‘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.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I absolutely LOVED playing with the dogs in my former foster home and my temporary adoptive family also reported that I liked the dogs I met while I was with them! I am pretty energetic and may be a bit much for a dog who is not looking for an active doggie friend. If you have a dog who is looking for a fur friend to have big play sessions 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 like the kids I’ve met while with my former foster family. I’m super active and a jumpy, mouthy player, so older children in my new home would be best while I learn good play manners with kids.

• 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! 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 was working 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 still figuring out how to live in a home, so I don’t really have my manners down yet and I can be playfully mouthy as I learn. I’ll need 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 former foster says I am ‘funny to watch and a joy to have around’ – I bet you will agree! / My energy level is 7-9, so I need a good bit of consistent exercise.
