Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie / Mixed. Location: Rhode Island. Lilly is a 15-year-old cattle dog mix (possibly with a touch of Sheltie) who’s looking for a soft place to land and a loving family to spend her golden years with. At about 25 pounds, she’s perfectly pocket-sized—easy to manage, easy to snuggle, and just the right size for cozy companionship. Lilly found herself in rescue after her owner moved into assisted living. She arrived scared and unsure, having lost the only home she had ever known. But with time, kindness, and a warm bed, she’s opened up—and shows her deep gratefulness for love and comfort every single day. Don’t let her age fool you—Lilly is still active and playful for her years. She loves chasing a ball, enjoys short strolls, and is always up for a bit of adventure. She’s currently on medication to help manage arthritis, but it doesn’t hold her back much. She currently lives peacefully with two children (ages 2 and 6), a German Shepherd, and a cat—and she pays no mind to any of them. She’s sweet and gentle with the kids, and when the dog got a little too wild, she gave one bark to set a boundary. Since then, they’ve been great friends.She walks by the cat like he doesn’t exist. Lilly loves to be doted on. She’ll happily soak up attention, especially if it includes a good butt scratch, a gentle pet, or just curling up by your feet while you relax. She’s looking for a calm, caring home where she can spend her remaining years surrounded by love and stability. Despite all she’s been through, she has so much life left to live and love left to give. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a gentle, grateful senior, Lilly might just be the perfect addition to your life. Lilly is being fostered in Rhode Island.

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.
