Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Such a CUTE guy ! This little guy with the wispy hairs and twinkle in his eye is just 14 pounds. Great in the house, loves to cuddle, nap on the couch, and he's up for an adventure walk around the neighborhood too. Rocco is special needs because he suffers from and he likes to stay close to you. The vets put him on an inexpensive daily low-dosage of phenobarbital and CBD or gabapentin given twice per day in his food. Rocco is fine with dogs and cats, no issues there, but what he really wants is your lap. If you're inside, outside, anywhere, he will jump into your lap and stay there quietly. He's therapy for you as much as you're therapy for him :-) He's a little Hoover (he'll eat all the crumbs left behind on the floor). He's adorably cute, a great buddy, gets along with everyone and now his medical needs are under control as well :-) So we're looking for a special family/person(s) who will be home with him, preferably a quiet home. Other pets are fine too. Share your life with this CUDDLY ADVENTURE DOG. If you have experience with dogs with seizures/giving medications and have thought through things and are committed to making sure he gets his meds and a lap every day, then please drop is an email :-) He's terrific, he's doing great, and he has a big heart he's ready to share! His adoption fee includes his neutering, vaccinations, deworming, and microchip. He is 8 yrs old. Please email us to see if the pup is still available DesertPawsNMgmail After we've approved your application, there will be a phone/zoom call where we can answer your questions and discuss a time to bring the dog to your home. The meetgreet/adoption must include all household members and pets. We enjoy occasional updates post adoption. We look forward to meeting you and your pets!

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.
