HW+ This sweet boy’s story is heartbreaking. Kevin was being surrendered to BARC when we happened to be there picking up Luna. He sat in the back of a pickup truck, confined in a wire crate under the blazing 90° Texas sun. BARC had already reached their daily limit for owner surrenders and it wasn’t even noon yet so they had to turn him away. We couldn’t walk away from him. We told his owners to wait across the street and, as soon as we finished with Luna, we met them there and brought Kevin to safety. Kevin is completely shut down right now. He’s so frightened. Every trip outside is spent scanning for escape routes. It’s clear he’s never known love, a gentle touch, or kindness. He’s lived his whole life just roaming, surviving, and avoiding danger. He’s learning, slowly, that he’s safe now. That human hands can comfort instead of hurt. And, not surprisingly, he tested heartworm positive, a direct result of long-term neglect. We will help Kevin heal, inside and out. We’ll teach him what love feels like, and show him that he never has to face the world alone again.

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.
