Description
Dog Breed: Sheep Dog. Meet Your New Best Buddy! ***SENIOR*** Buddy is a 9-year-old male Sheltie weighing about 18 pounds. After his beloved owner experienced a medical emergency, Buddy found himself in a shelter through no fault of his own. As you can imagine, this has left him feeling a bit confused and shy. He’ll need a patient, understanding person who can give him the time and space he needs to truly blossom. Buddy is a gentle, sweet soul who happily allows himself to be picked up and brushed. He appears to be house-trained, using a combination of pee pads and outdoor potty breaks. While he’s past the chewing stage of puppyhood, he still has a nice bit of energy and enjoys staying active. He gets along well with his small foster dog siblings and will happily join in play when another dog invites him. After some recent bad luck, Buddy is ready to find a loving forever home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe and cherished. Are you the perfect person to help Buddy bloom?

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.
