Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Spike has had a rough start in life but has finally gotten a clean bill of health! He is approximately 8 months old. due to his illness' he was potty pad trained and has since been going outside to learn how to potty. He knows sit, down, off, place and sometimes "no bite" as he likes to mouth everything but it' not him being mean, it's just a plaything with him. He is working on his jumping. He is also crate trained as long as you cover his crate (which is something he could overcome) He wants to play with other dogs but as a sick puppy was not allowed. He's a very active boy who would flourish with more training and social skills. He is fully vetted; all shots, neutered, heartworm tested and on heartworm prevention. He wants to play with other dogs, but the dogs in the current home are not dog friendly. He likes to run up to the cats but doesn't touch them, wants to play. We would suggest older children as he likes to jump and mouth. Spike is filled with lots of energy and would benefit from an active owner or family. Spike does have occasional “flare ups” due to some type of autoimmune deficiency that his vet has not been able to diagnose but a short course of doxycycline and steroids keeps it in check. If you think you can give Spike the time, patience and training that he needs, please feel free to fill out an application and we will put you in contact. He is also available for foster.

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.
