Mutt Madd-ness

DJ is a one year old male border collie that we rescued from a shelter in Milledgeville. He has been with his foster family since early March. During that time he has been fully vetted, house trained and provided some family opportunity time. DJ had been adopted as a baby by an elderly women who had to relinquish due to her inability to care for him. He had been given very little socialization and play time. The breed is a smart, working breed and can show herding behaviors that may include vocalization and nipping. DJ may not be best suited for a family that has really young children. DJ is a handsome, playful and loving dog. He will need a family that is active and can provide the pack structure that he needs. From DJ's Foster - Hannafey Family: Over the past few months, he’s settled in nicely with our crazy family. We took him on a weekend trip to south GA and he did fine in the car, in the cabin, and at an outdoor restaurant with other dogs and lots of people. He has gotten used to our routines, and is less resistant when he has to go in the crate when we leave the house. And, he and our other dog have become inseparable. He’s a master at slipping out of his collars, even a harness-style. .......................... From the Behaviorist/Trainer: During the day that DJ came in for an evaluation we were able to spend quite a bit of time with him to get a better idea of what makes him tick, as well as what motivates his negative behaviors. During the evaluation DJ presented himself as a very friendly dog. He was out going with multiple staff members & seemed to have no issues with being touched any place on his body. Even when we implemented control he seemed to take to it well. Social pressure did not seem to be an issue for him during this evaluation either. He exhibited no reactivity or true aggression towards dogs while in our care. Even when other dogs were reactive to him he was willing to ignore. DJ did show a fairly decent food drive (treat motivated). Which can be used in a training program. He was also very motivated by love and affection from the handlers. I believe with the proper training and handling DJ will be able to exist in his home with little to no issues. Interested in meeting this beauty, please contact Mutt Madd-ness.

Sadly Zep's owner has found himself in a tough place and is not in a position to keep his beloved pet. Not knowing how long this may be, he felt it best to find a new, loving family for his dog. Zep is from our Cocktail Litter and was originally Vesper. Zep will be 3 on May 10th and as you can see he is a mix of a lot of breed's including Staffordshire. According to dad he is vocal, playful, loves walks, car rides, chewing his bone, and playing at the dog park. He would not be suited to a family with young children, he runs from them. Zep is a sweet boy who is very loyal. If you love the love-a-bulls Zep is a gorgeous dog and in need of a foster or adopter. If you are interested in meeting this handsome guy just let us know! In the meantime - the more that see him the better his chances of finding a loving home, please share Zep.

Zeus was a stray that was rescued by a Good Samaritan. He is approximately two years old and is a sweetheart! Zeus is a beautiful, well-adjusted and loving guy! He lives with us at Haven, but sees himself running, lounging and enjoying family life with one of you. He never snores too loud and he enjoys kids, adults and dogs. He says, I may look big and strong, but I really am a big lug. Zeus really needs some loving - if you would like to meet him —just ask.

Say welcome back to Dory, Tigger from our Pooh litter. Dory is a 10 month old beautiful, intelligent German Shepherd mix. She is happy, energetic, athletic, playful, affectionate and well trained. She is potty trained, crate trained, and loves to fetch. Dory is back because of an older dog and a young child. She just wanted to play and was a little to much for both. Dory is still very young and she loves to chew on her silly stuffed toys. She would enjoy another playful dog and/or a family that enjoys hiking, walking and playtime inside or out! Dory is puppy young and is still in need of direction and teaching her what she can and shouldn't do. If you have little children she may be a bit overwhelming for them when they get hyped up - after all she just wants to play too. If someone gets knocked over, she told us she didn't mean to. If you would love to meet this gorgeous girl, please contact Mutt Madd-ness.

Karnilla is a beauty. She is young (1.5 years), boxer playful and very affectionate. She has a lot of energy and would do best with an active owner. Perfect for running, hiking, long walks and just playing around. Karnilla does pretty well with a couple of dogs - she can become overwhelmed in large groups, We would definitely encourage a one-on-one introduction to any family dogs. As you can see from the video - she loves to play (she's the smaller - with yellow collar). https://www.facebook.com/HavenDog/videos/260375658232904/ This is her baby photo - we will get some additional photos posted in the next few days. If you would like to meet her - she boards at Haven the Dog Spot - Lower Roswell Road, Marietta 30068. You can reach out at anytime to arrange a private meet & greet.

