A FRIENDLY LITTLE FELLOW: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 14 lbs.
Hi, I'm Newton! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and 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. I got to spend some time in a nice foster home and now I'm ready to find my new family.
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I can be around other dogs but should NOT live with another dog due to guarding food and treats and these things cannot be around us when we're together. There was a bite related to this guarding, so just ask about that. / I ignored the cat in my former foster home, but all cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would be with another kitty, and no food or treats should be around us. / I haven't met kids yet, but Mostly Mutts thinks kids 15+ who can follow the guidelines with food and treats that work with me, so if you have kids like this, let's meet.
• 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, curious and everyone says I'm such a good dog and a little sweetheart. I have fun little bursts of energy and cuteness—rolling around in the grass, chasing my tail, tossing a toy in the air and doing that cute little prayer paws pose with a little dance when I am so hopeful you will give me a treat. I am also very affectionate and can give kisses for days. I followed my former foster around like a little shadow—do you need one? / Energy level: 3-5, but may increase a bit after my heartworm treatment.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'come' and 'place' commands and I also know how to accept friendly strangers without jumping. 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 did well in my crate at Mostly Mutts and slept well in a little pen area with an open crate in my former foster home. / My potty habits were good in my foster home.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love cuddles, pets, scritches, kisses, food and I enjoy going for walks, exploring all the sniffs and sights. I also love to roll around outside in the sunshine. Once I'm settled into my new home, I'm sure we'll discover lots more things we will love to do together! / I get a little nervous during baths and car rides and like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention 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 in early October 2026, and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet, so local adoption please. 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 on medicated baths once a week a little while longer to help with flaky skin from a flea allergy and these can be done easily in my new home.
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.
