Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). HEMMY - 1-5 years old, 45 pounds, nervous at first As a stray, Hemmy has been nervous in the kennel. He will, however, warm up to you. It just might take a little time. Out in the yard, he did his own thing, sniffed here and there, checked out the fence, investigated everything he found. He also looked like he was always looking for a way out. He ran to the gate and started barking after a short time. You have to give some of these boys and girls a break when it comes to these behaviors. They can be scared or hesitant about everything going on around them. I gave him some space and allowed him to walk around on his own. When it was time to go, I was able to put him back in his kennel without issue. Hemmy is a super pretty (sorry, I know boys don't like to be called 'pretty' LOL) coloring with his orange and brown brindle fur. The white around his neck and on his face is bright and distinct. His eyes are apprehensive. Time, patience, space. All will help Hemmy settle in a new home with a new family and a new routine. Speaking of routine, we don't know how house trained he is or isn't so understanding where he's coming from will certainly help a lot. We were able to test Hemmy with other specially selected dogs in our shelter playgroup. He seemed very dog social and enjoyed the running and chasing with others. He did not engage in rough play. Bring any resident dog in for a meet and greet and let’s see if they can get along. *Please be ready, willing and able to supervise. Hemmy is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask.

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.
