Come meet Allie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (06/29) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, (3351 Richmond Highway Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Allie Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 6 years as of April 2025 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 44 lbs Gets Along With: Allie is great with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. She has lived with a child from ages 7-11. She hasn't been seen with cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters. Currently Living at: DC area foster home All about Allie: Allie first came into our care as a young puppy in 2019 and was quickly adopted into a loving home. Her previous family gave her a wonderful life, and their love for her has never wavered. Now, through no fault of anyone, she’s looking for her next forever home. At around six years old, Allie may be past the puppy stage, but don’t let her age fool you—she’s still bursting with energy and zest for life! She’s an active, sporty girl who thrives on daily outings to the dog park, hikes, backyard games of tag, and even joining in on family runs. She’s always ready for her next adventure. Allie would do best in a quieter neighborhood, as loud city noises and busses can stress her out. She can be a little wary of strangers at first, but once she warms up, her loving and friendly personality shines through. She’s also extremely dog-social and absolutely thrives in the company of other dogs. Allie loves attending doggie daycare and meeting new pups at the park. A confident, friendly resident dog in her new home would be a huge plus—not just as a playmate, but also to help build her confidence. Allie is a sweet, affectionate girl with a tender heart. She’s looking for a place where she can feel safe and loved—where she truly belongs. Are you ready to be the next chapter in Allie’s story? Maybe she’s the one your home—and heart—have been waiting for. What My Foster Says About Me: Allie was quite shy and reserved when she first arrived. She’s getting bolder every day and is starting to show her personality a lot more so I’m happy to share more about her as I learn more. So far she seems to LOVE cuddles. She doesn’t seem very interested in toys but she does love bones and yak chews a lot. She has shown no possessive behavior over food or toys or even the bones so far and gets along with my dog great at home. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.

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.
