Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Terrier / Mixed. Shawn is a sweet and charming young dog who is ready to find a loving home where he can continue to grow and explore and enjoy all the comforts of family life. This handsome boy is a tri color Hound mixed breed who is almost 5 months old. He has a soft short coat and an expressive face that makes him impossible not to love. He currently weighs about 28 lbs. and is expected to grow into a medium sized adult (anywhere up to 60 lbs.). This makes him a great size for families who want a dog big enough for adventures but still easy to manage. Shawn has a naturally friendly and playful personality and loves being around people. He enjoys going for walks and spending time with anyone who is willing to give him attention. He has a medium energy level which makes him the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. He is always ready for playtime but also happy to settle in once he has had his exercise. He does well with other dogs and is also good with children which makes him a wonderful fit for a variety of home environments. His experience with cats is currently unknown. Shawn is leash trained and enjoys walks however his house and crate training are still in training so his future family should be prepared to offer consistency and structure and positive reinforcement as he continues learning the ropes. What matters most to Shawn is having a family who will give him time to adjust and plenty of affection with a warm place to curl up each night. If you are searching for a young dog with a gentle heart and playful spirit and tons of potential Shawn may be the perfect match. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Shawn is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

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.
