Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). We are ready to begin the journey of finding MJ's forever home. Please be sure you read the entire post before applying for her just because she has a story or because she looks like a German Shepherd. MJ came to us after being brutally abused by a human. All 4 of her legs were broken, several healed ribs. At the time, she was just a tiny baby. She has had 2 major orthopedic surgeries that she is all healed from. MJ is now 8 months old and is maturing. She is about 40lbs. Yes, she is a wonderful dog. A wonderful dog who needs to be in the right home as the dog is she now is a bit different than the dog she came in as. Even though she is not a pure bred shepherd, she still acts like one and these dogs need jobs. She is active and needs that outlet. MJ is absolutely a love. She is amazing on leash and enjoys cuddling. Overall she is a social butterfly. She does have some quirks and we have to be fully transparent so we get this right when choosing her forever home. She despises cats so a cat free home is a must. She loves the company of other dogs until food or toys are involved. She would need to be fed separately if there are other dogs in the home. Toys when she has some alone time. Young children is a hard no. She doesn't appreciate their company and will snap at them. She has been amazing with the teens in her foster home. She is almost housebroken but does have the occasional accident. She should be on a daily joint supplement like Dasuquin. MJ loves to work on training. Her focus is great and she truly enjoys learning new things. She is getting spayed in 2 weeks and we will accept applications on her now. Visit our website .outcastrescue/adoption-form-1 to apply

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.
