Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. Hi, I’m Thelma! I’m a 9 month old (as of January 2026), female hound mix, weighing in at 45 lbs. Just the right size for adventures and cuddles . I have a tan and white coat and my best feature? My big, brown doe eyes. People say they can melt hearts, and I may just use that to my advantage sometimes. I’m a smart pup and already learned “sit” very quickly ! I can be a little shy with new people and unfamiliar situations at first, but once I feel safe, my gentle and sweet personality really shines . I came to A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue a bit later in my puppyhood. I’m still learning about the world, but I’m making great progress every day. I surprised everyone by doing much better on leash after just one outing , and I’m a calm, easy rider in the car . I’ll be a loyal, loving companion ready to grow with you so If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful hound with a gentle heart and lots of potential, I just might be your girl. .

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.
