Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Get ready for your heart to melt—just one look at Maggie’s big, soulful eyes and you’ll be smitten! This happy, curious pup is a total social butterfly who hasn’t met a person or dog she didn’t like. Her foster says, “I see her being a wonderful companion in a home with children, other dogs, probably cats... you name it!”. She’s especially obsessed with her foster sister Olive, and her favorite place to sit is right on top of her—and she'd love a forever home with a dog buddy to play and snuggle with (and maybe also sit on)! Maggie is impressively well-behaved for her age, but she’s still learning her puppy manners and would benefit from continued training and structure. She’s polite and respectful when meeting new dogs and has done great with the children she’s met. Like all puppies, Maggie is still working on house training and basic cues, but she’s eager to learn and highly food-motivated—so training should be a breeze with consistency! She’s ready to grow into the amazing companion she’s destined to be, and just needs a family to guide her along the way. If you’re looking for a sweet, social pup with a heart full of love (and a serious knack for staring contests), Maggie might be your perfect match! Age: ~8 months old How I came to PAWS: Owner Surrender Animal ID#: A-179703 Weight: 20 lbs, and growing!

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.
