About Elana

'WINTER OLYMPICS' THEMED MOMMA: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 45 lbs. Hi there, I'm Elana—momma to the Winter Olympics themed puppies who have all been adopted! My puppies and I came to Mostly Mutts, thanks to a kind person who helped all of us get here safely. I finished raising my puppies in a wonderful foster home, was adopted for a couple of weeks, but we weren't a good match, so I'm back with Mostly Mutts looking for my people. I'm in another wonderful foster home while I wait. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I'm doing great with the dog in my foster home, who gives me boundaries when I need them. I also LOVED playing with the dogs in my former foster home, and my temporary adoptive family reported that I enjoyed the dogs I met while I was with them, too. I also did well with the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts! I'm an energetic, playful pup, so I may be a bit much for a dog who prefers a quieter lifestyle. If you have a dog who's looking for an active playmate to romp and have lots of fun with, let's meet! / When I was in a chill mood, I pretty much ignored the kitties in my former foster home, but when I was in play mode, I did a good bit of play bowing and tried to be mouthy with them and chased them—though I never harmed them. All cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with other cats. / I liked the kids aged 6-14 years old I met while with my foster family. I'm super active and a jumpy, mouthy player, so older children in my new home would be best. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a super sweet and friendly girl who is learning about wonderful in-home doggie life. I get excited to meet new people because I think everyone might be my new best friend! Overall, I'm pretty quiet, but I may alert bark/howl at a delivery driver or suspicious sound I hear outside. I've got a curious, free spirit and I love exploring the world around me—if it's something I can sniff, pick up, or check out with my mouth or paws, I'm definitely interested! My former foster worked on teaching me to 'drop it' when I find something to explore that isn't mine, and I'll want my new family to continue that with me. New places can make me a little nervous at first, and when I get overwhelmed, I might try to run away, so I need someone who will help me feel safe and keep a close eye on me while I'm learning. A yard with a privacy fence would be a great fit for me to play in and explore with you, though my temp. family reported that I could get out of their fence, so please stay with me until you know I won't try to do that. I'm learning how to live in a home, and my foster reports that I'm doing so well! I want a patient family who knows a good bit about dogs and training to guide me with kindness and consistency. If you're willing to help me learn and grow, I promise to give you lots of love, hugs, and loyal companionship in return. My foster says I am 'funny to watch and a joy to have around' and a 'true gem'—I bet you will agree! / My energy level is 7-9, so I need a good bit of consistent exercise. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the 'sit', 'stay', 'down' and 'shake' commands and have pretty good leash walking manners, though I still zigzag a bit. Let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My former foster indicated it was mealtime or nap time by using the word 'kennel' and I would gladly go running to it. I sleep well in my crate at nighttime, and it's been clean and dry in the mornings. / My potty habits were improving in my foster home and my temp. family reported that I was mostly potty trained, though I did still have a few accidents. So, I'll need my new family to finish my potty training. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love to play with my doggie friends and—when it is time for a game of tug of war, I may include my people in the fun, too! Treat puzzle toys are very engaging for me, and I love peanut butter-filled Kong toys as well. Stuffed toys are just the best and I'm a true cuddle bug. In my former foster home—the evenings were fun as I'd happily run zoomies around the backyard with a toy in my mouth, getting my energy out before bedtime. I love morning and evening walks, plus the nice naps that follow. I also really enjoy belly rubs, attention, chewing on ice, and snacks! / I wouldn't be happy in a home that's not patient and willing to train me and be active with me, and like all dogs, 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 am looking for a loving home with a family that will be active with me and continue my training as I learn all the things that will help me be a great companion! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
