Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 250. Hi there, I’m Caramel Macchiato, a 5 1/2 year old German Heeler—German Shepherd mix (best guess). I am an all around good boy. I weigh about 60 pounds. I’d like to tell you a little about myself! Much like a caramel macchiato drink, I am sweet with a little bit of kick. My sweetness shows in the form of how much love I am willing to give you (tons) and my ability to snuggle. I am super soft and silky smooth. The kick, much like a dose of caffeine, comes from my adventurous, energetic personality which can also be a bit impulsive, and spicy at times. Because I am a working-herding dog breed mix, I will do best in a home with a structured routine including a balance of daily exercise and kennel time. Kennel time is very important to me, allowing my body and brain to rest, giving me a “time out” from feeling like I should be performing a job. I love going on hikes with other dogs and ride well in the car. I enjoy meeting the neighbors on our daily leash walks. Looking for squirrels, birds, and cats are a highlight of my walks. We practice sit & wait on my walks so I can watch the world around me and not feel the need to chase. Patience, grasshopper! Sip that delicious drink, don’t guzzle! I get along well with other dogs, and have been hiking and backpacking with my foster family. It would be great if my forever family enjoys spending time outdoors. I do not do well with cats as roommates (I get super-spicy around them), but I have lived with small children and done just fine (I am loving and sweet with them). I really love hanging out in the backyard (again... looking for squirrels) but I don't bark all that much. I have a strong obedience foundation and will look to you for guidance. I walk well on a leash and I also have great recall on off-leash hikes. I know sit, stay, wait, lie down, leave it, kennel, and come. I consistently follow clear commands that are given to me. So what do you think? I’d love to meet you. If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an application for adoption and my foster mom will get in touch with you: bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

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.
