Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Tommy Age: 3 years Breed: Terrier Mix Sex: Male Weight: 40 pounds About: Tommy has been at the shelter for 92 days. 92 long, hard days. His spirit was broken, he was unsure what he did to deserve the life he was handed. But little did Tommy know he was going to receive the VIP treatment coming in! Tommy had such bad pressure sores on both sides of his hips that you could almost see his bones. Sores so deep and bad off even doc said they were one of the worst ones he has seen! Tommy was severely underweight but he still held his head high and loved people. Thanks to our vet for getting Tommy in quickly and a very generous donor for covering his medical bill, and our animal care team for not giving up on him, Tommy is now almost 20lbs heavier, and his sores...almost nonexistent!! His spirit is slowly coming back and he’s ready to put the bad things behind him and find that special family who can show him what its like to have someone love him unconditionally. He's a pretty chill guy who doesn’t seem to let a lot phase him. Yard time? Cool, he can go sniff around - completely ignoring you! But like most bully breeds, he quite enjoys sun baking like a potato! He doesn’t mind if he has to share a play yard with other dogs or kids. He just does his own thing! He takes treats gently and walks wonderful on a leash. While we cant say he’s 100% potty trained, he is very good about going to the outside of his indoor/outdoor run to go potty. Tommy has grown quite fond of having a big thick blanket to sleep on to help his hips and the pressure sores, so a comfy bed to sleep on is at the top of his list. He loves to "talk" to you when he wants attention or event just a treat!

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.
