Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Penny! This sweet island girl just arrived from PR. Penny is 4 years old, about 25 lbs, spayed, and fully vetted. She was sadly abandoned at one of our rescue centers but has proven to be resilient and affectionate. Inside Penny is a happy, loving girl who adores belly rubs, playing fetch, and giving kisses. She sleeps comfortably in her crate, eats well, and loves being near her humans. Outside, Penny is learning leash walking and adjusting to new sights and sounds. She is curious about the world around her. Her foster family says she’s doing wonderfully: Potty trained — only one accident so far! She can hold it overnight and goes out every few hours during the day. Knows “sit,” “lay down,” and “ah-ah (no),” and is working on “drop it.” Low-to-medium energy. She enjoys short play sessions, gets the zoomies now and then, but mostly loves lounging and naps. Gentle and sensitive — she’ll thrive with patient adopters who can give her time to feel secure and loved. Penny is currently adjusting to life as an only dog in an apartment, which is a big change from where she came from. She’s learning quickly and showing her sweet, loyal personality more every day. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with unconditional love, Penny is your girl.

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.
