Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. IN NEED OF LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER / AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT Meet Esme! More pictures and video below or to come! Esme is approx. 5 years old (approx. DOB 3-27-21), female, 46 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed. Esme assessed well with other dogs, may be good with cats (all cat & dog relationships are different), and is as sweet as pie. She ended up at the shelter after being a homeless, abandoned stray, and being hit by a car. X-rays did not show any breaks, but she experienced some nerve damage in her front leg that has been getting progressively better. Esme is very sweet and nice, sleeps a lot, and has lower energy. She likes to sit on your lap if allowed . She gives lots of gentle kisses, is house-trained, and prefers her meals served with peanut butter or eggs! Esme likes to sit with humans and get pets, likes to be in your arms if you’re near her level. Stay tuned for more information as Esme is a new rescue! If you are interested in adopting Esme, please fill out an Application at .Passion-4-Paws (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) - thanks! Please note that fosters have 1st option for adoption. Check out her Facebook Profile and like us while you are there! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

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.
