Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). URGENT: Luna Needs a Foster or Forever Home. Sweet dog, always a family dog, had since a small puppy. BUT NO TIME, no yard, and another baby coming! She is gentle, sweet, a bit timid, bonds quickly, takes treats gently, and not a dog to jump on you. She lives with older dog in a separate building from the home (air conditioning and sofa)! Likes to Ride int the car and BONED to her sweet older owner who has to give her up. Time is running out for Luna. Her owner is considering euthanasia simply because he can no longer care for her as an elderly owner, and we the Rescue are desperately trying to prevent a tragic ending for a truly good easy dog. The elderly owner in his eighties owner (grandfather with family in home) has been looking for months, contacting all rescues and shelters, for a new home for Luna because there is not room, and he cannot bring himself to take it to an overcrowded shelter, where the Luna would be killed. At the same time, he cannot keep this her! Luna's Story - She is a great KID=PROVEN pet. Not large, the perfect size, so easy to KEEP! Luna is a sweet, approximately 50-pound terrier mix, small bones and deep chest like a gray hound, a delicate dog with slight build, who found herself in an unfortunate situation through no fault of her own. She was originally left with an elderly couple (abandoned) by a friend of their granddaughter, and now they are overwhelmed while also helping raise their grandchildren. The family does not have a fenced yard, and because Luna is young and stronger than they are, they are afraid that she could eventually pull them down during walks. (ABSLUTELY POSSIBLE)! Although they have done their best for her, they simply cannot continue to provide the care she needs. We recommend that she is placed in a home with older children, one friendly dog (male preferably, but she lives fine with a female, a fenced yard (FINALLY), and older kids to play with her (no no kids) since she as she may be to active for toddlers. ❤️ About Luna Approximately 50 pounds VERY well housetrained Smart and sweet - Learns tricks quickly - BONDS quickly!!

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.
