Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Fill out an Adoption Application Sweet little Alister is affectionate, smart, learning basic commands and loves to cuddle. He loves all people, especially females and is great on a leash. He's also been good with most other dogs, although he can be selective about some canine companions with a lot of energy. There have been a few bigger males with a lot of energy he hasn't been fond of but he isn't mean or confrontational, just would rather be with dogs with the same energy. Allister would be a great single dog and does very well in playgroups with smaller dogs and dogs his own size. We are sure he would learn to trust any new dogs eventually, but he is a little shy and scared of some bigger, more energetic canines right now. He does enjoy one on one play or time with one person. He was not socialized during the time he was in a home before being dumped in a shelter. We rescued him on the day he was to be euthanized, and he truly deserves an amazing home after all he has been thru. He has not been around kids or cats at this time, but we believe he would want to play with cats. Al loves toys and sticks and is good at sharing. He has a moderate energy level and doesn't bark. Alister is a year old and under 40 lbs., completely vetted, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and current on preventatives. He also just received six months of heartworm prevention.

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.
