Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). At just 1 year old, Benji found himself in one of the scariest places a young dog could be—alone, confused, and terrified in a loud shelter after being surrendered by his owner. Not because he did anything wrong, but because animal control was called for having too many dogs in the home. His previous owner described him as playful, friendly, and sweet, but shelter life quickly took a toll on his spirit. Benji was labeled rescue only due to his extreme fear—he would alligator roll, cower, defecate in fear, show whale eyes, and even snap when approached. Now safe with No Stray Left Behind, Benji is beginning to decompress and learn that gentle hands and kind words mean safety and love. With patience, structure, and trust, we know this shy boy will blossom into the happy, loving companion he was meant to be. Location: Orange County, CA Age: 1 year Breed: Terrier Mix Personality: Fearful at first but sweet and gentle once he feels safe If you’d like to be part of Benji’s journey—from scared shelter pup to beloved family member—please apply to foster or adopt at .nostrayleftbehind .

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.
