Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Hi, I’m Scrapple! I’m a 2-year-old, 65-pound terrier mix with tan and white fur, though I really should be closer to 35 pounds. I’ve been carrying some extra weight from past neglect. I’m also deaf, but don’t worry…I can still tell when it’s treat time! I was recently surrendered after my owner passed away, and I’m currently living in a home with a 9 and 16-year-old, so I’m great with kids. I’ll admit that I’m a little bit afraid of the rain. Seriously, what girl likes to get her hair wet in public? I prefer puddle-free paws! Baths and grooming? Totally fine. Because of my extra weight, I have short-term joint issues, but my vet says once I slim down, I should feel better/pain free. I’m friendly, affectionate, and love company — all I need is some exercise, patience, and lots of belly rubs. If you want a loyal, loving, slightly rain-averse companion, I’m your girl!

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.
