Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Please contact KU for more information about this pet. Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Sausage is a 10 week old male Hound mix who weighs in at 10 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $450. If you are still interested, please read more below. Sausage is an adorable pup with the most beautiful facial markings that have earned him the nickname of “Popeye”. He is one of a litter of sweet puppies found in a ditch in Tennessee, but now that ARF has come to the rescue, Sausage is ready for his forever home! Sausage weighs 10 pounds and was likely the runt of the litter, but he has no problem keeping up with his much bigger littermate Gravy. Sausage loves romping about in his foster’s fenced yard and would spend hours in the yard sniffing and playing if you let him! He is doing great with his potty-training, as he is super smart and just wants to please. As a young puppy (still has that sweet “puppy breath”!), he is in the teething phase - a sturdy banana box from Aldi is not only a toybox, but also a favorite chew “toy”! Sausage is super friendly and loves to be with his people and other dogs, so a doggy companion would be ideal. A fenced yard will help to keep this pup busy and his hound-dog nose happy! He will make a perfect companion for an active family or single person, and darling Sausage will most certainly deliver a lifetime of loyalty! This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. Please note ARF does not approve applications for any puppy under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this pup fill out an online application today! .arf-il/adopt/application/ Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting. ARF is an all volunteer organization. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved. Thank you for your patience!

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.
