Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. To complete an adoption application, click here: /forms/form?formid=5879 Hello! My name is Pippa but I used to go by Gopher at the shelter I came from. I am excited to find my forever home. I’m not sure what breeds I am but my foster mom thinks maybe a mix of dachshund and terrier. I weigh about 13 lbs and don’t shed much at all. I am currently staying in a home with other adult dogs and another foster puppy and I love them all! My best friend is a giant Rottweiler. There are also a couple cats here. I don’t really know what to think of them so I admire them from a distance and they seem perfectly fine with that. I love kids and am gentle enough that they seem to love me too! I am energetic and love to play but also love when it’s time to cuddle on the couch for some tv time. I sometimes need a reminder that not everyone loves kisses though. I am working on walking on the leash and doing pretty well. I like to stop and sniff everything because I am just learning about this big ol’ world but a little tug on my harness gets me back in focus. I am doing pretty well with potty training. I never have accidents in my kennel, even overnight, but since I’m still a puppy I need to be taken out regularly to avoid accidents if I’m roaming free in the house. My perfect home would be somewhere with a friend to play with and room to safely run around. I have excellent recall but a fence would help keep me safe.

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.
