Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (Parson Russell Terrier) (medium coat). Hello! Iâm Max! Iâm a sweet, playful boy looking for my new home. Iâve lived indoors my whole life and am fully house trained. I even ring a bell when I need to go outside! Iâm crate trained when left alone, love car rides, and get very excited for walks (sometimes I pull because Iâm so eager). I know lots of commands like sit, stay, lay down, sit pretty, fetch, and more Iâm very treat-motivated and love learning. Iâm a fun, affectionate dog with a puppy-like personality. I love fetch, swimming, chasing sprinklers, and cuddling. Balls are my favorite, and if you hold one too long, Iâll sit there wiggling with excitement. I enjoy stuffies (especially taking them apart) and have a bit of a sassy streak, but I adjust well once Iâm comfortable.I can be nervous around strangers and may bark or growl at first, but I warm up with time. Iâd do best in a home with children over 12 who understand dog boundaries. Iâm shy and fearful with other dogs and would need a slow, in-shelter meet and greet. Iâve chased cats before, so a cat-free home is best. Iâm nervous but well-behaved at the vet. With patience, love, and understanding, Iâll be a loyal, playful companion. I canât wait to meet you and show you what a good boy I am!

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.
