Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Midnight is a 3-year-old male who was sadly surrendered through no fault of his of his own. This handsome boy has a calm, gentle nature and is friendly with people, other dogs, cats, and loves kids!!! Midnight recently underwent a tail amputation and is in the proccess of healing due to having happy tail. If you dont know, happy tail is a painful condition where a dog wags its tail so hard and fast against hard surfaces (in Midnight’s case the shelter kennel) that the tail tip becomes raw, cracked, bleeds, and develops open wounds, sometimes leading to infection or nerve damage. This just goes to show that he really is such a sweet and loving boy!! He's also heartworm negative, neutered, healthy, and ready to start his new life. Midnight doesn't ask for much—just a soft bed, kind words, and someone who will love him forever. He's past the puppy stage and has wonderful manners, making him an easy companion.

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.
