Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). ATHENA & APOLLO - 8 years old, 50 pounds, house trained, crate trained, friendly but nervous at first After being in the same home for over 8 years, Athena and Apollo were surrendered when their owner no longer had time for them. Both boast black and white fur, Apollo has just the start of grey on his muzzle. Athena has lighter fur with darker spots located here and there. Her white line of fur between her eyes thinner than his. They both are house trained and crate trained and we're told spent most of their time in these crates. They didn't go for walks but were let outside in the yard. Athena & Apollo are at the age where they don't need as much attention as any younger pup might but they still enjoy being outside, going for walks and spending more time free roaming in a house with their family versus being stuck in a crate. They are both scared of loud noises. Apollo might be the one to steal items from countertops or trash cans. Be ready! Although both were happily standing with wagging tails at the kennel door excited to meet you and go out, they also both were just a bit nervous with too miuch petting from us strangers when outside. Just go slow! Neither are players with toys. Allowing these two older pups to settle in at their own pace with reassurance you will be there for them will create a safe and happy place. We are open every day 12-5 if you'd like to foster, adopt or volunteer.

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.
