Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (long coat). Meet Lily! We think she looks like a mini Chewbacca, but cuter! This sweet girl was sadly left behind when her owners moved and was found wandering the neighborhood. Thankfully, a kind neighbor took her in and helped her find her way to our rescue. Lily made an easy transition to her foster home, which includes her foster mom, Debbie, her teen son, two dogs, and a cat. She blended right in. She enjoys the company of her pup friends and was curious but respectful with the cat. Lily looks to her humans for comfort and security, so we think she’d do just fine as an only dog, too. Debbie describes Lily as easygoing, affectionate, and a total snuggle bug. Once she feels comfortable, she’s confident in the home, though she can be a little cautious with new visitors at first. She might bark and keep her distance, but soon she’s happy to curl up quietly on the couch next to her foster mom while the guest is there. Lily has a moderate to mellow energy level. She loves her walks and can keep up with her bigger pack members, though she’s just as happy to relax by your side. She’s not shown much interest in toys yet, but will play if you engage her. She’s crate-trained, housetrained, and thrives on a consistent routine. Her foster mom does crate her when she leaves the home for long periods of time, but she's done fine not being crated for shorter periods of time. This pretty girl is as sweet as they come and will make a wonderful companion or family dog. ❤️ Apply today!

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.
