Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Piper came from an abusive family. She was both caged and chained within the cage in a confined area where she could barely turn around. She was fed table scraps if she was fed anything at all and was starved to the point that she had no choice but to consume her own poo to stay alive. What little water she had was muddy and not drinkable. It was only by the Grace of God, we were able to convince the family to turn Piper over to us. Fast forward to today and you are looking at one of the most affectionate, healthy animals who loves everybody. We were unable to keep Piper at our home due to space constraints (along with 5 cats). We were put in contact with an absolutely wonderful, caring couple (God send no doubt) who was aware of the conditions Piper was living under. They agreed to foster her in a great, fenced in area with room to roam as shown in the photos until we could get her fattened up and healthy. Piper is crate trained and weights approximately 30 pounds and will not get any larger. She is a high energy dog and would be great with kids and loves everyone. Piper is a hugger and would make a great indoor family dog. She does not like thunder or if fireworks are being set off. The photos make her look much bigger than she is in person. Piper is leashed trained. We visit Piper and walk her often. Piper is 2 years old, has been spayed and is up to date on vaccines and dewormed. She loves to play keep away with her toys. She seems to be good with other dogs, but we are not certain how she would be with cats since she has never been exposed to them. Piper will need some training with basic commands (sit, stay, she knows what come means, down, leave it, etc.), but she is a smart baby and picks things up quickly with positive reinforcement. The current fosters are having severe health issues that is making it difficult for them to keep and maintain Piper's upkeep and we are not having any luck finding a forever home in the Hickory or surrounding NC area. Because of what she has been through, we vet and verify any potential new owners. Piper is a resilient survivor and deserves the very best! **** Breed: Unknown **** Pet Link: .nokillnetwork/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2188133&flag=1

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.
