Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Gilbert is an absolutely adorable terrier mix puppy with a heart as big as his personality. Weighing in at just 4 pounds, he’s still a very little guy and very much a baby — and he knows how to melt hearts.He was born around 11/26 Gilbert is doing great with pee pads and is also going outside for short potty breaks as we continue working on house training. Because he’s so small (and with the weather being what it is), we’re being extra careful to keep him safe and comfortable while he learns. He’s a social, sweet pup who would love a playful canine companion in his future home. Gilbert does well with other dogs and has also done well with a dog-friendly cat — our cat even enjoys playing with the dogs! He truly enjoys having company and thrives with interaction. We are beginning crate training, though Gilbert is still very young and can feel lonely at times, so a family who is home often and able to provide reassurance, structure, and gentle guidance would be ideal. If you’re looking for a tiny, affectionate puppy who will grow into a devoted companion with the right support and love, Gilbert may be the perfect match. 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 $550 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.