Say Hi Reese! A Mutt Madd-ness dog that needs to be re-homed. Why? Reese is being re-homed because she lives in a multi-family household with an elder dog that she has gotten into a tiff with on 2 occasions over the past five years. She has been around many people and kids and has always been gentle. Of course in an excited and playful state - she could unintentionally knock a small child over when jumping up. Reese is smaller dog - a Rottweiler mix and is almost 5 years old. According to the family she is an incredibly sweet girl who likes a lot of attention and will give you loads of love. Reese enjoys playing in the yard, but also enjoys laying close to whomever is in the house. She knows commands such as sit, stay, go to your place, eat and potties in the yard in a designated area. She is not a dog that barks constantly only when she believes it necessary.

Athena was recently adopted from a shelter by a college student who then realized the dog could not live in the dorm, so now what --- of course the dog was brought home to mom who already had two dogs. Athena is a mixed breed "mutt" and is approximately 1-1.5 years old. She has been fully vetted including spay and micro-chip. Mom has been working with her on basic commands, crate and potty training and although she apparently did not have any real support she is responding well. She is small but strong - so will need a 2-legged buddy that can control a leash. She acts very young (probably because she is) so is playful and has done well with the younger dog in the family. The elder dog (12) has not enjoyed Athena's form of play. She is a cuddler and loves being around her human peeps. She sleeps in her crate at night. If you would like to meet this young lady - please contact Mutt Madd-ness

We have a young beauty needing a home - say hello to Bella. Bella, who was in a Georgia shelter (stray), was recently adopted by an older lady looking for a companion dog. She has had Bella for a couple of months and now realizes her energy level is too much — Bella jumps up on her and has knocked her down a couple of times. She does not want to take her back to the shelter, but is running out of options. Bella is a gorgeous 2-3 year old Coonhound. She is fully vetted - vaccines, heartworm preventative, flea & Tick preventative and spayed. Bella is playful and loves humans - including children. They are uncertain how she is with other dogs, but can be tested if interested. Coonhounds make excellent family pets. Generally not great with cats (unless raised with them) because they are prey driven. She is fully house and crate trained. She needs a family that is active because she loves to run and play. If you are interested in meeting Bella, please contact Irene at Renoulabrooks@gmail.com.

Tricksy is one of our April Fool's Litter. Her mom and siblings came to us right after birth. She is a one year old - adorable, playful and loving little girl. Tricksy is house and crate trained. Tricksy is being returned because she jumped up on the 1 year old child and knocked him over. If you would like to foster, adopt or meet this wonderful pup, please contact Mutt Madd-ness.

HELLO from Jack-O! Did you forget about me?? I am a super sweet, snuggly, inquisitive and smart young 1yr old pup looking for my forever home! Do you find that your lap gets cold during long movies? You have crumbs all over your kitchen floor that never get picked up? Maybe you get lonely in your fenced in yard and need something to entertain you? I don't require much, I'm pretty low maintenance... Just some toys for you to toss, DEFINITELY need my horn and maybe a YAK bar for chewing, kiddie pool would be nice in the summer for lounging, but the occasional playful hose-spray to chew water is good for me too! I would do best in a house with adults or older kids, only because I don't always know my strength and wouldn't want to knock anyone over...I don't love sharing attention with other animals, so I'm sorry if that's a deal breaker - But I PROMISE I have MORE THAN ENOUGH LOVE for you! I've spent the majority of the past year learning to be a super good boy in training, I know tricks! Last March I did a 6 week training, and I'm currently at Sleep-Away Camp with my buddy Khalvin at Tenasity Dog Training. I've learned sit, stay, come, pillow, kennel, and mastered walking on a loose leash! Mutt Madd-ness thinks I'm something really special and wanted to help make me A REALLY FUN BOY for my forever family! It sure would be nice to have a family of my own to lounge around with, not be so lonely and who would love me for me (which is A LOT of wet kisses)! If you know anyone that you think might fit this bill, please have them call my foster momma - I have a hard time answering the phone with my big, fat paws ?? I can't wait to meet you! I'm waiting by the phone XOXO JACK-O ?????? Contact us today! ***See a video of Jack-O at training after just a few days ---> https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1381245301989416&id=611580352289252
