Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Shelby! Shelby is a beautiful, happy hound mix with golden brown eyes, floppy ears, and a soft beige coat. She loves her people, walks, food, treats, and playing with her dog friends. Smart and eager to please, Shelby enjoys training, learning new tricks, and using puzzle toys for meals and snacks. She gets along well with other dogs and currently loves playing with her Shar Pei foster brothers, though she can be a little protective of her food and toys. Cats are probably not a good match—she has a strong prey drive and wants to chase them on walks! Shelby is wonderful with kids and did great in her previous home with a 5-year-old who loved dressing her up and cuddling. Shelby is mostly housetrained and learning to potty on walks. She already knows several commands including sit, down, stay, off, leave it, and twirl. She barks a little at the mail carrier or passing dogs but is otherwise a medium-low vocal dog. This affectionate, goofy girl loves belly rubs, cuddles, and being close to her people—ideally snuggled up next to you on the couch or in bed. She’s energetic and would thrive with daily walks, playtime, or even agility training. Shelby enjoys car rides (especially with her head out the window!) and has low grooming needs, though nail trims aren’t her favorite. Shelby truly wants to love and be loved. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and active companion, she’s ready to be your best friend! Shelby is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

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.
