Joseph - Chihuahua and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Kennesaw, Georgia

A SWEET LITTLE GUY: Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 9 lbs.

Hi there, I'm Joseph! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a new home and family to love. I'm glad to be here and am enjoying my time in a wonderful foster home while I wait to meet my new family. Plan to come meet me soon and see if I am your new furry family member!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I get along well with the other dogs in my foster home. I also met dogs earlier at Mostly Mutts and was interested in them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! / I don't mind the kitties in my foster home at all. All kitties are different though, so I'm not sure how I would do with other kitties. / I like the teens that are in my foster home, so if you have kids, let's meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me as I'm very small.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a chill, sweet, and delightfully quirky little boy with a very snuggly side! I love being close to my person and would happily be your little shadow. I was also wonderful for my shelter bath, seeming quite experienced and staying comfortable, cooperative, calm, and 100% delightful throughout. In my foster home, I join my "pack friends" for a good talking session when they have something to bark at—hey, sometimes you just have to join the conversation! I’m a lovable boy with plenty of personality and lots of snuggles to share! / Energy level: currently 3-5 though this may increase a little.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I usually 'come' when called, but I haven't been working on any other commands yet. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let's do some training together. / I'm doing well in my crate in my foster home, and I did well at Mostly Mutts too. / My potty manners have been good in my foster home with only an accident on my first day. I also did well on the shelter schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love toys and treats, and I enjoy going for car rides and walks, too! Getting attention and spending time with people are also high on my list of favorite things. / 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, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual 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 also have mildly elevated liver values, so this will be tested again in a month (approx. the end of September) and Mostly Mutts will pay for that test.

I'm a wonderful little dog looking for a family that will treasure me for life! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
