Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. From Passed Around to Hoping for Forever Meet COOPER This sweet boy was originally adopted from GCAS, but sadly his story didn’t end there. He reportedly kept escaping after doors were left open by kids, and instead of working through it, he was given away to a neighbor. After some time, the neighbor said they could no longer care for him either. A kind mail carrier noticed him day after day and was told he would be taken to the shelter… and instead, stepped in and brought him to South Jersey Rescue! When he arrived, he was in rough shape—severely matted, underweight. We got him to the groomer, and underneath it all is the sweetest little soul. ✨ About him: • Around 1.5 years old • ~13 lbs • Very affectionate and loving • Dog friendly • Has shown some barking toward men in the home (likely fear-based), but did great with the groomer Despite everything he’s been through, he just wants love. You can see how much he wants to trust again. We’re looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the stability he’s never had. A calm environment would be best while he decompresses and learns he’s finally safe. If you think you could be the one to give this boy the forever he deserves, fill out an app!

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.
