Description
Dog Breed: West Highland White Terrier Westie / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 400. Online Adoption Application › Legend was brought into the rescue after being surrendered to Wake County Animal Shelter for showing aggression to a 5 year old child. He was saved just in time- on his final hold date in the shelter. He is roughly 1.5 years old 8 lbs and completely vetted. He seems to be a happy little guy that walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and does well in the car. More than anything, Legend wants to be held. He is desperate for attention and can get underfoot-- creating a tripping hazard if you aren't careful. Legend hasn't shown any aggression to rescue volunteers-- we think that he needs an owner experienced with little dogs and a home without small children. His current foster home has teens. He can be a bit picky with food, but loves treats (especially cat treats). He will show interest in a squeaky toy if someone throws it for him. Legend is interested in other dogs and seems to get along with them well. If another dog is barking, he will join into the song. Watch this space as we learn more about him. ********************************************************** The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.

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.
