Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed. Hi there! I’m Alfie, and I am officially ready to start my new life as your professional lap-warmer! I’m a 7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix weighing in at a sturdy 13 lbs., and let me tell you, I have a storied past, but I’d rather move forward with love and a wagging tail than look backwards. When I first arrived, I was feeling a bit weighed down (and a lot of messy, matted fur), but after a much-needed, heavy-duty spa day , I am feeling light, fresh, and fancy-free! I am also a total social butterfly . If there is a person in the room, I want to be their best friend! I’m an attention-lover who will lean right into you or hop into your lap the second I get the chance. I’m also a big fan of other dogs. I think everyone is just great! I haven't met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I feel about them, but I’m definitely a "people person." A few fun facts about me: Cheese is life: I will do just about anything for a little cheesy snack! Kibble over canned: I’m a crunch lover! I’m not a fan of wet food, so keep the dry stuff coming. Housetrained: I have impeccable house manners and I wait to do my business outside. Easy walker: I’m a dream on a leash and love a good stroll. Happy & Wiggly: I’m just a sweet, joyful guy who wants to meet everyone in the room! Despite my bumpy journey, I haven't let it dampen my spirit for a second. I’m just a lovely, happy boy looking for a forever home where I can get lots of cuddles (and cheese). Could I be the missing piece to your family?

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.
