Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? .muttloverescue/foster.html ***************** Taylor is a young foxhound who is thriving in his foster home. Until coming to Mutt Love Rescue, Taylor likely had very little (if any) experience in a home. So, home life is mostly new to him, like the sound of a TV, a washing machine, or the kitchen -- at first he wasn't sure what to make of any of it. But Taylor's foster family reports that he's working hard, and every day he's a little braver and a little more confident than the day before. Every day he crept a little closer to the kitchen, and now he's side-by-side with the rest of the pack waiting for dinner. His foster home's backyard was intimidating, but now he's playing without a care with the other hounds in his home. And once he learned that curling up for naps on the couch isn't scary, you can see how much he really wants to bond with his family and settle into a forever home. Taylor needs a patient family who understands that trust takes time — and it will absolutely be worth the wait. Taylor has already mastered the "big stuff" -- he's housebroken, good in a crate when needed (but not really needed), and sleeps through the night. He will need work on a leash, as neighborhood noises can still make him anxious. But he's getting better on every walk. Taylor is getting more comfortable in front of the camera, too: photos.app.goo.gl/HAbAtNMiyRmeimGY9 It would be ideal for Taylor to find a home with another dog (or two), as the two dogs in his foster home are helping build his confidence. Taylor was heartworm positive, but is through his treatment and is otherwise healthy. Please reach out to Mutt Love Rescue if you'd like to meet Taylor. His foster home is in Alexandria, VA, so we can arrange a meeting either at a weekly adoption event or elsewhere. **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at .muttloverescue/application.html OR write to adoptmuttloverescue.

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.
