A SWEET & WONDERFUL GIRL: Approx. 6 years old / Approx. 28 lbs.

Hi, I'm Jolene! I'm an adorable girl who thankfully made my way to Mostly Mutts after being rescued from a cruelty case. I came in with patches of fur loss along my body, likely from chemical burns, but thankfully my skin has healed and some of my beautiful fur is already growing back. We don't know yet how much of it will return, but I'm not letting my past define me. I've left those days behind and am looking ahead with a happy heart to a bright future filled with love, gentle care, and all the good things I deserve. I'm ready to find my special family and show them just how sweet and loving I am! I also came in heartworm positive, but I'll be treated for that soon and I hope to be with my new family before my treatment starts.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and did not like them, so I'd like to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a sweet, affectionate, and friendly girl with a busy, playful personality and plenty of happy energy! I can be a little unsure at times, but once I'm comfortable, I love being close to people and even give great hugs. I was wonderfully calm for my bath and ear cleaning, too. I can be somewhat of a door dasher, so please take care around doors and gates to help keep me safe and prevent me from getting lost. I'm a fun-loving girl with lots of affection to share! / Energy level: 5-7.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'down', 'come' and 'leave it' commands as well as how to accept friendly strangers without jumping on them. I look forward to learning more, so let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I'm having some accidents on the shelter schedule as I'm sure I wasn't properly trained in my former situation, so I'll need my new family to help me master this.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love toys, cuddle time, and being close to people as well as being active with them! I may jump for joy when I'm excited, but what I really want is a cozy lap, lots of pets, and plenty of love and attention. / Other than being mistreated I can't think of 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 spayed. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. Since I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention previously, I'm HW positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that soon and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet, so local adoption please. I hope to be with my family before treatment starts!

I'm a wonderful dog looking for a family that will treasure me for life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
