Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie. Some lucky someone is going to be able to adopt the most adorable girl ever! Sheila is a young (8 mos-1 year but paperwork from shelter says 2 y/o) Sheltie (mix?). She is sweet, playful, and gentle. She weighs around 16 pounds, is about the height of a Corgi (but not stumpy) but with mostly Sheltie appearance and soft Sheltie coat. She was found as a stray in Texas, sent to a high kill shelter, and then managed to contract parvo before she could be brought up to Colorado for adoption. Now fully recovered, Sheila is ready to find her forever home to be loved and give love. We are looking to place Sheila in a home where she will fit best and blossom. This includes a fenced yard to run around in, another active dog in her family to play with, and active humans who are not away long periods of the day and familiar with energetic adolescent dogs. She loves to be around where her family is and not left on her own for too long. She sleeps in her crate at night, is mostly housebroken but will need positive reinforcement in any new home for continued success. She is new to being out on walks, doing well, and mostly curious about the new things around her. She loves food and is very food motivated so a basic training class is highly recommended to capitalize on this for best behavior development. Sheila is spayed, microchipped, up to date on immunizations, and heart worm negative. She has not been cat tested. She was around kids 8+ in her foster home in TX and considering her friendly temperament, older respectful children will be considered. If you are interested in meeting Sheila, the first step is to fill out our Meet and Greet at .corgisandfriends/formsWe require the application, references, a home visit, and for Sheila to meet everyone in the household prior to adoption. Her adoption fee is $450 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.

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.
