Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie (medium coat). To make the adoption process faster and easier, please visit .almosthomeohio and complete our online application! Some dogs come to us with mysterious pasts, but their current behaviors give us a glimpse. For Rowan, those clues suggest his earlier days might not have been easy. The phrase used most often for him is “afraid but not aggressive.” Rowan is wary of kids, other dogs and strangers, but he never shows aggression—he simply prefers to retreat to a safe space. His foster mom fell in love with him when he began to trust her, and it melted her heart. Rowan is still working on a few things, including pottying on anything but asphalt. Outside he is frantic, and right now he prefers to do his business on asphalt rather than grass, and leash walks aren’t his favorite yet. His foster mom takes him out for frequent walks and he’s beginning to learn. She is sure this will improve over time. Grass is still a mystery to him, but we know one day he’ll discover the simple joy of romping on it. At home, Rowan has an open crate he uses when he wants quiet time, though he’s quickly learning that soft beds are even better! Once he got full access to the upstairs and those cozy spots, he made himself right at home. At night he now sleeps in bed, snuggled up close—he’s a little spooner too. Rowan is catching on to the good life at lightning speed. Recently, Rowan discovered the magic of chicken treats and the fun of toys. The first time he played, he got so happy he broke into joyful zoomies! Rowan is becoming the dog he was meant to be in these moments—when he enjoys sleeping in a bed cuddled next to his human, playing with his own toy, or getting a treat because he walked nicely on the leash—or just because he’s such a sweet boy. We can’t wait to see what consistent love and structure will do for Rowan, and what Rowan’s love and trust will do for his family.

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.
