Description
Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Mixed (long coat). Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenbergluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. scruffy sweetie seeking fresh start and love! LAYKA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Layka Best Guess for Breed: Schnauzer mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of November 2025 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 37 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Layka would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. See this sweetie and her sisters in this video! - .youtube/shorts/_KbHsEMh7DI Layka is Looking For: Hi! The three of us - Chloe, Layka, and Luna - have had a great time growing together in Puerto Rico. We look so alike that we've pulled off the switcheroo trick often! But now we're ready to split up and get our own humans in the DC area. This is what we are looking for: Sniffy walks, romps, all the adventures our families can dream up, and lots of snuggles! Coat maintenance is important to us too - daily brushing, please, to make sure we don't get all matted. But you know what I want most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where I belong. In exchange I promise so many adoring gazes and love and loyal companionship for all my days. What do you say? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

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.
