Description
Posted Breed: Newfoundland Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Hi, my name is Sheila and I'm 15 years old. I was adopted when I was 7 years old and returned when I was 13 years old. I was returned because I had severe anxiety when it stormed or when there were loud noises. My family lived in the path of an airport and the planes flying over caused me to have anxiety. I am back living with the foster family that I lived with before I was adopted. My foster mom says I am one of the smartest dogs she ever met. I am friendly and greet visitors at the door. If it's just one person I lay on the floor and just relax. If there are many visitors I greet them and then relax in a different room. I do pace when there are thunderstorms. My foster mom said one time I used the bath tub as a safe place during a storm. I am guarded with men I don't know. I don't live with any other dogs or cats. I have learned to accept other dogs when I go to the groomer. I do not like being in a crate. I do best in a home where I am the only pet. I am house trained. I am available for immediate adoption. I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped. My adoption fee is $100. If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at .bondcohumane. Email the completed profile to the address provided. A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

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.
