Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Hound / Mixed (short coat). Please contact ADOPTION (adoptdoggieharmony) for more information about this pet. Meet Roo — a golden-eyed survivor ready to leap into her forever home Roo’s story begins with heartbreak and hope. She was surrendered by an unhoused person who loved her enough to seek help before a dangerous ice storm, wanting a safer, better life for this puppy he had been gifted but could not shelter. When Roo arrived, she was trembling with fear after living a long stretch of nomadic street life. Fast-forward just one week in a warm, stable home — and Roo is blossoming. Estimated to be around 9 months old, Roo is a gentle, thoughtful girl with the most striking golden eyes and a soft, soulful presence. She’s already about 80% potty trained, sleeps in her crate through the night (with a little puppy-style protest at first), and is learning quickly. She already knows to sit before going through doors and for treats, showing how eager and capable she is. Roo is dog-friendly and cat-friendly, enjoys playtime, walks, fetch, and zoomies, and then happily settles in for cozy movie nights. She can be shy and cautious with new people at first, but with slow introductions, she warms up and becomes affectionate and sweet. Her ideal home would include: A confident dog companion to help boost her confidence Older, respectful kids (she’s still building experience with very young children) A patient family who will continue her positive training and socialization Roo is a resilient, loving soul who has already come so far. Now she just needs a forever family willing to help her take the next leap.

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.
