Description
Dog Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever / Mixed. At just 6 months old and 25 pounds, Rock has already come such a long way. He arrived at a shelter in Georgia alongside two other puppies, completely terrified of the world around them. They were so frightened they could barely be handled, trembling with fear whenever anyone came near. Thankfully, Rock was given a chance in a loving foster home, and that's where everything changed. With patience, kindness, and time, he blossomed into the happy, loving puppy he was always meant to be. Today, Rock is a wonderful companion who loves people, adores other dogs, is 100% house trained, and even gets along great with cats! Now safely in New Jersey, Rock is ready to leave his difficult past behind and find the forever family he's been waiting for. At only 25 pounds, he's a fantastic size and still has all the fun, playful energy of a young pup balanced with the gratitude of a dog who knows what a second chance feels like. Rock is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his vaccinations. All he needs now is a family to love him forever.

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.
