Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat). Meet Louise Louise is expected to stay on the smaller side. Like her presumed littermate Thelma, Louise came from a shelter in Indiana after being found living under a deck and surviving by eating a carcass. She was not socialized with people and has a long road ahead—but she’s making small steps forward. Louise is more skittish than Thelma. She freezes or retreats when approached and needs slow, gentle interactions. She currently allows her foster to pick her up and place her in her crate, and she has begun sniffing curiously from a distance. Louise is still very fearful and will bark at strangers. One bright spot: she loves other dogs, which is helping her learn to trust and observe calm, social behavior. She needs a patient, experienced home where she can continue to blossom. Not ready yet—but worth the wait. Being fostered in Plymouth, Please contact cripecaseygmail if you have any questions about Louise. You can complete an application to adopt Louise or any of the dogs on our website at ebyebcrescue . *** The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.

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.
