Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: KY Sup, I’m Gary. Oh, you don’t know me? Don’t worry, you will! Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way: I’m like 6ish months old, 30 pounds, getting neutered soon, good on my vaccinations and preventatives, most likely a cattle dog mix, definitely the life of the party, absolutely the guy for you. Okay, also, here’s the thing: I was hit by a car a little while ago and while that was definitely not fun, I had no major injuries so after being treated like the rockstar that I am, the doctor said I’m all good now and clear to come home with you. I may take handsome pictures but people who know me say to others, “you’ve got to meet him in person to get the full Gary Experience™. My foster mom says I’m a “goofy goober” who has “googly eyes” but I think I’m way more than that. I mean, have you SEEN my cool spots? I’ve got long legs that were just made for jumping high, I’ve got really shiny teeth that were made for chompin’ and have these big ears that I will absolutely 100% maybe not always listen to you with. When it comes down to it, I try my best to be a good boy but I’m still learning what all that means. I know how to sit, I walk pretty well on a leash (if I do say so myself), I’m pretty much the best at sleeping in my crate at night, and I love to announce my presence both loudly and often so everyone knows I have arrived. I have literally never met a stranger and when I meet people I like to stand on my hind legs and do this little dance. You’ve gotta see it! I love other dogs and have quite a few friends. When I’m not too sure about stuff I like to follow the other dogs in my foster home around and take their advice on what is scary and what isn’t. I think I like playing with the younger dogs in my foster home more, those old ones are too boring for me. There’s a cat here too but that thing is weird and I’m not really sure what to do with it. My foster mom says I can be a little reactive when I’m on leash or behind a barrier. I like to think I’m just telling those other dogs how it is but apparently that’s rude so I’ve been working on that. My foster mom gives me treats when I see other dogs and I don’t yell at them so I think I’m getting the hang of it pretty well. Anyway, if you want to meet me (and I don’t see why you wouldn’t?) please fill out an adoption application at .acdra/adoption-application If you have any questions, I’m busy doing my thing so you can email my foster mom at khickey502gmail and she can probably help you out.

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.
