Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Cali has a very sad story, and one that stayed with all of us. She spent 8 years in a home with the same owner, her whole world, until he sadly passed away. No one knew for quite some time, and Cali was left alone in the house for two weeks with her deceased owner. When she was finally discovered, she was understandably terrified, confused, and heartbroken. Cali was picked up by animal control, and we were asked if we could help save her. The moment we met her, we fell in love. Is she shy? Yes. Skittish? Absolutely. But never once has she shown an ounce of aggression. Cali bonds quickly with her favorite people and, while she may always be a sensitive girl, she truly loves her humans once she feels safe. She does well with other dogs and may actually enjoy living with a canine companion. Although Cali is 8 years old, you would never know it — she still has so much life and love to give. Cali is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. This incredibly sweet girl has stolen our hearts, and we know she will do the same for the right home. Apply to adopt Cali at ehrdogs.

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.
