Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Hello, I'm Gus! I'm a sweet, mellow fellow with a playful streak that keeps me young. My curious nature means I love exploring new places and sniffing out hidden treasures. I'm brave, not easily spooked, and I'm smart, too. I've mastered all the basic commands and a few fun tricks. My loyalty runs deep; once I've bonded with someone, it's for life. I'm friendly to everyone I meet, and always ready to make a new friend. So why should you adopt me? Because I promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and endless loyalty. I'm just waiting for my forever home to share all the love I have to give. A note from his foster mom: He does well with other dogs, too. Quiet (except at dinner time), loves to give cuddles, will actually come when called, a good listener, low to moderate energy, ready to chill with a movie or take a hike when you are, walks well on a leash, doesn't eat much and is a perfect compact size. *Will steal your lunch (and heart) if left unattended and have no regrets whatsoever. Gus had some elevated kidney values due to tick-borne disease. He is doing much better now and is on maintenance prescription kidney diet. My adoption fee is sponsored! Gus is neutered, and vaccinated for dhlpp, bordetella, and rabies. He has a 4DX heartworm test and microchip with lifetime registration. Gus is on monthly parasite prevenatives. Also included in the adoption are 30 days of Pet First Pet Insurance, and Petco's Free Welcome to the Family Program. This program supports All New Pet Parents and offers Free resources, more than $650 in savings, and 24/7 support.

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.
