Description
Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Terrier / Mixed. Hi! I’m Ferocious, but don't let my name fool you. I'm anything but fierce! I’m 7 years old and weigh about 40 lbs. I’m a mixed breed of some sort. I’m probably at least part cattle dog. My name does not describe me at all. Some words that DO describe me are gentle, loyal, loving, and obedient. I get along with people, dogs, and even cats. I have a special affinity for children. The kids in my foster home love to pet me and tell me I’m a good boy. I’m submissive with other dogs and love being part of a pack. I consider kitties part of my pack too. I don’t mess with them at all and let them sleep next to me or rub on me whenever they want. I’m good on a leash and a very quick learner. I didn’t really understand what it was like to live inside with a loving family, but I’m quickly adapting and always try to listen. I will just require a bit of patience while I continue to perfect my house training and learn new commands. Even though I love every dog, cat, and human in my foster home, I get a little stressed out when I have to keep track of everyone. I feel responsible for all of my friends. I would probably do best in a quieter home where I feel I can relax. I’m learning to like my crate more, but I would prefer a home where someone can be home with me more often than not. Once you meet me, you will see how ironic my name is. I would love to give you cuddles, hugs, and gentle kisses. I’m neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. I will be available for adoption on or after 6/15/25 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144, KL 16182

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.
