Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? .muttloverescue/foster.html ***************** Frank's temporary foster parents say that he is the most loving and sweet hound, kind and willing to please. He is fearful of many things but has overcome a lot in his 3 months in foster. He was initially terrified by a TV screen, but within a week, snuggled on the couch to watch the news or popcorn and a movie. He didn't know what a dog bed was, but after coaxing, realized that it was a pretty nice place! He was at first shy, but quickly warmed and so gentle to 3 young grandsons, trying to lie in their laps. He is not food aggressive and waits patiently for his breakfast and dinner and does not counter-surf. Very much enjoys car rides. He is, however, still fearful of many things outside, like heavy winds, loud trucks or other unexpected noises or situations. Otherwise, he has learned to walk nicely on a leash, absent any startling surprises. Frank needs a calm, steady hand to help him conquer his fears. He has come so far and will be a great dog to the right family. His favorite pastime is napping on the couch, and then napping some more. Frank would do well in a home with another dog to give him confidence. **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at .muttloverescue/application.html OR write to adoptmuttloverescue.

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.
