Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie. Shelby the Sheltie is an absolutely incredible little dog with the sweetest soul. It’s clear he was deeply loved by his person — sadly, his owner went into the ICU and had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to their local animal shelter. Through no fault of his own, Shelby found himself starting over. Approximately 7–8 years old and just 29 lbs, Shelby is the perfect size and the perfect gentleman. He is very sweet, friendly, happy, and outgoing. He greets everyone with a soft expression and a wagging tail, and he does wonderfully with both people and other dogs. Shelby is the kind of dog who settles right into your heart (and your home). He’s past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of joyful energy to share. Shelby is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines — and ready for a second chance at the loving home he so clearly deserves.

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.
