Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Shepherd / Mixed. Hi! My name is Minnie (aka Minnie mouse, little one, skinny minnie —whatever you call me, I’ll come running because I love people!) I’m a sweet and spunky 4-month-old mixed breed (possibly Shepherd and something else adorable) and weigh around 12 pounds. I’ve got that perfect combo of typical puppy energy and snuggly naps. I’m still figuring out this whole “toys” thing, but I definitely like the ones that squeak! My foster parents say I have been working hard on learning commands and house training. I am already fully crate trained and sleep quietly during the day and all night in my crate with no accidents. Gold star for me! Food is my favorite thing (after my humans, of course), and since I was a little underweight when I arrived in foster care, my foster family is using mealtimes to help me learn fun new tricks. It’s working—I’ll do just about anything for a treat! Here is the thing - II absolutely adore my foster humans and want to be near them as much as possible. For this reason, I may prefer a home where someone is home for most of the day, but I am open to other setups if the match is right! I get along well with my medium-sized foster dog sister, though I can be a little shy around larger dogs. With proper introductions, I should be fine with other respectful dogs and even cats. Speaking of typical puppy, I am in my “baby shark” phase, as my foster parents call it (whatever that means) so would do best with dog-savvy youngins or children 10 or older. Bonus - I am up to date on all my vaccinations for my age and will be spayed before adoption. Minnie is available for adoption on or after August 24, 2025, through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144, KL# 16182.

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.
