Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Sterling – A Southern Gentleman with a Splash of Charm Sterling is soaking up summer the best way he knows how—with a quick dip in the pool before the heat kicks in! ☀️ This boy knows how to enjoy the good things in life. More than anything, Sterling lives for companionship. He came into the shelter three months ago with another dog, and it’s clear that being around other pups gives him a sense of comfort and joy. He’s got excellent social skills, knows how to play fair, and really shines when he’s with a buddy. Watching him navigate different dog personalities is like watching a social pro at work—give and take, all in good fun. He’s a great size, has gorgeous markings, and honestly looks like he walked right out of a Hunt Club calendar. **Sterling is heartworm positive, and is being treated for that disease while he is at the shelter. Some dogs don’t get the option of being treated, so we are glad that we are able to do this for Sterling. He would thrive in a foster home willing to give him the time and space to have quiet healing for two months. But, in our eyes, Sterling is perfect. Please consider adopting Sterling.

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.
