Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Introducing Sam, an 8 week old, 6.5 lb , thought to be shepherd mix who is looking for his forever family. Sam and his siblings had a bit of a rough start in life, when they were found abandoned in a box near some railraod tracks in West Virginia. After being rescued, he has spent some time learning how to play and trust humans and is ready to be the perfect addition to your family! Sam is being raised with cats, other dogs and children, and he loves everyone. He can be a bit exuberant with cats, so future adopters should be aware that he needs to learn boundaries. As a young puppy he can be trained to be gentle with other animals and young children, with an owner who can help show him the ropes. At 8 weeks old he still has a lot to learn about the world and about how to be your perfect companion. He's just being introduced to crate training and housebreaking. Sam is nearly completely pee pad trained, and should transition easily to going potty outside. He loves wrestling with his siblings and then can be found taking a nap on a cozy dog bed. Sam is talkative, and will bark at his siblings to encourage them to play. He is a confident puppy who is eager to explore, climb, and try new things. It is believed that Sam is going to be a medium sized dog when he grows up. He will be neutered and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations at the time of his adoption. Sam and his siblings will be available for adoption after October 20, 2025 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale PA 15144 KL#16182.

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.
