A ONE PERSON TYPE OF GAL:  Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 26 lbs.  Hi, my name is Madelyn!  I had a home, but my owner was older and could no longer take care of me, then I was adopted but I didn’t get along with the dog in the home, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts looking for a calm, one person/female type home. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I’d like to be your only dog as I guard my food and my person and don’t want to share them.  I was reported to not be very nice to the other dog in the home. / I did fairly well with the cats in my first home, though I did chase and herd them.  I’d rather just be your only pet and not have to share you. / No kids due to the above information. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  The volunteers report that if they are confident, then I am confident.  I also like it when my visitors have treats, lol.  Let me come to you and give me a few minutes to realize we are friends – then I have been fine, friendly, and tail-wagging.  I am a little wire-haired sweetie once my true nature shows, who is generous with kisses and enjoys being petted, especially head scratches.  My foster mom says I am “an absolute pleasure, very loving, and a good girl”!  I have not been trusting of men though, at Mostly Mutts or in my foster home, so I want my person to be a female please. My former owner said that sometimes I talk, and it sounds like I’m grumbling. / My energy level is 4-6. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m in the Mostly Mutts University training program and know the ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands so far. I pull a bit on my leash, so my foster mom is working with me on my leash manners now.  She says I am making good progress!  / I do pretty well in my room at the shelter, but don’t think I used a crate in my former home.  I got to sleep in bed with my person. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, as well as in a foster home that I visited.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I like to roll in the grass, go for car rides, get head scratches, be with my person and I’m always ready for a treat reward.  In my former home, I enjoyed 2 long walks a day wearing a harness, so I hope to get those in my new home too.  I also enjoyed eating my kibble off a flat plate and not a bowl. / I don’t want to be rushed and don’t like having my paws touched or vetting in general.  As mentioned, I’m not too trusting of men and I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, walks, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I had a fatty lipoma removed from my belly and a small mass removed from my left front leg which was likely benign.  I also have a little inguinal fat pad which doesn’t bother me, and I hope you won’t mind.  Sometimes these things come with age.     I am looking for a wonderful person to give me a loving home!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
