Meet Natalia

LEARNING TO LOVE & TRUST:  Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 11 lbs.     Hi, my name is Natalia!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and – while I am grateful to no longer be there, I arrived scared and unsure – hiding under my bed - and am learning to build my trust in the kind volunteers at the shelter.  They are going slow with me and – with their love and attention, I am learning that I am indeed in a safe place with a great life ahead of me.  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and was a bit nervous when they wanted to play, but I did show some interest.  So, if you have a dog, let’s meet and see if we can be pals. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids at Mostly Mutts, but I’ve had a few instances of nipping and biting when stressed or unsure, so it’s best I don’t live with kids.    • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I am a cute and friendly girl, but I like to warm up in my own time, so please go slow with me in my new home until I feel comfortable and know I am safe and loved.  The volunteers have brought out my sweet nature by sitting and letting me come to them, so I don’t feel rushed.  I’ve shown my playful side with interest in toys, so I am sure we will have a great time together once I settle in. I’d like a quieter type of home that doesn’t have a lot of new people coming into it. / My energy level is 4 - 6.   • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I will be  learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer.  Check back soon to see what I have learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts when the volunteers go slow and let me approach them first. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too.    • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I like attention, but may not accept it right away, as I need to warm up to my people a bit.  Once comfortable though, I do enjoy all the petting that comes my way.  Toys are fun, so let’s make time for some great play sessions. / I will not be happy being rushed in new situations, or in a home that has a lot of folks coming and going, so be patient with me and give my trust time to develop, please.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed.  I have a luxating patella (grade 2 to 3 out of 6) which is not uncommon in some small dogs like me, so an anti-inflammatory medication can be given to me as needed.  I should also stay on a Cosequin tablet daily to help my joints feel their best. Just ask about this.  I am looking for a wonderful, quiet home where I will receive the love and attention all doggies deserve!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
