She has the most soulful eyes that seem to tell a story. She loves to play with her toys and fellow fosters and is food motivated, making her easy to train. Penny is low key, quiet and calm but comes alive when she sees a leash! She likes walks! She is doing well with her leash training, and has learned that each meal is not her last. She is a mix breed dog, probably some type of hound mix. She gets along well with other dogs and kids. She has not been around cats. She is about 4 months old and weighs about 15 lbs. Her adult weight will likely be around 30-35 lbs.She is spayed, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. History: She was dumped on the side of a rural road with her litter mates at just about 5 weeks old. They were out there alone for more than a month. She and two of her siblings had evaded all attempts at being captured while others in the litter disappeared . They were scared , hungry and covered in fleas and ticks. We had severe storms in our area during that time, and they sheltered under an old set of steps which barely covered them. They really fought hard to survive out there alone, and they are so happy to be safe, loved, and well fed in their foster home. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.

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.
