Description
Dog Breed: Wirehaired Fox Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 400. Oliver 2 years old | 14 lbs | Wire-haired terrier mix Meet Oliver — a wire-haired whirlwind with a big-dog personality packed into a small, scruffy frame. This 14-pound firecracker spends his days prancing from one adventure to the next, chasing tennis balls until his legs give out and engineering creative solutions to the garbage can lid situation. His sparkling eyes are basically a warning label for sock theft. For all his feisty bravado, Oliver has a tender side too. Loud noises like thunder send him sprinting for cover, and new people can make him a little uncertain — he'd much rather assess someone from a safe distance before deciding they're worthy of his affections. Once you've earned his trust, though, you have a fiercely loyal companion for life. Oliver is looking for an all-female household where he can truly relax and feel secure. Men and even younger boys make him very anxious. He blossoms with patient, calm energy and will reward that safety with endless personality, snuggles, and the occasional stolen sneaker. If your home is his kind of haven, Oliver is ready to steal your heart — along with your favorite footwear.

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.
