Description
Dog Breed: Terrier. Meet Jersey—aka Jersey Boy, aka J-Man, aka Jersey-John, aka Meatball von Waddlebutt! This 1–2-year-old, 45-pound potato with legs is an absolute delight! Stocky, goofy, and full of heart, Jersey has bounced back with an amazing temperament despite being abandoned twice—something we’ll never understand because he’s simply the best boy. Jersey is crate trained and does great overnight, during meals, and for longer stretches during the day. He knows basic commands like “sit,” “lay down,” and “paw,” and is currently learning “wait” and better leash manners. While he starts off walks with enthusiasm (and a little pulling), he tends to tire quickly—short, fun outings are perfect for him. He currently lives with a smaller male dog and has done well meeting other pups of all sizes. He’d do fine in a home with children, though toddlers might need supervision since Jersey has a habit of bulldozing through anything in his path. Cats? Probably not his vibe. Jersey is an energy-matcher. He’ll lounge around and entertain himself with toys, but he also loves a good ride with the windows down or a stroll through the park. He’s always smiling, always wagging, and full of joy. From his foster: "Jersey is the happiest foster dog I’ve ever had! He’s smiling and wagging and playing from the moment he wakes up to the moment he rolls off the couch for bed.” Ready to add a little meatball magic to your life? Jersey’s your guy!

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.
