Please contact Paul Slebzak (paulsluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. young girl looking for her forever family! TRINITY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Trinity and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (08/17) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100 - A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Trinity Best Guess for Breed: Australian cattle dog and blue heeler mix Best Guess for Age: 3.5 years as of April 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 51 lbs Gets Along With: Trinity has lived with other dogs and kids before though we would still caution her with young kids due to her shyness. We haven’t seen Trinity with cats, but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Special Adoption Considerations: Because Trinity is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show her the ropes. Trinity is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Check out videos of Trinity here: youtu.be/Fy-mDvW6ZKo, youtu.be/4f65xnUJE2s and youtu.be/0CD-rPXoo6U. Currently Living at: DC area foster home All About Trinity: Trinity is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves laps and belly rubs. She is intelligent and funny. She loves water and long hikes. She sleeps through the night, has no separation anxiety, and can be left alone with full run of the house. She will hike with you for miles, but is not high energy at home. She politely walks on a leash pass people and other dogs. She is easy to train, and knows sit, stay, down, paw, here, and watch. She is slow to warm up to another dog, but now gets along fine with the other dog in the house. She is shy at first, but bonds easily to her people, and started asking for belly rubs within a day of being in our house. She would prefer a quieter neighborhood. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

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.
