Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Nillie is a 5-month-old mixed breed pup—maybe some shepherd in there, maybe not… honestly, your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is she is ridiculously cute and full of personality. She’s your typical happy puppy: playful, outgoing, and always ready to make a new friend. Nillie loves people, does great with other dogs, and is especially proud of her best friendship with the resident cat—so she’d be more than happy in a home with feline siblings. She’s still learning the ropes like any young pup, but she’s eager, social, and ready to grow into an amazing companion with a family to guide her. Nillie is microchipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccines—ready to head home and start her next adventure.

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.
