Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 295. Meet Skippy — a 2-year-old, 38-lb neutered sweetheart who is fully vetted and up to date on all vaccinations and tests. Skippy can be a little anxious when meeting new people and is initially scared of men, so he needs a patient, understanding home where he can feel safe and loved. With time, he truly blossoms. He has completely warmed up to his foster mom and, while he may still occasionally bark at her husband, he’s no longer afraid — just learning to trust. Skippy walks well on a leash but will bark at other dogs and people to announce his presence. With consistent redirection and guidance, this behavior is already improving and should continue to get better. He does fine in a crate, though he’s a bit of an escape artist unless extra security (like a carabiner or wire) is used. He is only crated when no one is home — otherwise, he enjoys free roam and does great in the house. This smart boy is fully house-trained and has had zero accidents. Skippy is an accomplished counter surfer and will need continued guidance, which he is already starting to grasp. He loves squeaky toys, sticks like glue to his people, and is very playful in the yard. He can get a bit mouthy during play (gentle mouthing or tugging at pant legs), so continued training will be important. With patience and consistency, Skippy is going to be an amazing companion for the right home. He just needs someone willing to help him come out of his shell and shine. And one more thing — like many gentlemen, Skippy is not a fan of house cleaning, so vacuuming is best done while he’s safely crated. Don’t pass up this scruffy, sweet boy — come meet Skippy for a trial!

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.
