Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Hi! I’m Nikolai! I’m a super sweet and lovable guy looking for a patient family to call my own. I can be pretty shy when meeting new people, but once I get to know you, I’ll be your loyal best friend and love being close to my person. I’m both crate trained and house trained at my foster mom’s house. Sometimes when I move to a new place, I may regress a little with house training because I get nervous, but with patience and a routine, I settle in nicely. Loud noises can be a little scary for me, so a calm home would help me feel safe. I’ve met kids and cats, but I haven’t been around them enough to be completely comfortable yet. Because of my shy nature, I would do best with older kids who understand that I need a little time to warm up. Once I feel comfortable, I love to play outside! My favorite things are fluffy beds and balls. I’m a very well-behaved boy who knows my basic commands. Walks on a leash can still be a little intimidating for me because of loud noises, but I’m trying my best and improving with encouragement. If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet companion who just needs a little patience and love to shine, I might be the perfect dog for you. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $575.00

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.
