He would love someone to show him the ropes of living in a house and learning lots of new tricks - will work for treats! Lots of love, pets, and playtime is just what he needs. What My Foster Says About Me: Wheelie is as happy and friendly as they come! He adores every person he meets, from kids to adults, and happily leans in and curls up close for pets and affection. He’s a true social butterfly with other dogs too, playing well with our resident dog and showing impressive canine social skills and respect. On walks he greets other dogs in a friendly, polite way. Wheelie has great house manners and rides very well in the car, making him an easy companion for outings or adventures. He’s an enthusiastic walker who’s excited to explore the world. When he plays, his signature move is bouncing in happy little circles, something that makes us suspect that’s exactly how he earned the name “Wheelie.” He also loves toys, especially chew toys, and is content entertaining himself. Overall, Wheelie is an easygoing, affectionate, and joyful boy who would make an incredibly loving and loyal companion! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.

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.
