Description
Dog Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). // Find our applications at .midwestanimalrescue Adoption Fee: $600 plus tax My name is Goofy and I am a snuggly, playful, good-natured boy. I’m eager to please and a fast learner, not to mention very food-motivated.I have done well in the playpen where I spend my time during the day. I play very well with other dogs, get along well with children (age 4 and up so far) and aside from some food-guarding (which I’m confident I will outgrow in time), I would a aprreciate a moment to meet and sniff you so we can be best friends. I am crate-trained, although for the time being I share a small space with my foster brother instead of a crate when left home alone and when sleeping. We play a lot - I love tug, wrestling and chasing. I have not been exposed to cats yet so I don’t know if I’d like them but I would love to be in a house with another dog! I walk very well on a leash, and I will bark at people and dogs I see on our walks because everything is new and I need to let them know I am there. I am ready to learn and pick up on things quickly so if you don’t want me barking I will be very eager to do it your way. Speaking of barking, I’ll bark excitedly when I see you preparing my food, when you walk in the door after being gone a long time, or for a bit when I’m left totally alone. Occasionally I’ll bark during play or if a delivery person comes to our door and I don’t think anyone has noticed. I don’t bark all day or for no reason. I’m sure a lot of my barking is due to some lingering anxiety from lots of change and I think that will settle with consistency once I know I have found a place and people to call home. Overall, I’m such a sweet, special boy and I know I will bring so much joy and love to my new family!

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.
