Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat). Tigger & Bentley are participating in a fee waived adoption event 10/14 - 10/18 ***Tigger and Bentley are in foster together, and will be adopted together - please contact the shelter to arrange a meet n' greet*** Bentley has spent his whole life with Tigger and they recently lost their human; unfortunately due to their dislike of energetic children they are unable to move in with the family members that could care for them. We are hoping that someone who could provide a QUIET, loving home for both Bently and Tigger. OTHER PETS: Bentley (and Tigger) have bother lived with other dogs and get along with other dogs well. If you are looking to adopt these boys into your family, every dog they would be living with would need to meet them prior to adoption to ensure a good fit. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] KIDS: Bentley does not like loud energetic children, and has snapped at them in the past. To ensure a good fit for everyone, Bentley (and Tigger) should live with adults or older teens. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Bentley enjoys exploring with his nose and taking in the world around him. We haven't found a favorite toy while here at TJO but he does investigate them as he makes his sniffy rounds. Bentley would likely enjoy neighborhood walks and plenty of mental enrichment to meet all his needs. [Good Walking Buddy] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Bentley bond with his new guardian as well as help him learn life skills and some new tricks. He and his brother do ok on leash but do tangle with each other if walked at the same time - loose-leash skills will improve with positive reinforcement! [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Bentley's coat clean and matt-free between grooms, he should be groomed every 6 - 8 weeks. [Professional Grooming]

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.
