Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat). Working dog, seeks active, pack leader Hi I’m Dottie and URGENTLY need a new place to live! I'm a 2-year-old, 60 lb herding dog, which means I feel big, love big, and need a life with structure, space, and someone who understands active, intelligent dogs like me. Right now, I’m not getting enough room or exercise to just be a dog. When I finally get let out, I start off a little frantic—but give me a bit of time to run it out, and I settle into my real self: affectionate, loyal, and deeply attached to my person. I can be shy when we first meet, but once I trust you, I’m all in. I know my basics (sit, stay, down, heel), and I actually feel better when I have a confident leader to give guidance—it helps me feel safe. A few honest things about me: I’m mouthy when I play (herding-dog style, not bitey) I need space, activity, and engagement I’m selective with dogs and prefer calmer companions or being your only dog Small kids can be overwhelming for me What I want is simple: a steady home, patience, and a chance to finally relax and bond with my person. If you think we might be a match, please reach out to loramyers51yahoo or adoptdoggieharmony or apply at doggieharmony/forms — Dottie To ensure the best match for pets and adopters, we ask that you complete an Adoption Application at doggieharmony (click “Forms”). Once approved, we’ll arrange a home visit with the pet. As a donation-funded rescue, an adoption fee is requested to help cover basic veterinary care.

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.
