Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Vinny! After spending much of puppyhood in an overcrowded shelter, Vinny is enjoying the good life of foster care. We are helping him navigate the new world of stairs, potty training, and taking treats gently. He gets loved up all day by our kids and neighbors, and enjoys the fresh grass most of all. His legs are tiny so we don’t go too far on our walks before he takes a seat. Good thing he’s so light as we pick him up and he wraps his front paws around our neck like a hug for the rest of the way home! He loves people and the affection in his eyes shows he knows where he came from and that his best days are ahead! He arrived at only 6 lbs by 3-4 months old, so he should be a smaller guy full grown. And did we mention his coat and ears feel like velvet? He’s the softest boy around! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
