Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Gentle Soul Girl Meet Lila! This sweet and gentle girl is new to SVPP and just beginning her journey of discovering what it means to be a beloved pet—and we’re already smitten! Lila may be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for her affectionate personality to shine through. Once she feels safe, she quickly warms up to new people and enjoys their company. She’s already made friends with another young dog in her foster home and shows respectful deference to the semi-feral resident cat—what a polite pup! Having spent her first year living outdoors, life in a home is full of “firsts” for Lila. She’s picking up house training beautifully and is bravely learning all about new things like TVs, vacuums, and sprinklers. Every day brings a new adventure, and Lila is meeting it all with curiosity and courage. She’s a dream on leash—calm and composed, though she can’t help but get a little excited when she spots birds or squirrels. Car rides? No problem! Lila enjoys tagging along with her foster mom and taking in the sights. After a bit of backyard squirrel patrol, she’s all about snuggling up indoors for some well-earned cuddles. Lila is still recovering from her heat cycle and will be spayed soon. In the meantime, she’s settling beautifully into her foster home, and we’re loving watching her blossom into the cherished companion she was always meant to be. Age: ~1 year House Trained: In progress and doing great! Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good in the Car: Yes Leash Manners: Great, non-reactive (except to squirrels and birds!) Lila is ready to find her forever family—could that be you?

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.
