Description
Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat). Marty is an approximate 1- to 1.5-year-old, female, mixed breed dog who weighs about 35 lbs. We think she could be part Cattle Dog, but we don't know for sure. We should have named her Love Bug because she is the sweetest baby girl ever! She loves all people and isn't afraid to ask for hugs and pets from anyone. Marty came from a homeless camp in Oklahoma at the end of February with her 2-day old litter of 8 puppies. She is house trained and uses a doggie dog like a champ. She does well with other dogs but has not had any interaction with cats. She was a wonderful momma to her 8 babies and now it is her time to shine and find her forever family that will make her a part of their family. Marty is a pretty calm girl and has so much potential. She has not been kenneled in her foster home since she has a walk out basement with a doggie door so if her family plans to kennel her that could take some work. If you are interested in meeting Marty, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $250.00 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

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.
