Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Some of you guys may remember these boys coming to us just a few weeks ago! They had porcupine quills that had to be removed. They are now doing great. It is difficult to know if all quills have been removed-so far there has been no issues but monitoring them closely for any issues with remaining quills is important. Quill is the brown/red one. Bill is the white one. They are bonded brothers so we want to keep them together. They are somewhere from 11 months- a year old we were informed. They look to be hound mixes. They were originally found as strays, the good samaritan that found them tried to take care of them for a few months when the shelters were too full, but when they needed emergency care, he knew it was time to find somewhere that could take them both. These brothers are SO SWEET. They are obsessed with people. They also do great with kids. We were told they came from a home with other dogs and they did great with them, but proper introductions with other dogs in the homes are needed. They have not yet been cat tested, but they seem to have a prey drive. Their fecal test did return positive for hookworms. They are currently undergoing treatment. It is too early to recheck a fecal test at this time, so we recommend cleaning up the stool from the yard right away and throwing it away and washing your hands well. Hookworms can be transmitted to other pets and to humans through ingestion (eating) the infected feces. They both are neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, heartworm and tick disease tested and negative for all. They went for a day stay with one of our foster homes and they report they are doing great on potty training! They say they are eager to please and very trainable, great dogs all around! An approved adoption application is required. The $500 (total fee for both together) adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; vaccinations; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention . Our adoption application may be found by going to: .headinhomerescue; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption. Please note: while we welcome out of state applications, we do not ship our animals and require adopters to come to Holland to finalize any adoption.

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.
