Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). ***Tabi is currently located at our rescue in Georgia. She is available for adoption in the New Jersey and surrounding areas as well. Questions about Tabi or our adoption policies should be sent to socorescue8gmail; please no phone calls. Applications for her adoption should be submitted at socorescue (no need to register or login.)*** After a local couple found that a frail looking stray female dog had taken up residence at their home, they decided to offer her a place to stay. At first, she was very apprehensive of the couple but had no problem interacting with their other dogs. Over the next few weeks, she slowly began to accept their friendship but remained a bit wary and would simply walk away when they tried to get too close to her. This was ok with the couple as they were very happy to see that she had regained "a lot" of weight in a very short time. One day, the female dog didn't show up for breakfast, nor did she return by dinner that night. Days, weeks passed and no one saw any signs of her and the couple wondered what became of her. Then one morning the couple saw her emerged from the woods with four young puppies following not far behind. Her above average weight gain, the disappearance for a few weeks all made sense now. And with her return, the mom dog began to have physical interaction with the couple. But the biggest surprise came the following morning when a fifth pup, obviously part of the same litter, came hobbling from out of the woods. The couple quickly noticed that this pup, who had open wounds on her back and the lower part of her right rear leg was missing, leaving her with a bloody stub with the bone exposed. When the couple brought us the pups, they offered to give their mom a home. Tabi was very timid when she first arrived, but that was due to being separated from her mom, being in a new environment and all of the other changes that she just went through. She's become more and more accepting of new people, being playful and enjoying her time with people. She'll do best in a home without a lot of commotion and noise, so we don't recommend a home with small children. Tabi is up to date on vaccines, HW preventatives & received a Bordetella vaccination She will come with a microchip too. Tabi will require all of her basic training.

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.
