Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Returned due to medical expenses. Previous owner stated he will protect food and toys from other dog in the home. Will snap at other dog if he gets near his stuff or has an item he wants. Is very calm and easy going with autistic 3yr old son in the home. SCAR - 1-5 years old, 60 pounds, nervous CHECK OUT MY EYEBROWS! Scar is a young boy, found stray and now looking for a new home. He is handsome. He is regal. He is serious with his expression, his eyebrows help here. lol I take this last description in ease as well as he is in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. He did let me easily slip my lead over his head and lead him out. He didn't bother with the other dogs we passed in the kennel but instead focused on what was ahead. Outside he ventured away from me, didn't seem to want treats and just curiously sniffed all around. He will settle in, we know. Scar has some scars, aka missing fur spots, all over his body almost making him look spotted. X-rays have shown some knee issues and neuropathy (damage to nerves that can cause pain, muscle weakness and difficulty with balance) so this guy would definitely need follow-up care to be sure he's pain-free and comfortable.

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.
