Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Genie, the small but mighty terrier mixed breed puppy. We arenât sure of Genieâs exact breed mix but anticipate she may be up to a 50-ish lb dog full grown. Genie has enjoyed meeting new people and playing since her arrival at the Shelter. Staff and volunteers have been working with Genie on her mouthy behavior. This means that while playing, she will sometimes put her teeth on people. Although this is a fairly normal behavior for puppies, Genie likely didnât get the socialization needed at a young age to curb this behavior through play with other dogs her age and/or from her momma dog. A home with another adult, playful dog will likely be the best fit for Genie moving forward as it will help Genie to grow into a good canine citizen and learn that puppy teeth are not for chomping on humans. A home with older children is recommended at this time, as younger ones may find Genieâs mouthing overwhelming. Genie will be a fun, confident puppy to grow up with but needs the right person with patience and a sense of humor to get through this puppy mouthing phase. Could you (and your dog) be Genieâs new family? The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

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.
