More about Natalie

A LOVELY YOUNG LADY:  Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 41 lbs. Hi, I’m Natalie!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and am enjoying my time with the nice volunteers, who spend time with and take great care of me.  Now I hear that I’m ready to find a wonderful family of my very own – where I can love and be loved furever!  I hope to meet them very soon!  I 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 recently met two male dogs at Mostly Mutts and I liked one but not the other.  It seems that I pick and choose which male dogs I like, and I haven’t yet met a female dog, so if you have a nice doggie at home, let’s meet and see if we can be pals.  / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, and I don’t like being restrained, so I think older kids (10 and up) that will follow this guideline will be best – let’s meet if you have kids like this.   • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m described as a friendly, happy, and very sweet girl who might feel a little nervous at first - my photo shoot had me a bit unsure - but once I get to know you, my pretty personality really shines.  I love giving kisses and just need a little extra time to feel comfortable so I can show you how sweet I truly am. Bath time was scary for me, so we did a foam bath on the paw spa floor and I did great – enjoying the petting and I even lifted my paws for wiping.  I think I’ll adjust to regular baths once I’m comfortable in the environment. / Energy Level: 4-6.         • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have mastered the ‘sit’ command so far and I’m looking forward to learning more. / At the MM shelter, I enjoy spending time with the volunteers and the crate is not my favorite place to go back into, but once in it, I have been quiet. / I’ve had very good potty manners on the shelter schedule so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too – and perhaps I won’t need a crate. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love treats, being petted, and just being with my people – sharing quiet, loving moments together is on my favorites list. I also like taking a little extra time to get to know new people. / I’m not a fan of being rushed or restrained and 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'm HW positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that in mid-February 2026 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 was nervous and reacted negatively when being restrained during vetting, so we used a muzzle during that time.  I may need it for grooming, too, but we’re not sure yet.  I’m a nice dog looking for a wonderful family that will make sure I feel loved and at home!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
