Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Rocco is an 8-month-old mixed breed weighing about 40 lbs, and he’s the last one still waiting. He was one of nine puppies dumped on the street in Kosovo, all taken in by a shelter. One by one, his siblings were chosen and left in pairs… until only Rocco remained behind. While everyone else got their chance, he’s still sitting there, wondering when it will be his turn. Rocco is an incredibly sweet, gentle boy who truly loves everyone he meets. He’s great with people, wonderful with other dogs, and has the kind of easy, affectionate personality that makes him such a joy to be around. He’s never shown any behavioral issues and is just a happy, loving pup who wants to be part of a family. He is neutered, fully vaccinated (documented in his pet passport), and has no known medical concerns. He currently lives in a shelter setting, so he’ll need a little guidance with things like house training, but he’s young, eager, and ready to learn.

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.
