Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (Parson Russell Terrier) (medium coat). Honey is an older gal who enjoys sunshine, gentle breezes, and chill beings to share her time with. She started off very scared when she first arrived, but warmed up to staff and volunteers after some consistent gentle care. She is just waiting to find her new besties to share all the tea with. OTHER PETS: Honey did well meeting another dog, remaining appropriate through the greeting and even enjoying a short walk with her new friend. As with all our dogs, Honey should meet any dog she would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-By-Case] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Honey would do best with someone who has experience with older dogs or who is committed to learning how to best support an older dog. [Some Experience] KIDS: Honey is not very interested in play but is very interested in spending time with humans. She would do best with those that will respect her boundaries and understand that she is not very interested in playing. [10+ / Dog Savvy] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Honey likes watching the world around her, sniffing things, and occasionally going for a stroll to stretch her legs and sniff even more things. Regular strolls and sniffs, and other forms of mental enrichment, will help meet all her needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Honey will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Honey learn important life skills and possibly some new tricks, while gaining confidence and bonding with her guardian. [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will help keep Honey's fur clean and matt-free between groomings; she should be groomed every 6 - 8 weeks. [Professional Grooming]

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.
