Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Meet Coca Cola! Lovingly nicknamed Coco by his foster family, Coca Cola is a young Blue Heeler mix who is newly neutered and just beginning his journey in rescue. After being abandoned and left behind in an apartment when his previous owners moved away, Coco was dealt a very unfair start in life. Because of that, the world still feels big, unfamiliar, and sometimes scary to him. Right now, Coco is timid and slow to warm up in new situations. Car rides, crates, and changes in environment are all very new experiences, and he is still learning that he is safe. He may hang back at first and observe quietly, but once he starts to feel comfortable, his true personality begins to shine. Underneath that initial shyness is a gentle, affectionate boy who genuinely enjoys human attention and wants to connect. One thing we’ve already discovered? He LOVES the snow! Watching him light up and play in the winter weather has been a joy for his foster family. Coco is showing beautiful signs of progress every day. He enjoys his meals, is beginning to seek out affection, and is slowly building confidence as he decompresses in foster care. With patience, consistency, and a little encouragement, he is learning that good things happen when he trusts. Coca Cola will thrive in a patient, dog-savvy home that understands shy dogs and is committed to helping him build confidence at his own pace. A predictable routine, positive reinforcement training, and gentle encouragement will help him continue to grow. A calm, confident canine companion could also help him feel more secure as he learns the ropes. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

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.
