The rescue’s notes on Darwin

SWEET, FUN & ADORABLE: Approx. 9 years old / Approx. 15 lbs. Hi there, I'm Darwin! I'm a darling fellow who somehow found myself at animal control, and I'm so grateful to be in the Mostly Mutts family now. I got to spend a couple of days in a temporary foster home and now I'm back at the shelter having fun with the volunteers while I wait to find my new family. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and did not like them, so I'll want to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I think kids 15+ years old would be best for me. I was nippy with the 9-year-old in my temp. foster home related to food/treats, so if you have kids 15+, let's meet (the MM trainers will be happy to help you with this). • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a very sweet, curious, handsome boy who's as lovable as they come! I'm friendly, playful, fun, and active, with a little vocal flair when I'm playing. I was great for my photoshoot and showed just how charming I am, and during my bath, I was calm, gentle, and stood quietly in the tub, even sighing in deep satisfaction during the rub, scrub, and rinse. I'm a fluffy, delightful boy that you will love. / Energy level: 5-7, a little higher in the temp. foster home I visited. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'come', 'place' and 'shake' commands and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I'm doing well at the shelter with my crate manners and did well in my temp. foster home, too. / My potty manners have been good at the shelter with very few accidents and was good in the temp. foster home too. I do however mark things, but I have just been neutered, so with time and training, this should improve. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being petted, playing, and spending time with the nice volunteers. In my temp. foster home, I did some "happy growling" when playing with all the fun toys. I also enjoy a little outside time with the volunteers in the play yard. I'm sure once I'm settled into my new home, we'll discover even more things we'll enjoy together! / Other than dogs, and children around food or treats, I haven't shown any dislikes, though like all dogs, 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 just had a dental cleaning, so my mouth is fresh again – but not in the talking-back kind of way. Like all dogs that are a little bit older, I'm on a good over-the-counter joint supplement called Cosequin that I should stay on. I'm a sweet and fun-loving little dog looking for a wonderful family that will cherish me! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
