Description
Posted Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Chewy! Chewy was found with his brother Chase in an abandoned property without food or water. The tenants had been evicted a week earlier. Chewy and Chase were taken to Long Beach Animal Care Services, and we scooped them up to become Frosted Faces on November 29th. Chewy is 14 years old and weighs 8.5 lbs. Despite all they've been through, they are the sweetest boys! Chewy and Chase are currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so they can receive extra TLC in a home while we learn more about them. Their Fling Mom reports: "It’s amazing how resilient dogs can be. Chewy and Chase were left behind after their owners moved out and found a week later in deplorable condition. Chewy had eye and ear problems which have been resolved. Chase was more emaciated than Chewy with ribs and spine clearly showing. I’ve been giving Chase three meals a day and increased his food by 50%. Chewy and Chase are a really easy, sweet pair. They're very mellow and get along just fine with my pack of six dogs. These two will do well in just about any home as noises, children, other dogs don’t bother them at all. They’re easy to care for, use puppy pads indoors, sleep through the night, and have no separation anxiety. Chase is generally the more social of the two, but I had a break through with Chewy last night. I was sitting on the couch with Chase, and Chewy was watching from another room. I called to him, and he came to me, and let me hold him for about 10 minutes before he wanted down. That's the first time he willingly came to me! After that, he settled in a dog bed in the living room where he was close to us. Chase doesn't use his back legs from grade 4/4 luxating patellas but still gets around (see video)! He doesn't let Chewy out of his sight for too long. Chase loves his brother! These boys have come so far, and now they just need a forever home!"

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.
