Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. IN VERMONT Meet Levi! youtu.be/u4As3E0Q-xE Levi is 5 years old, male (approx. DOB tbd), 48 lbs., vetted, is or will be neutered and micro-chipped. Levi's story is sad, we believe he was not treated well for quite sometime, being tied to a fence along with another dog at the home. No one would claim him and when animal control came to get him, he was defensive. Any dog can feel threatened when cornered and scared with no option to run or get away. A catch pole was used by AC and when arriving at the shelter. He has been very scared and seemingly has had no exercise or enrichment for quite some time to create his stress. He does great with other dogs as you can see from the videos (forgets about his fears) and will likely need another dog/dogs in the home to help him observe and learn to trust. This super sweetie is in need of someone to show him that love is patient. He only needs time to warm up but because he is so scared in the shelter most people will not give him the chance. He is the most loyal, gentle, and affectionate dog to the people who are willing to give him the chance to shine. Stay tuned for more information as Levi is a new rescue! If you are interested in adopting Levi please fill out an Application at .Passion-4-Paws (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) - thanks! Please note Fosters have 1st option of Adoption. Check out his Facebook page (please "Like" us while you are there)! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

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.
