Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT Good with dogs: Yes, with proper intros Good with cats: No Good with kids: Yes (13+) Crate trained: Mostly House Trained: Yes Maxine is a sweet, reserved gal who loves her humans once she feels comfortable. She is doing well being fostered in a multi-dog home and has adapted well to northern life. She is looking for a patient, calmer home who’s excited to help her build her confidence and advocate for her space. Maxine is a medium-energy pup, where she loves to romp in the yard but is content with chilling nearby with a bone or toy. After a proper introduction, she gets along with other pups. Given Maxine’s reserved nature, she’d likely be fine with or without a feline sibling. Because Maxine is shy at first and needs a minute to meet newer humans, she would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy kids over the age of 13 who can respect her boundaries and let her come to them on her own terms. She is food-motivated and eager to please, so training should be a treat! She is crated occasionally during the day and overnight, where she may whine or cry at first but settles quickly. Maxine is housetrained and has no accidents when taken out on a regular schedule and routine. She is working hard on her leash manners and improving quickly. She would do great with an owner who’s excited to continue her training and provide extra guidance as she navigates her new environment. Maxine’s soulful brown eyes and cute dobby ears will have you falling in love with her in no time- is she the next member of your family?

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.
