Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Meet our girl Shortcake! She is the sweetest slice of puppy goodness you will ever come across! At just 1 year old, this adorable tan short haired mixed breed is proof that good things come in small, shy packages, though she is starting to come out of her shell faster than you can say treat. Shortcake currently weighs 34 pounds making her a medium sized pup. Shortcake arrived at the rescue with what we believe is her sister, and together they are on a journey to find a family that loves a little mellow mischief. While she has got a gentle, reserved personality, do not let that fool you, she has got a playful side that is just waiting to shine, especially when it involves snuggling. Shortcake enjoys the company of other dogs and children. Her favorite activity? Getting pets from everyone who greets her, she is basically a professional cuddle enthusiast in training. Shortcake has not had the opportunity to meet any cats, so it is unknown how she will be with them. Her house, leash, and crate training are all in progress, and she is making fantastic strides. She is basically the puppy version of slow and steady wins the race. Shortcake is looking for a family that understands her gentle spirit and is patient as she continues to blossom. A home with a calm environment, plenty of love, and maybe a sibling or two to play with would be perfect. So, if you are ready to add a little sweetness to your life and help Shortcake become the confident, cuddly pup she is meant to be, she is your girl. Because when it comes to finding her forever family, this little Shortcake is ready to be the cherry on top of your life! * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability. The adoption fee for Shortcake 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.
