Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Amelia is an 8-month-old female Shepherd mix who must be spayed before adoption. She was found as a stray out in the county and no owner claimed her. Amelia has light brown coat with black muzzle; and she weighs 43 pounds so she will be a large adult dog. She is just adorable! Amelia has an inquiring little mind--she is interested in everything that is going on around her. We believe she would be an eager and good student for obedience school. She is active, playful, and would be good with children. Amelia needs a patient owner who would be willing to spend time with her. This precious girl has a lot to offer any adopter who is willing to show her love and attention. Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120. Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75. All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter. Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices. Unless otherwise indicated under "special needs" our dogs have screened heart worm negative.

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.
