Description:

A LOVING GIRL LOOKING FOR HER MATCH: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 53 lbs. Hi, my name is Islay (eye-la)! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control after seemingly being on my own for a good bit before that. I am so happy to be safe and in a Mostly Mutts foster home. I’ve been spending time in between two wonderful foster homes, where I am learning what it means to be loved. I am now ready to meet my furever family! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I’m best buds with the little terrier in my foster home and he only weighs 10 lbs! When we are outside, we do zoomies in the back yard and spend time hanging out! There are two older dogs who will play with me from time to time, until they are worn out and need a nap. If you have a dog or dogs, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids while with Mostly Mutts, but I can be exuberant and active at times so older children would be best – no toddlers or small children that I might bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m super sweet, loving and enjoy being with my people and dog friends. Wherever they go, I follow! I enjoy being active and would be happiest with an active family that has the time to meet my energy level and support my quest to be a great housemate. I am mostly Labrador, and like many Labs, when I am left alone, I love to sink my teeth into and shred things that don’t belong to me! I have lots of chew toys and they keep me very busy. My current foster Mom crates me when she goes to the store. When she works in the yard or the basement, I will quietly sit and watch guard. / My energy level is 6-8. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a smart girl who is very receptive to training and wants a family that enjoys training their dog. I have been attending Mostly Mutts training classes with my foster Mom. I know the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘down’ commands! I will respond well to “off” if I put my paws on counters or climb on the furniture when not invited. / I’ve had good crate manners in my current foster home, going in willingly to sleep there at night. I usually put myself to bed before my foster Mom turns in for the night. / I have good potty habits in both of my foster homes. A little whimper is my signal I need to go – and I take care of business quickly once I am outside. • LIKES/DISLIKES: In my foster homes, I’ve been treated to nice walks or hikes, and I think I would be a GREAT hiking (or running) partner for a family member who loves the outdoors. It’s a wonderful way to be sure I get the important exercise I need, and we get to spend time together (which is my favorite thing), so – it’s a win-win! I also enjoy wading in a creek, chasing balls in the yard, chew bones, carrots and Pup-Peroni treats (which I take politely). Hanging out with my people for belly rubs, brushings and being loved on is my most favorite thing of all. / I don’t like strangers coming right up to me wanting to say hello. I will decide if I want to meet and go up to them. When I am out and about, I wear my jacket that says “Nervous Rescue – I Need Space.” I don’t like to spend too much time away from my people. 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 spayed. I was very frightened for my vetting, so the vet recommends that I’m premedicated to help with that anxiety, likely muzzled as well. I did get a little snappy when at the vet, but they could tell it was only out of fear, not aggression. In my foster home, I’m just fine with being touched all over, restrained, etc. I am looking for an experienced owner who is committed to training and will guide me as I overcome my anxiety issue and be the best companion I can be. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
