Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Lassie, a sweet but timid 2-year-old girl who's been waiting patiently for her chance at a new beginning. This rabies-vaccinated beauty arrived at our shelter with a litter of pups and a heart full of fear. Lassie is one of our longest-term residents, and it's clear she's had limited positive human interaction in her past. While she's made strides in learning to walk on a leash, she remains very scared and is put off by touch. Lassie needs a calm, understanding environment where she can decompress and learn to trust at her own pace. Could you be the one to offer Lassie the gentle patience and love she needs to blossom?

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.
