Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Boxer. Summer is a smart, energetic adolescent mix with a playful spirit and a love for learning. She already knows 'sit' and 'paw' and is eager to continue building her skills with an adopter who enjoys training and engagement. As an adolescent, Summer is still working on her basic manners, including mouthing and jumping on people-very typical behaviors for her age. Because of this, she would do best in a home with children over the age of 10 who can help reinforce calm, appropriate interactions. As a stray, Summer's history is largely unknown. However, she will need patient, understanding adopters who can gently introduce her to new experiences and help her build confidence as she navigates the world. She can be reactive to other dogs because she gets very excited to meet them and has a hard time containing her enthusiasm. Due to her energy level and reactivity, she will benefit from adopters who are committed to ongoing training and positive guidance. If you're looking for a dog who is sweet, playful, eager to learn, and ready to grow with the right support, Summer may be the perfect match for you. Summer is currently available Behind the Scenes and will require a Behavior Consult before going home with her forever family. She is also eligible for Foster to Adopt if you'd like more time to get to know her before making a commitment. Please ask Customer Care to learn more about meeting Summer.

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.
