Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Meet Nellie! Nellie is a sweet young girl, about a year old, who is looking for a patient and loving family to help her continue building confidence. She has come such a long way since arriving in rescue. Once she feels safe, she is incredibly sweet and loves being close to her people. Nellie is potty trained and crate trained, although she would much rather sleep in a cozy dog bed at night. She is working on her leash manners and can pull, especially when she knows she’s heading back “home.” She can also be startled by loud noises, cars, kids, and other unexpected things, but she is getting better every day. Nellie does well with her foster dog sister, although she may be selective about her canine friends. Another confident, friendly dog could be wonderful for helping her build confidence, but gentle introductions would be important. Some of Nellie’s favorite things: Napping in her cozy bed Chewing toys and learning to play with toys Quiet and routine Being close to her people Spending time with her foster dog sister Nellie is a very quiet girl and enjoys lounging in her bed next to the couch or occasionally joining her people on the couch. She eats well and is slowly discovering that toys can be fun! Nellie would do best in a quiet home with an experienced and patient dog owner who understands that confidence takes time. A fenced yard could be a wonderful bonus because she enjoys running. Nellie is a bit of a "flight risk" due to her timid nature and should always be safely supervised. Nellie isn't looking for a busy or chaotic life. She needs someone who will give her time, patience, routine, and reassurance while she learns that the world isn't such a scary place. In return, you'll get a very sweet girl who simply wants to be near her people and feel safe. If you have the patience to let Nellie blossom at her own pace, this sweet girl could be the perfect companion.

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.
