Description
Posted Breed: Unknown breed. DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Randy is 9yo, weighs 115lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped. Randy is 'friendly and overal low maintenance. He has free roam of his home during the day, is never crated and he is permitted to sleep wherever he wishes at night. He knows 'sit', 'down', and stay' and does well during car rides. He dislikes/fears thunderstorms. Randy's guardian adds: "Randy (or biggie) as we like to call him isi a friendly couch potato. He loves basking in the sun and going for walks. He gives the best hugs (leaning against you for pets) and can be very silly. He is a good listener and follows basic commands. Overall he is a sweetheart and loves being the center of attention." Randy's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Unfortunately, our dog has not adapted well to us having our son. He has never bitten him but has shown some aggression if my toddler annoys him." Lunge/Attack Incident: In 2021 in Newark, DE, Randy lunged at and attacked a neighbor's dogs when they attempted to breach the fence resulting in the 'two dogs and Randy going at it'; the incident punctured Randy's paw, but it healed; animal control was not involved and medical attention was not necessary. Randy's guardian states the following regarding children: Randy lives with a 2yo child; however, his guardian recommends his living with older children only, stating "Never been around children outside of our home. Would not recommend with young children. Preteens/-adolescents should be fine". Randy's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Randy hasn't lived with dogs, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "Reactive at times". Randy's guardian states the following regarding cats: Randy lives with a cat, so his guardian recommends his living with cats, stating "Curious, never aggressive". Randy's guardian describes him as: Couch potato House-Trained Likes men Likes women Randy's guardian describes his ideal future home: "The ideal home would be one where he is the only dog and no young (less than 10yo) children. He is a pretty lazy guy and would do best with a fenced yard (he would love you to pieces if you walked him though)."

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.
