Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Meet Georgia Hi! I’m Georgia, a Shepherd mix around 10 months old and about 30 pounds — my foster mom says I’m the perfect-sized package! I’m a happy, fun-loving girl who enjoys toys, chewing on bones, and a good game of fetch. Playtime is definitely one of my favorite things. I currently live with several other dogs and get along well with them. Because of my past, where meals weren’t always guaranteed, I do need to be fed separately so I can feel safe and relaxed at mealtime. With that small accommodation, I do great in a multi-dog home and would actually love to have another playful dog around to keep me company and help boost my confidence. I’m a smart girl and already working hard on learning new commands. I’m very treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of us! Like any young dog, I’m still learning how to live in a house and will need continued guidance and patience in my forever home so I can grow into the very best version of myself. I’d do best in a home with older kids (around 8+) who understand how to give me space when I need it and help me continue building confidence. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
