Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Meet Blu Sapphire – A True Gem with a Heart of Gold Blu is a rare find—gentle, affectionate, and full of love. She bonds quickly and shines brightest when she’s close to her people. Once she settles into a routine, she’s calm, well-mannered, and easy to live with, though she still has a playful streak! She knows “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” and will happily nudge your hand or lean in close when she’s ready for love. Blu enjoys exploring the outdoors and is always up for a walk—whether it’s a short stroll or a leisurely adventure through the park, she’s just happy to be by your side. Indoors, she’s respectful of her space, settles easily, and has a few adorable routines: she’ll greet you each morning with a belly rub request, gently rest her big head on your slippers to keep tabs on you, and quietly nudge you when she thinks it’s time for a treat or attention. She’s previously lived with cats and is currently coexisting peacefully with a ferret in her foster home. With slow introductions, we believe she could do well in a variety of home setups—including those with resident pets. Blu may be a little shy when meeting new people, but she does best with slow introductions and quickly looks to her trusted humans for reassurance. She tends to bond closely with her person and has a loyal, affectionate nature that makes her a joy to have around. With her big heart, gentle soul, and a touch of goofiness, Blu Sapphire is a one-of-a-kind gem—ready to bring warmth, devotion, and charm to the lucky home that welcomes her.

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.
