Meet Kaia: Your Future Furry Companion! Are you ready to welcome a loving and intelligent dog into your home? Look no further than Kaia, a stunning 2-year-old mixed breed who is eager to find her forever family! About Kaia: Age: 2 years Breed: Mixed breed Training: Kaia is extremely smart and has so many skills, making her a brilliant companion. She is both house and crate trained, ensuring a smooth transition into your home. Social needs: Kaia could live with another playful dog. However, she can also be perfectly content as the only pet, especially if she has regular play dates with her furry friends. In her previous home, she was a regular at Mischief Managed daycare, where she enjoyed socializing and playing with other dogs. She is not the type of dog that would enjoy going everywhere, skip the breweries for this girl! Activity Level: This energetic girl is looking for an adopter who enjoys engaging with their dog! Kaia would be thrilled to join you on hikes in quiet areas or engage in regular playtime in a secure yard. We think she would be great at dog sports such as agility or trick training. While she is great with other dogs, she can get a bit overly excited when she sees them on a leash, so a fenced-in yard would be ideal for her. Home Environment: Kaia would do best in an adult-only home and one without cats. She’s ready to bond with a loving family that can provide her with the attention and activity she craves. She can be cautious with new people coming into the home and does well with slow introductions. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving companion, Kaia is the perfect match for you! Don’t miss the chance to bring this wonderful girl into your life. Contact us today to learn more about adopting Kaia! ❤️ Back story: Kaia was adopted as a 6-month-old puppy and her adopters were relocated out of the country for work. They have set her up with an amazing foundation for her next home An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

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.
