Description:
LOOKING FOR A GREAT LEADER: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 34 lbs. Hi there, I'm Caleb! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I sure am happy to be here! I also came in heartworm positive, but I have been treated for that now. I got to spend some time in the prison/foster training program where I had a great time and learned a lot, too! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've met some dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so if you have a dog at home already, let's meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, but at times I get intense when playing with my toys (I’m working on that now), so let’s say mature kids 15 years and older and let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m described as a friendly, sweet, active, tail-waggy guy who is very playful and has the best big ears. My enthusiasm for play sometimes manifests itself in me grabbing at toys quickly as you try to reach for them. Let my trainers show you how I have mastered my self-control in this area. The volunteers say I am a “super lovable, trainable, well behaved young guy”. I am definitely ready for lots of playtime! / My energy level is 8 - 10, so I'll want to be active with my family. • 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. / I’m doing well in my crate. / It took 2 days in the prison/foster training program for me to get the hang of the potty schedule, then I did great on a strict 3-4 hour let-out schedule, so I think I would do best with an at-home family member who can be patient and consistent as I adjust in my new home. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing with toys, walking with a tennis ball in my mouth, my training sessions and spending time with the nice volunteers. I love going on day trips with the nice volunteers. Sniffing around the park or a hiking trail is so exciting. I can’t wait to do the same with you! / I don’t like being picked up and will growl. I don’t like it when people grab me by the collar or come at my head or neck too fast. 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 have completed my heart worm treatment, and I will have my re-check in June 2024, which Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of at their vet, so local adoption would be best. I’ll likely need to be muzzled or premedicated for vetting as I wasn’t a fan of that. If you’re looking for a great dog and are a good leader, we could be a great match! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
