Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Skye! Skye is a gentle, shy girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality starts to shine. She loves being brushed and is very food motivated—treats are a great way to earn her trust. Skye is currently learning about the world around her. She uses newspaper or potty pads and doesn’t seem to have been outside much before coming into care. She’s still working on leash skills and will benefit from continued training and patience. Skye would thrive in a home with another confident dog to help guide her and show her how to play and enjoy life as a beloved pet. She has seen cats from a distance and is curious, occasionally barking, but has not had direct interaction with them yet. Because she is still learning to trust and adapt, Skye is considered a flight risk and will need a secure setup—such as a fenced yard, a tie-out, or a secure dog run—along with a harness and martingale collar when outside. With the right environment and a little patience, Skye has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. Skye is from a local impound.

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.
