Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Meet Rooney Age: 3 years Weight: 52 lbs Breed: Mixed Hound Sex: Female (spayed) Rooney is a sweet, sensitive hound girl looking for a calm, predictable home where she can feel safe and loved. She bonds deeply with her person and would make a wonderful companion for someone who works from home or simply enjoys having a loyal dog nearby. She loves sleeping close to her human and has peacefully slept in bed with both her current foster and her former owners. Ideal Home Rooney needs a low-traffic home with no young children. Older, dog-savvy children may be appropriate as long as they understand her boundaries and the home environment remains quiet. She can be nervous around new people—especially men—and will need a patient adopter who can give her time and space to warm up. Slow, gentle introductions work best for her. With Guests Rooney is wary of strangers and prefers a calm, structured approach when meeting new people. Her adopter should be prepared to manage her space during visits and help her feel secure. Other Pets Rooney displays resource guarding around food, toys, and treats. For this reason, she will do best as an only dog so she can relax without feeling the need to compete. Outdoor Needs Rooney requires a secure, fenced yard. Her previous owners reported that she spent a lot of time outside and is trained on an invisible fence. She also typically does not poop on walks and prefers to use the yard instead. She is housebroken and crate trained. Personality Rooney is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she can be near her person. She is not suited for a busy household, but for someone looking for a devoted companion, she will be a wonderfully attached and loving partner.

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.
