Description
Dog Breed: Corgi / Terrier / Mixed. Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianepluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. sweet boy ISO fresh start and love! ECHO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Echo Best Guess for Breed: Corgi and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 7 years as of July 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 13 lbs Gets Along With: Echo does well with other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Echo was rescued from a hoarding situation in South Carolina. He has not been well socialized with new people and has lived his whole life with other dogs. In addition, he only has vision in one eye and may be deaf. Being outside on a leash is a scary experience for him. He will need a patient adopter who can give him time to come out of his shell and learn that the world is a wonderful and welcoming place. And because he is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes. You may notice that his right eye is smaller than the left. It seems like it has been shrunken for a long time. It doesn't bother him and the vet's recommendation is to leave it alone. He can see out of his left eye but his vision is limited. We also believe he is deaf. Echo is Looking For: His forever home, filled with snuggles and opportunities to see the world! One where he is a cherished part of a family. He's very sweet, and SO ready to be a Real Dog. Extra patient and loving humans who introduce him to new places and people at his pace are exactly what he wants! Along with quality kibble, a cushy dog bed, and endless snuggles. You know what you get out of adopting a dog like that? An incredibly sweet and grateful dog who gives you all those adoring gazes, all the love and loyalty in his body, for all his days. What do you say? Is he the one for you? Are you his new chapter and forever home? What My Foster Says About Me: Echo is a sweet boy who seems hopeful about the future. Every time I’d look at him in the backseat on the drive home, he’d wag his tail. He isn’t comfortable walking on a leash. When he’s scared, his instinct is to lay down and freeze. If you sit with him and give him a moment, he’ll timidly army crawl to you with his tail wagging. Echo is cautiously confident inside but freezes when taken outside. We've created a small zone for him in the yard and he's working on becoming more confident there. He is very smart, food motivated, and eager to please. It's amazing to watch him mentally mapping out his little outdoor space. He met several kids at the adoption event and did really well! I think he’d be fine with older children. He’s sleeping well and likes his crate. He’s a very resilient dog and I think he’ll be a really rewarding dog to adopt. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

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.
