SWEET, SMART & FUN: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 42 lbs.
Hello—I’m Adina! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am so happy to be soaking up all the love from the volunteers. Now I'm ready to find a wonderful home of my own with a family to love and be loved by! I was selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience and learned a lot!
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs in the prison/foster training program, and I liked playing with them. If you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I met two nice boys around 6 years old at Mostly Mutts and did well with them, so a home with kids ages 10 and up could be a good fit for me. Let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: The volunteers describe me as friendly, active, fun, and super sweet. I’m a delightful dog who enjoys being close to people—I even crawled right into a lap while sitting outside on a rock! I'm a perfect angel for my baths and the bather says my coat is beautiful! I’m a sweet, calm soul with a bit of an energetic side, too, and I may sometimes bark when I see people or other dogs while out on walks. I can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but I’m continuing to build my confidence with my trainer where I’m learning to navigate new people. I’m making great progress every day! I got to visit a foster home for 5 days and my foster said this about me: “this girl is so sweet, smart, and friendly. I’m not sure which she enjoys more—her walks or naps.” I have gone on lots of daytrips with one of my favorite volunteers and have enjoyed the car rides, walking in the woods and sniffing all the things and even dipping my toes in the water on a hot day, followed by some rest in the shade. Do you need an adventure buddy? / Energy level: 8-10.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience 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. My temp. foster said I got excited with them at first and pulled a bit on my leash and got a little jumpy/mouthy when excited, but listened well and knew my commands so I may just need a little adjustment period to do my best. 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 in my crate at Mostly Mutts. I knew the routine well in the off-site foster training program, so I put myself to bed in the evenings after some snuggles when my trainer was winding down. I slept in my crate with the door open. I also did well in my crate in a temp. foster home. / My potty habits were good in the off-site training program so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too! I had a couple of accidents in a temp. foster home when I first got there, but they took me out a little more quickly after meals and then I did well.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy spending time with the nice volunteers and learning new things through training—I’m a smart girl who likes to stay engaged. I like toys a lot, but the stuffed ones don’t stay stuffed long, so let’s stick with the hard Nylabone type. I also like going for car rides. I’m sure once I’m settled in my new home, we’ll discover so many more things to enjoy together! / I’ve been nervous of fast movements, loud noises and larger groups of people, lawn mowers, fans and thresholds (like a doorway), but I’m working with my trainer on this. I'm also not a fan of hats so maybe try another fashion statement. Other than that, 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. Since I wasn't kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, I came to Mostly Mutts HW positive. Thankfully, I’ve been treated for it and have completed my rest period. I will have my heartworm re-check in November 2026, so local adoption is best. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.
I’m a wonderful dog looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
