Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Terrier / Mixed. Lainey is an adorable munchkin - at 25 lbs and almost 3 years old she is a sweet low-rider who charms all she meets. Lainey is easygoing, she doesn't mind going out in the cold, and she has been doing so regularly for short walks and potty. Her foster says that Lainey loves to be outside sniffing around and exploring. Lainey is working on her leash skills. Her foster believes that Lainey has had little to know leash training before rescue, so she zig zags a bit, but continues to get better with every walk! According to her foster, Lainey is a medium energy level who needs outlets for her energy. She loves to chase balls (still mastering the "bring it back"part), enjoys enrichment toys like snuffle mats and puzzles, and will settle down for a good chew with a bone or kong. Lainey enjoys a good nap, and she loves people. Once she knows you, her foster says, Lainey is a lap dog who is very cuddly, wants to snuggle next to you, and wants to be touching someone both when sitting down and at rest. She can be vocal around strangers at first, but she calms down quickly when rewarded for quiet behavior. She also likes to be "neighborhood watch" and will often bark at things she sees out the window. Lainey has done well with other dogs in the home with proper introductions. While she enjoys roughhousing with dogs of similar size and energy level, she respects dogs who do not want to engage. She is curious and young, so Lainey can be mouthy and must be supervised as she enjoys chewing on toys as well as items (she shouldn't shew) left within her reach. Lainey is housebroken and she will be vocal if crated. However, when left in a safe, gated area, Lainey does well, and will settle in and relax. Lainey's foster describes Lainey as a "sweet, smart, silly, and full of personality." She continues to say, "With guidance and structure, Lainey will be an amazing companion!" PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA region.

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.
