Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Name: Oswald Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 7 months old (as of 7/22) Best Guess for Breed: Boston Terrier Mix Weight: About 35-40 lbs (as of 7/22) Lives With: Dogs, kids and all people! Housebroken? He’s working on his potty training and making great progress! Rescued from: Alabama Story: Oswald (or Ozzy, as we’ve been calling him) is a spunky, adorable little guy. He is a dark brindle with some white patches, and a unique little black-and-pink nose. Ozzy loves to follow his humans around the house and see what they’re up to— he likes to be a part of whatever may be going on. He loves our toy box and pulling all of his toys out, one by one. He is pretty good about knowing what he’s allowed to chew on (what is a toy vs. what is not), but he is still learning that slippers, although fuzzy, are not toys. Regular shoes have been safe in our house, though! As far as obedience training goes, he knows “sit” and “paw”. He is still learning how to walk on the leash but has made fantastic progress in a short time. He has also made impressive progress in house training! He will bark at you to alert that he needs to go out— he’s still a puppy, but as long as you follow his cues that he needs to go outside, accidents are easily avoided. He does well in his crate overnight, quickly settling in to his blankies and falling asleep. He’s not very fond of being in the crate when he can hear people still in the house yet— he will cry for a short time but is making progress and learning to settle himself. Finally, the best part about Ozzy is his affection! He LOVES to snuggle. If we are on the couch, he is asking for “uppies” (“please pick me up and put me on the couch with you!”). It’s very cute— he is easily able to jump up on the couch by himself, but he prefers to perch up on the edge of the couch and wait to be lifted up. He quickly snuggles up next to you, either nuzzling his nose into you wherever it will fit, or resting his head on your chest to gaze up at you. It’s been very sweet having such a snuggly, loving puppy in the house! The fee to adopt Oswald is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Oswald might be your perfect match, apply today!

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.
