Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Penny was picked up by animal control as a stray and relocated with the original owner registered to the microchip. The original owner was separated from Penny 8 years prior from a former re-homing. The original owner is temporarily fostering Penny to keep her out of a shelter but is not able to account for the past 8 years of her medical/social/family history. Penny did receive shots when she was picked up by animal control and she has a rabies voucher. Currently (and historically), Penny is an incredibly sweet, submissive, and very food-motivated old lady. She has been staying in a crate during unsupervised hours (due to the presence of other senior dogs in the home) and is okay with it but she really doesn't need to be in one and is housebroken and well-mannered. Penny gets along with all people and animals but sometimes seems a little shy/nervous when meeting new dogs but shows zero aggression. Penny definitely loves people. Penny is overweight and struggles with mobility so she would do better in an environment that doesn't require her to walk up a lot of stairs. **** Breed: Lab Mix **** Pet Link: .nokillnetwork/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2199825&flag=1

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.
