Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. Meet Delaney – Grace in Gentle Form Delaney is a 1.5-year-old hound, weighing about 30 lbs — a graceful, gentle girl with the softest soul. Since arriving at the temporary shelter, she hasn’t made a peep — no bays, no howls, not even a whisper — but her eyes and wiggly tail tell you everything you need to know. This sweet girl has clearly been through a lot, yet she meets every moment with quiet hope. She’s underweight and still catching up on good meals, but her face lights up when the food bowl comes out. Delaney is eager for love and attention, though she asks for it so politely — a gentle nudge, a small wag, or a look that says, “I’d love some affection, if you have a moment.” She’s learning that she’s safe now — that kind hands are here to stay, and that it’s okay to take up space. Delaney would thrive in a calm, loving home where patience and tenderness are second nature. In return, she’ll give you the kind of quiet devotion only a hound like her can offer. Help Delaney know she’s home, at last. To apply, go to .peace4paws/adoption-application (use laptop or computer).

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.
