Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. IN NEED OF LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTER / AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT Meet Apollo! More pictures and video below or to come! youtu.be/lPZmp5HIDek Apollo is 4 years old (approx. DOB tbd), 52 lbs., male, vetted, and is or will be neutered! Apollo's human dad was deployed and couldn't find him a home in SC, so he had to bring him to the overcrowded shelter. We cannot imagine the worry and devastation his dad must have felt leaving him there. We greatly appreciate our service members (and military dogs), so we wanted to make sure Apollo was saved! He previously lived with other dogs (big and small), cats, and even young kids! A dog that is dog, cat, and kid friendly! If you are interested in adopting Apollo, please fill out an Application at .Passion-4-Paws (please make sure you have the Vermont site, not CT) - thanks! Please note that fosters have 1st option for adoption. Check out his Facebook Profile and like us while you are there! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

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.
