Description
Dog Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie (long coat). Hello, my name is Winston. I was born at Sheltie Shack Rescue right before Christmas 2021, so I will be 5 years old this year. Since I can't talk human, my foster mom can only guess in part what may have caused my family to surrender me back to her, but she will be happy to share those thoughts with anyone serious about adopting me. I just had a serious dental (had a broken tooth for over 6 months that wasn't addressed, I was in pain). I'm on soft food until the disolvable stitches are healed, along with some pain meds and antibiotics. I tend to be a bit needy. As large as I am (38#), I want to sit in my foster moms lap anytime she sits down (she usually lets me). She told me I can be naughty shredding up tissues or tearing up my stuffed toys (except for my favorite one, an oversized ball. She is also helping me get my confidence back. I have tried to get a couple of my foster sheltie siblings to play with me, they are either old and grumpy or not interested....I'd sure like a playmate. Children aren't my cup of tea, so no kids nor grandkids that frequent the home. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask my foster mom. I have some time to recover before I can pick a new family. In the meantime, I'm also on a diet (I am too heavy, I'm told).

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.
