Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd. Meet Red Red is coming up on two years with us and we would love nothing more than to find him a place to call home. He came to us with severe malnourishment and heartworms. He has made fantastic progress and is now at a healthy weight and is officially heartworm negative, post treatment! Red is an active boy who loves long walks, romping around the yard, and snuggling up with his favorite people - which is everyone he meets. He enjoys going on adventures and taking time to smell the smells, exercising his nose and mind as well as his body. Red has done amazing when it comes to training. He now knows sit, heel up, lay down, stay (almost), and has much improved on his leash skills. Some of his favorite things are swimming on a hot summer day, begging for belly rubs, car rides and treats! While we know the majority of you already have other fur babies in the home, we’re hoping to find a special adopter for our boy Red who must be the only pet in the household. Red is truly a GREAT dog. He had stolen our hearts and we’re hoping he might steal yours, too. Red is 4-6 years old and weighs 50 lbs. He is crate and potty trained.

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.
