Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie. Meet Smiley – A Tiny Survivor with a Huge Heart! Smiley is one of four Yorkies recently rescued from heartbreaking conditions—confined kept in rabbit hutches by a puppy mill in Mississippi. West Point Clay County Animal Shelter took her an the others in and brought her to us. She was severely matted and had to be shaved down, but even that couldn’t hide her charm. Her adorable name, Smiley, suits her perfectly—just look at that sweet little tongue that’s always peeking out! Though she's underweight due to a moveable jaw which makes eating kibble difficult, Smiley will make fast progress on a diet of soft food—and she’s loving every bite! Don't let her tiny size fool you—Smiley is bold, curious, and full of life. She’s already exploring the yard like a big dog, showing off her fearless personality. She is a Warrior Princess! With proper nutrition and some time, Smiley will not only regain her strength, but her coat will grow back soft and beautiful. What she needs now is a forever home where she’ll be loved and cherished the way she always deserved. If you're looking for a pint-sized companion with a big spirit and an even bigger heart, Smiley might just be your perfect match.

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.
