Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Get ready to brighten up your life with sweet Sunny. Sunny is a 2-year-old mixed breed gal weighing in right around 25 pounds. This gentle, sweet-natured girl is looking for a patient family to help her discover just how wonderful life can be. She came to us from a hoarding and neglect situation, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming at times. Because of this, Sunny is very shy and is still learning that people can be kind and trustworthy. Despite her fears, Sunny has a heart of gold. When she is unsure of things, she typically folds herself into a small space, rather than react. She is just a sensitive soul who needs some time to feel safe. Despite being a little shy, Sunny finds confidence in the company of other dogs. She absolutely loves her canine friends and would thrive in a home with a friendly, confident dog who can help show her the ropes and reassure her that everything is okay. She also does well with kids but would likely do best in a home with older children who can understand her need for patience and gentle interactions. Sunny has not yet had the chance to interact with cats, so her relationship with them is unknown at this time. Sunny is crate trained and enjoys having a cozy, secure space to call her own. Because she can be a flight risk when frightened, she will need a family committed to careful management and a secure environment while she continues to build confidence. Leash and house training are still in progress, but Sunny is sure to pick these skills up in no time. Sunny may not be the kind of dog to give out instant trust, but for the family willing to give her the time, love, and understanding she deserves, the reward will be incredible. Every day she makes a little more progress, and we know that with the right home, Sunny is going to blossom into a loyal, loving companion. * 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 Sunny 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.
