HICKORY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Hickory Best Guess for Breed: Sheltie Mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of July 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 19.6 lbs as of July 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Shelter. Needs a foster or forever home! Special Adoption Considerations: Hickory was rescued from a hoarding situation in South Carolina. She has not been well socialized with new people and has lived her whole life with other dogs. New nosies, cars, bikes, and other things may create fear and anxiety. She will need a patient adopter who can give her time to come out of their shell and learn that the world is a wonderful and welcoming place. Because Hickory is shy, she is required to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show her the ropes. Hickory is Looking For: A forever family! All she asks for is some toys, treats, and maybe even a soft bed. Given her young age, she will need mental and physical stimulation and time to play with doggie friends. What My Foster Says About Me: Will update once Hickory has spent some time in foster care! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

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.
