Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Meet Dawson — a 2.5-year-old, 14.8-pound terrier mix with a heart full of joy and a dash of charming mischief. This all-white little spitfire came to CAWS from a rural Utah shelter, and he has been brightening every day since. After his recent spa-day groom, he’s feeling (and looking!) like a whole new man. Dawson is confident, social, and not the least bit skittish. He’ll occasionally bark to be let back inside or if crated too long, but overall he’s an easy, happy companion. He’s fully house-trained and crate-trained, though he shouldn’t spend long hours in a crate—he loves being part of the action far too much. He sleeps contentedly in a dog bed but also enjoys hopping onto the couch to cuddle his favorite humans. His soft little kisses are the sweetest bonus. While he hasn’t lived with children in his foster home, we believe he’d do well with respectful older kids. Dawson gets along beautifully with all the dogs in his foster home—big, small, male, and female. He loves spending time outside, so a home with a yard is preferred, along with humans who work from home, can bring him to work, or are retired. He truly thrives when he isn’t left alone for long stretches. This magnificent, one-of-a-kind pup is overflowing with sweetness and joy. He never should have landed in a shelter, but now that he’s with us, we’re committed to finding him the forever home he absolutely deserves. If you’re ready to welcome this remarkable little guy into your life, please submit an application for a meet-and-greet—he just might take your breath away. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200.

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.
