Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. **Please note that Flower is a courtesy post and is not located at or affiliated with Paws Crossed Animal Rescue Help 3-Legged Flower Bloom! Lovable 3 legged pittie needs a special person to love her! This sweet girl had a very rough start…all she wants now is a loving forever home suited to meet her needs! She is 2 now and still as energetic as a puppy! As a puppy, Flower was attacked by another dog on her own home -a concerned neighbor rushed her badly injured, barely conscious, little body to a nearby vet. After she was stabilized, it became clear that her leg would need to be amputated. It was tough but this determined little soul made it through and has fully recovered. She is still understandably fearful when first meeting others. During her recovery she was bounced around a bit from foster to foster- not her fault- just the circumstances of the humans helping her. Flower is a heart-melting friendly girl who is prone to some big feelings when she first meets people. But when properly introduced it takes about 5 minutes you're "in," you're her friend for life. Thankfully, during her past many months Flower been receiving the training and other supports needed to give her more confidence and a feeling of safety. Her fosters have loved her so much that they all stay in touch and one even travels from Brooklyn to Westchester on a regular basis to visit her! If you fall in love with her, you would need to commit to following her introduction protocol in your own home to help Flower continue making positive associations with new people. Miss Flower would likely do best as an only pet in a home with a fenced yard and someone who is home most of the time.Having other pets is not a deal breaker and would need to be considered case by case. Flower is truly full of sunshine- she is energetic and likes to play and go for walks- having 3 legs does not slow her down at all. She has even gone swimming in a life vest and loves it! She is like a spring when her family or someone she knows visits- she literally jumps for joy. It would be great to find a patient, committed adopter who has experience with dogs. Flower needs loving guidance to feel safe.

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.
