Meet Walter
A FUN AND FRIENDLY FELLOW: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 33 lbs. Hi there! My name is Walter! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and immediately became a volunteer favorite. When I went to my foster home shortly after arriving at Mostly Mutts, I soon charmed my foster family as well! I’m now ready to steal the hearts of my new family, so plan to come meet me soon! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I haven’t met other dogs yet, but I don’t react to the dogs I pass on my neighborhood walks with my foster, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown, but I haven’t reacted to the squirrels that are in my foster’s yard, so that’s a good sign. If you have a kitty, let’s meet and see if we can be friends. / I’ve only met a 6-week-old infant while in my foster home and just politely sniffed them. So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I had the reputation at the shelter as being very sweet and curious with a calm nature. In my foster home, they describe me as ‘loving and compliant’ with some bursts of fun, playful energy. I bring a smile to faces when ever I meet someone – just a great guy! / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’ve learned the ‘sit’ command in my foster home, and I’m great on my leash walks, staying right by my foster mom. I bet you can teach me lots more! / My crate manners have been very good in my foster home. / After just a few initial accidents in my foster home, my potty manners have been very good. I think I was just getting used to my new surroundings at first. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I am a fun-natured fellow who loves to play with my toys and enjoys a good game of fetch! I’m a people dog, and I seem especially fond of women. I enjoy following my people around and sitting right by their side. Since my leash manners are great, and I enjoy my walks around the neighborhood … leash me up and let’s gooooo! / Loud noises bother me, and I seem to be a bit out of sorts if my things are out of place. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. 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 am looking for a loving home with a great furever family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
Adoption Process

Our facility is currently open to the public Monday-Saturday, 11-3. We welcome you to come meet our adoptable Mutts & Kitties! Please keep in mind the following:
Many of our adoptable Mutts & Kitties are in foster homes, so please call 770-272-6888 to find out if the pet you are interested in is at our facility. With an approved application we can set up meet & greets and adoptions with a pet in foster care.
