Description
Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Barkley spent some time on the streets of Texas, and while he’s still learning to trust humans, he’s shown himself to be a very sweet, gentle dog. He’s flighty by nature and may run and hide when he feels unsure, but he doesn’t lash out. He just needs a slower-paced and calm home with a family focused on building his confidence at his own speed. Once he warms up, he leans into affection and clearly wants to connect—he’s just still figuring out how to ask for it. Barkley is still working on potty training and learning how to walk on a leash. He should be treated as a flight risk until that trust is firmly in place and while fenced in yard would be ideal, he should at the minimum ALWAYS be on a leash for safety. A calm, friendly dog would help show him the ropes and teach him that he will be safe and loved with his forever family so is required in his adoptive home. He came into his foster home surprisingly healthy and has an adorable little mohawk that adds just the right amount of punk rock. Barkley isn’t looking for anything flashy—just a family that is steady, patient, and ready to show him what a good life feels like. Barkley is from Texas.

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.
