Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 395. Meet Abby! Abby is a happy, friendly little Sato puppy who was unlucky enough to be born on the streets of Puerto Rico. There were originally 8 puppies in her litter. Their mom was very social and would approach people, but the puppies were growing up in a busy parking lot near a restaurant, surrounded by cars and all the dangers of street life. Somehow, Abby's mom taught her that people can be trusted. Sadly, Abby is now the only puppy left. We don't know what happened to her seven siblings, and that's exactly why we couldn't leave this little girl behind. Our organization agreed to take Abby, and she is now safely in foster care in Puerto Rico. Instead of searching for food and dodging cars, she's learning what it's like to live in a home. She's learning to walk on a leash, getting plenty of good food, and most importantly, she's being loved. Abby is only 2.5 months old, so she's still very much a baby. Once she completes her veterinary protocol, we'll get her on a flight to Virginia and start looking for her forever family. Her mom will also be spayed, helping us stop at least one more part of the cycle that creates so many homeless puppies. We are so happy we could say YES to this little Sato. She deserved the chance to be more than a puppy born on the streets. 2.5 months old Happy and friendly Learning to live in a home Learning to walk on a leash Currently in foster care in Puerto Rico Coming to Virginia after completing her vet protocol Adoption fee: $395, which includes her spay when she is old enough Abby's story could have ended in that parking lot. Instead, she gets a chance at a family, a safe home, and a future. Now we just need to find the people who will help us finish her story. ❤️ Click an image to complete one of our adoption applications today!

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.
