Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie. Meet Boston — a 1‑year‑old Yorkie mix who came to us all the way from Georgia. He was rescued from a hoarding situation, and despite everything he’s been through, he’s a small, sweet little guy with a gentle heart. Boston is a sensitive pup who startles at tall people and fast movements, so kids 12 and up will be the best fit for him. His dog test is pending, and we’ll update his profile once that’s complete. When he arrived, he met one of our free‑roaming cats and wagged his tail, so he may do well with calm, friendly cats. When meeting Boston, it’s best to sit on the ground and let him come to you. Giving him that choice helps him feel safe and confident, and once he decides you’re okay, his sweetness really shines through. He’s a very gentle boy who just needs someone patient and kind — someone who can help him adjust to a world that still feels a little scary. With time, love, and a quiet home, Boston will blossom into the trusting, affectionate companion he’s meant to be. Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1 Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _ When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive!

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.
