They thrive with structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. With proper outlets for their energy and clear routines, they grow into loyal and engaging companions. Zoey already shows how quickly she learns when given praise and treats. Zoey’s Story & Personality: Zoey is a bright, high-energy girl who does best with structure and routine — especially daily walks, which are very important for her. She is currently working on housebreaking and leash training and will need continued patience and consistency. Praise and treats go a long way with her, as she is very food motivated and eager to please. She sleeps soundly all night in her crate and enjoys cozy afternoon naps on a lap. She loves riding in the car and enjoys being close to her person. Zoey does have some fear issues she is still working through and will need a patient adopter who can give her time to build confidence and open up. She cannot jump down from the couch or go downstairs on her own and must be carried for safety. She goes upstairs just fine. With time, routine, and reassurance, Zoey will continue blossoming into a confident and devoted companion. Zoey’s Ideal Home: Patient adopter committed to continued training Would do great with another playful pup in the house Structured home with consistent daily walks Someone willing to carry her down stairs and off furniture Calm, understanding environment to help her build confidence A family ready for both activity and lap snuggles Ready to Help a Smart Girl Shine?

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.
