Description
Posted Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). It can be Jersday everyday when you're with Jersey! And while fist pumping isn't required upon entry, she would be a great match for someone looking to up the ante with a companion so full of love and sweet energy. This girl's version of GTL is goofy and total lovergirl and despite her age, she gets puppy level excitement about life and the people that she gets to share it with, and is not shy to show it. Jersey is adorably awkward with her body and can often be found in an elbow filled flurry of love when making time and space for some much needed cuddles—and is a wrecking ball of adoration and affection. Watch her go here! Jersey was originally found as a stray by animal control back in 2021 and was adopted shortly after from PAWS. She returned to our care last month due to no longer matching the energy of the other resident dog in the home as they entered their senior years, and who no longer wanted their own version of daily "Wrestlemania". They worked diligently on trying to make things work for the last couple of years, but ultimately knew that her energy would be better suited for a home with a different lifestyle, and are hopeful that she will end up somewhere where she is happy and loved. After making her debut back, Jersey headed into foster care where she has been her always loving and very sweet self. Her primary love language is physical touch, and she will use her head to nudge your hand for more pets, and despite her size still think that she is the ultimate lap dog of your dreams. If there isn't a lap readily available to her, she will back herself up into anyone within reach until there is, and has no shame doing so. When transitioning into her foster home, she initially had to work through some nerves that came up during such a big change. Unfamiliar and loud noises can be overwhelming for her at times, and can cause her occasionally be barky in a city apartment where lots of sounds can be heard, so she would be best suited living in a quieter environment without noisy surroundings that can often be found in busier neighborhoods. Jersey loves to follow her people around, and also sleep in bed with them to have them close to her, and is not modest about taking up some space while she's there. She also does find comfort going in and out of her crate throughout the day, and can often be found hoarding some of her beloved squeaky toys in it to "save for later". She absolutely loves to play and is starting to love tug, but is still a work in progress at learning how to actually hang on. For her solo playtime, Jersey can be found, "bouncing around and rolling on her back with her ears flopping, looking like an adorably deranged bat, and will try to lick your ears," according to her foster parent. She knows "sit," "stay," and "paw," and is fully housebroken. She generally does well at home when being left on her own, and although Jersey has never chewed anything that she isn't supposed to, she has a habit and reputation of being a stuffy destroyer. One of her favorite hobbies is to methodically tear apart any not-durable-enough toys and very carefully de-stuff them with precision seam by seam — so it may be worth investing in some more heavy duty options for her! Jersey is an absolute sweetheart and will make an excellent companion to anyone in need of one. Adopting her means being prepared for so many snuggles and so much love at any time, all of the time!

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
