A FRIENDLY LITTLE FELLOW: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 14 lbs.

Hi, I’m Newton! 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—they are so much fun to hang out with! 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 and charm them with my cuteness! I came in heartworm positive, but I'll be treated for that soon, so local adoption please.

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and though I wasn't quite ready to play, I also 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 may fall on me.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a curious boy with a little pep in my step and a whole lot of sweetness! I’m friendly, loving, and happy, and the volunteers say I'm such a good dog and a little sweetheart. I needed some special baths when I first arrived, and they were pretty scary at first, but the wonderful bathing team helped me feel more comfortable and I was very brave for them. I especially enjoyed being wrapped in a cozy towel afterward and giving kisses! I also loved the ear rubs they gave me and of course soaking up attention from them. / Energy level: 4-6.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'come', 'leave it', 'drop it' and 'place' commands and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I'm doing well in my crate at Mostly Mutts. / I've only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule, so hopefully I'll do well in my new home.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddles and kisses, and I enjoy going for walks with the volunteers. Once I’m settled into my new home, I'm sure we’ll discover lots more things we will love to do together! / I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, 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 neutered. Sadly, I wasn’t kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, so I'm heartworm positive. The good news is that I'll be treated for that soon, and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet. I hope to be with my new family before treatment begins! 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'm a little sweetheart looking for a wonderful family that will take great care of me and love me forever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
