Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Finch came to us with his brother, Ford. They were surrendered from a family that had too many dogs they could not take care of. He is a little on the shy side, but warms up quickly with treats and gentle pets. His nick-name is "Mouth" because he gets his mouth searching all over us, looking for treats. Finch will not get much bigger than he is now. He has only been outdoors, but loves laying inside the shelter on his bed, chewing on toys. Finch is partially house trained and prefers to go outside of his room. He would be good with other dogs and older, considerate kids (his searching for treats could overwhelm a small child). If you would like more information, please contact our shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at schspets and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet.

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.
