Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Ready to add a little excitement to your life? Riley is a fun loving 1 year 3 month old large sized mixed breed with a handsome tan and white medium to long coat and enough enthusiasm to keep every day interesting. This energetic young guy is always ready for his next adventure and cannot wait to find a family that shares his zest for life. Riley is a very tall dog who is currently working on gaining some weight and filling out his large frame and will ideally be over 65 pounds once fully filled out. Riley has a high energy level and thrives when he has opportunities to run, play, and explore. One of his favorite things is water, and he absolutely loves splashing around whenever he gets the chance. In fact, Riley would likely excel at water sports and other active adventures. He has done well with other dogs and loves having canine friends, although his excitement can sometimes make him a tad annoying to more laid back dogs. Riley is also good with children of all ages once he has had time to adjust and is okay with cats. His playful personality and love for adventure make him a great companion for an active family. Riley is house trained, crate training is in progress, and is working on pulling on a leash. Although Riley is house trained, accidents can still occur while adjusting to a new home environment. Riley would do best in a home that can provide structure, consistency, and plenty of physical and mental exercise. Because of his size, energy level, and training needs, he would thrive with a family that is willing to enlist the help of an experienced trainer. He should be crated when left unattended as he continues working on his training and learning household routines. An active family committed to ongoing training and enrichment would be a great match for this energetic boy. * Please keep in mind when considering adoption, dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust significantly better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Riley is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

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.
