Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Hi! I’m Mason! I’m in a foster home; read below to learn more about me! I’m in a foster home but still looking for my forever home! I’ve settled in nicely and I’m told that I’m easy & pretty low maintenance in my foster home! Some other great news about me: -I’m potty trained! -And crate trained. I don’t stay in a crate now because I can be trusted when I’m left alone! -I don’t chew things that I’m not supposed to. -I’m good in the car & love to go for rides. -I love to explore and sniff – lots of sniffing! How am I with other dogs? - When I was at the shelter, staff said I was friendly and social and that I loved to be with other friendly, social dogs. I was in playgroup with other dogs, but after a while, the shelter stress just got to me and playgroup wasn’t fun for me anymore. - I don’t hang out with other dogs now; the other dog in my foster home isn’t really that friendly so we stay separated. Every so often I try to engage with her but she’s just not a fan. Some other facts about me: - I’m about 55 lbs. - I was found as a stray and no one came to claim me so I stayed at the shelter for many months - this was very scary for me. My foster families say: - I’m pretty quiet, friendly, and affectionate. I love attention, hanging out with my people, & getting some pets from them! - I’m one of the sweetest fosters ever! Every morning, I greet my fosters with a wiggly, happy body and a toy in my mouth – yes, every single day! Some final thoughts: - I’m learning to trust humans; they’re really not so scary. It still takes time for me to get to know you, but once I feel safe & comfy with you, we’re friends for life! -But I still would do better in an adult home or home with older kids. I’m still a scaredy at times; I’m learning to be brave and to walk in my neighborhood without being too scared.

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.
