelter and kennel stress called Fluoxetine and Trazodone. I think I'll be able to come off these gradually once I am out of the shelter and in my new loving home.

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