Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Please contact Paul Slebzak (paulsluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. Cuddle Bug Ready for Love DANA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Dana Best Guess for Breed: Scruffy terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of June 2025 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 29.4 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! Dana gets along with the cat in her foster home but we always recommend slow introductions. We haven't seen her with kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are committed to helping them acclimate to a completely new environment. Giving Dana opportunities to interact with other dogs here (doggie playdates, welcoming resident dog in the home, doggie daycare, etc.) will help her so much - they will show her the ropes! About Dana: Dana came to Lucky Dog after being rescued from a hoarding situation in Puerto Rico — pregnant with ELEVEN puppies! Now that her mom duties are done, this gorgeous girl is ready for a forever family to call her own. Loyal, Loving & Low-Maintenance: Dana was nervous at first, but quickly blossomed into a total cuddle bug that's confident exploring the world around her. She loves nothing more than being near her humans and has that ideal energy balance: up for a good walk or hike, but also happy to chill at your feet while you work. (Yes, she will get the zoomies from time to time, and yes, it’s adorable.) Sweet & Well-Mannered: Dana is very food-motivated and eager to please. She already knows “sit” and “lay down,” and her foster says she’s been a model house guest — no accidents in weeks, no inappropriate chewing, and she sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate. Polite with Animal Roommates: Dana coexists peacefully with other dogs, though she prefers the company of people over fellow canines. She’s also been totally respectful of the resident cat — ignoring her entirely. Ready to Be Loved: Dana has been through a lot, but you’d never know it from her affectionate, gentle spirit. She’s the perfect pup for someone looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts hiking buddy and snuggle partner. Interested in meeting Dana?

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.
