Description
Dog Breed: Hound (medium coat). From foster dog mom: Mr Peabody is currently being fostered in our home. He's asked me to tell you about his experience as well as I understand it, in his `words.` Around January 8, 2026 I was abandoned in the Ocala National Forest, a few miles from the Big Bass Campground. I stayed close to the spot where I was left, waiting for my people to come back to get me. I don't know what happened? One day I'm sleeping in the bed, doted over by my person. Then suddenly, I didn't know where my next meal would come from, it was nerve-wracking! This nice lady came along, she left food and water for me a few times. I didn't have a collar, or a microchip to help find my way home. This was discovered after picking me up Friday, January 9th in the afternoon. She took me to both the Leesburg Humane Society to get scanned for a microchip, then Marion County Animal Services. She intended to leave me there because she already has a full house of three large adopted dogs and five adopted cats. All of us are rescues, abandoned animals, all but one abandoned in the Ocala National Forest. Her big dogs are older, not really playful with me, but they leave me alone. Anyway, Animal Services had a full house already so they asked her if she could be foster dog-mom, so I'm here in her home. A little about me: I think I'm about four years old. I'm not interested in cats, I can tolerate them. I like playing tug with the rope toy. I really like gnawing my bone and I don't want anyone to snatch it from me. Even though I was pampered previously, sleeping in the bed and on the sofa, she has plenty of comfy dog beds and I'm fine sleeping on the floor. She has plenty of food and water for us at all times. That's nice, and I'm not a greedy gobbler, just eat what I need. We'd really like to find a special place for me! I'm a sweet, special guy who is looking for love. I give it! I love to snuggle, and give kisses. My tail is always happily wagging. I greet with manners, never jumping up on her work clothes. I know what sit, down, and kisses mean. I walk well on a leash, by myself or with the other dogs. I love car rides and ride well. I'm house-trained, I never have an accident in in the home I will gladly change my name if you want. She calls me Mr Peabody, but I kinda like Sunny. She already has a cat by that name, so, what am I gonna do? Call me anything, but please call me! She'll be happy to work with Marion County Animal Services to arrange our meeting. I'm looking forward to you finding me, the love of your life! My foster mom also wanted to add that I am neutered and heartworm negative. I am also easy to bathe! Yours truly, Mr Peabody and foster family

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.
