Description
Dog Breed: Terrier. From the moment she was rescued from a hoarding case with other pups, it was clear that something was different about Ziva. Just 1 year old and 8.5 lbs, she was unsteady on her feet, walked in tight circles, and didn’t respond to movement on one side of her face. After a neurology consult at amcny, Ziva was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition where excess fluid builds up in the brain, causing pressure and impacting development. She’s also suspected to have MUE (meningoencephalitis of unknown origin), a neurological condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the brain. These conditions affect her coordination, balance, and vision. She may always be a little wobbly and partially blind, but she’s adapting incredibly well. Ziva has started steroid treatment to manage brain inflammation. Her dose will be slowly tapered over the coming months, and she may remain on a low dose for life. Due to the risk of relapse, she should not receive vaccines going forward. She is an amazing little pup in her foster home! Ziva is sweet, curious, and loves to explore, enjoys cuddling, but is just as content napping on her own. She’s done well with other dogs, cats, kids, new people, and even loud noises. She’s confident, knows what she wants, and her playful side is beginning to come out. Ziva will also be working with our trusted trainer magnetic_dog_training on some separation anxiety. We’re looking for a calm, committed home that’s ready to support a dog with special medical needs, and we know the right match is out there for her (rescuecity.nyc/adopt).

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.
