Katya

A SWEET & FRIENDLY GIRL:  Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 37 lbs. Hello – I’m Katya!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am so grateful that they are dedicated to helping me find my furever home.  I recently spent a couple of days in a wonderful temporary foster home during the cold weather event, and I loved being a part of a loving home.  I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off-site and learned a lot!  I’m back at Mostly Mutts now and hope to be in my very own furever home soon!   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I was friendly with them.  I also liked playing and wrestling with the 5-year-old female dog in my temp. foster home.  I can show dominant female behavior at times, so if you have a nice doggie at home already that wouldn’t mind this, let’s meet and see if we can be pals.  / Cats unknown. / I enjoyed the company of the two boys in my temp. foster home (ages 6 and 12 years old).  I can be a bit jumpy and playfully mouthy, so best no toddlers or small children that I may bump over or unintentionally nip during play. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  The volunteers say I am a gorgeous girl with the cutest, tiny ears.  My temp. foster said I was ‘just the sweetest’ and – after a nice walk or other exercise, I settle right in with a calm demeanor.  Young and playful, I can be a bit exuberant with my play, so I will need you to help me curb my mouthiness.  I’m just young and want to play!  Though I was a bit nervous for my shelter bath, I sought comfort by clinging to my bather and was very patient for that pesky ear cleaning. / My energy level is about 4-6 at the shelter but was  higher in my temp. foster home.  • 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.  / I’ve had good crate manners at the shelter and during my recent 2-day visit in my temp foster home. / My potty habits were good in my temp. foster homes, but I am having a few accidents on the shelter schedule.  In one temp. foster home, I quickly learned to ring the potty bells on the back door to indicate that I needed to go after seeing my foster sister do it!  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love being with my people and even enjoy spending some fun time with that flat dog I see in the mirror! They do everything I do – while I am doing it – so crazy!  I love attention and will mouth at hands and legs to get it but I’m sure you can teach me not to do that.  I’m much more interested in being a people dog than playing with toys right now, but perhaps you can show me how much fun those can be.  I recently went on a day trip with a nice volunteer where I did well in the car and loved meeting new people, too! / I can’t think of any real dislikes, though 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 spayed. I am looking for a home with a loving family who will cherish me as a furry family member!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
