More about Ansel

A LITTLE LOVEBUG OF A PUPPY: Approx. 3-4 months old / Approx. 20 lbs. & growing Hi, my name is Ansel!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control.  I knew it was my lucky day when they came for me, and things got even better when I went to stay in a loving foster home!  I’ve enjoyed soaking up the love and attention there and can’t wait to do so in a home of my very own! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I  met dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, and I became phenomenally fast friends with the big dog who lives in my foster home. I love to snuggle with her and walk next to her as well as run in the yard together.  I also give her kisses and I respect her too. I’d love another doggie friend in my new home so If you have a nice dog that would like a puppy friend, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids in my foster home, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me or that I may bump over.   • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a sweet, friendly and playful guy who is quite calm for a puppy.  I have a ‘go with the flow’ nature – easily settling down in my bed, playing with my toys or taking a nap.  I’m loyal to my people and enjoy being where they are.  As a young, curious puppy, I can have a mischievous streak, so keep an eye on shoes and slippers – lol.  I seem to be gaining confidence from spending time around the dog in my foster home – she is the best!  I walk proudly next to her on my walks and am becoming a great future companion to a lucky family.  My fosters say having me in their home has ‘been a pleasure’, and I bet you will agree once I am yours! I even did well for my bath and didn’t mind some puppy clothes during the cold weather. / My energy level is 3-5, though this could change as I grow. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I know the ‘sit’ command, and my foster is working with me on ‘stay’ and ‘leave it’ currently.  I know that ‘down’ means - off the couch, and I comply.  I also have good dinnertime manners, as I sit and wait patiently for my food bowl to be put down for me.  I’m looking for a family that will teach me everything I need to know to grow up and become a wonderful adult dog – including starting to train me not to chew on you and the kids so we’ll all be happy - so get ready for some training with your new best friend. / I sleep in a crate in my foster home and have kept it clean so far. I’ve also done well in there when I was left for a few hours when my foster had to leave home. I resist going in at times, and my foster has found that going in backside first helps me not to be as anxious – I’m sure I’ll continue to improve with practice. / My potty habits are a work in progress as I’m just a baby, but I am getting the hang of it! I’ve had no nighttime accidents in my foster home, and the accidents are getting fewer every day.  Please keep me on a consistent schedule so I can master my potty skills as I’m a baby and still learning. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love a variety of toys including rope toys, as well as the squeaky ones – and I haven’t destroyed them looking for the squeaker either!  When I’m not playing, I think snuggles and belly rubs are FANTASTIC! / A social pup, I don’t care to be alone too much, and I wasn’t a fan of car rides, though I’m already improving!  Otherwise, I can’t think of things I don’t like yet since I’m so young, but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I've started my puppy shots, but you will have to finish these for me as I grow.  I’m also micro-chipped and neutered. If you’re ready for the fun and excitement of having a puppy as well as the training commitment, then let’s meet!     My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
