Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd. Maggie – approximately November 2024 Shepherd Mix 45# - will be 50-60# when full grown She is learning to walk on leash. She is crate trained, she does not make a mess in her crate. Completely pottied trained. She is good with kids. She loves my 10 yr old granddaughter. She plays very well with all dogs. I do not know about cats. She is an energetic pup but settles down once inside. She would do fine in a house or apt. I think a house with a fenced yard would be best. She loves to have space to run & play. I rescued Maggie from a rural area. She showed up at someone’s house and was hiding behind their storage shed. She was very thin and scared. She quickly warmed up to me & let me pick her up and carry her to my car. She has been with me for 6 weeks and has settled in wonderfully. I have a number of other foster dogs and she gets along great with all of them. She has put on weight and is a very happy girl. Maggie would love to be part of an active family. She is very smart and is highly trainable. She is very food motivated. She learns quickly and wants to please. She will make a loyal companion.

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.
