Description
Dog Breed: Terrier (long coat). Axel is an adorable 1 year old Terrier mix who is looking for a new living situation! He’s sweet, goofy, energetic, and full of personality — the kind of dog who keeps you laughing and then curls up beside you at the end of the day. Weighing in at just 16 pounds ! Personality Axel loves women and kids and is a happy-go-lucky guy overall. He does well around other dogs and has been caught giving his new friend Callie kisses through the kennel. A proper meet and greet is always recommended to ensure the best fit. He hasn’t been cat tested yet, so slow, proper introductions would be needed. He’s affectionate and loves to snuggle — around 8 pm he’s ready to curl up on the couch and be your official movie buddy for life. He’ll happily lay or sit at your feet while you cook and just wants to be near his people. Play & Energy Axel LOVES toys and especially tennis balls. He’s energetic but gentle when playing. He has a strong prey drive (squirrels and rabbits beware!) and he’s fast with impressive jumping skills — so secure fencing and leash walks are important. Training Axel is treat motivated (soft treats are his favorite!) and currently learning: Sit Down Stay (working on full stops at doors and on walks) He’s learning to walk nicely on the right side but may bark and pull when passing other dogs or men. He does jump on people and will need continued training and consistency. He is not fully potty trained yet, so he’ll need patience and guidance in that area. Axel sleeps well in his crate all night (a little background noise like an air purifier helps him rest soundly). He has no food aggression and takes treats gently. He’s also incredibly clever — he can stand on his back legs to push open doors and reach countertops! If he thinks he’s done something wrong, he may hide under furniture. He seems sensitive and possibly fearful of punishment, so positive reinforcement and a gentle, patient home will help him truly blossom. Axel is quiet in his kennel room even with several other dogs nearby. He’s a sweet, loving boy who just needs structure, patience, and a family ready to help him grow into his best self. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will complete that missing piece of your family puzzle — Axel is here. Apply to adopt at projecthopearf

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.
