Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Gus is a handsome hound mix who is looking for a new home. Gus is with our rescue partner in North Carolina. We do offer a foster-to-adopt trial for approved adopters. Gus is described as a really nice boy. He is a typical hound who likes to sniff but he also likes attention and affection. Gus has done well meeting other dogs. Gus is fixed, up to date on vaccines. He has tested positive for heartworm. We need a foster to save his life! Treatment for heartworm includes 30 days of oral antibiotics and 2 visits to our vet in Barnegat, NJ followed by 30 days of restricted activity. If we are able to save him, his adoption fee will be $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Apply to foster or adopt wagoninn.rescuegroups

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.
