More about Tatum

A LOVELY & SWEET GIRL:  Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 29 lbs. Hi there, I’m Tatum!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my forever family to adopt me.  I’m in a wonderful foster home while I wait and I’m feeling grateful, hopeful, and excited for this new chapter!   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and wasn’t quite ready to play with them, though I didn’t show any aggression, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / 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 may look like a wirehaired dog, but I’m actually very soft to the touch.  I’m described as a friendly, sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl with a curious and calm nature, and I was delightful during my bath at the shelter.  I came in a bit shy, but have grown and opened up in my foster home.  I may bark at strangers while out on walks with my foster, but if someone comes up to say hello, I’ve been happy to accept pets and wag my tail – though I appreciate that they don’t touch my hind quarters until I get to know them. / Energy level: 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I showed that I know the ‘sit’ command when I was at the shelter and I’m sure you can teach me lots more! / I did well in my crate when I was at Mostly Mutts and I haven’t used a crate in my foster home.  I sleep on my fosters’ bed, and I stay in my fosters’ bedroom when they are away.  I’ve been good so far and haven’t chewed anything when left alone out of the crate, so perhaps I won’t need one. / I’m doing well with my potty manners in my foster home with only 1 accident and did the same when I was at the shelter.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love cuddling and just spending time with my people, going for walks, and playing with toys - they’re some of my favorite things to do.  I’m sure we’ll discover lots of other things we’ll enjoy doing together once I’m settled in my new home. / I don’t like being petted near my backside by people I’ve just met, and like any dog, I wouldn’t be happy without enough love, attention, exercise, and training.  • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I’m a sweet girl looking for a great furever home!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
