Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Meet Joplin! Joplin is a Wirehaired Terrier mix with a little rock ’n’ roll spirit and a whole lot of love to give. Joplin came into rescue with her brother, Hendrix. Like any typical brother and sister, these two have a bit of a love-hate relationship! They are not bonded and can be adopted separately, which Joplin may actually prefer sometimes. Joplin can be shy when she first meets someone, but once she feels comfortable, she really comes out of her shell. She is incredibly sweet and loves being close to her person. She’s definitely a bit of a Velcro girl and will happily follow you around, come over for pets, and soak up all the attention she can get. She is also becoming more confident and learning that she can be a little more independent. Joplin seems to have spent quite a bit of her life outdoors, but she is quickly learning that the indoor life is pretty great! Give her a comfy bed (and by comfy, she means a human bed ) and she is perfectly happy to stretch out, roll over, and offer up her belly for some serious belly rubs. Walking on leash is still fairly new to Joplin, but she is doing well and continues to improve. Potty training is also a work in progress. She is crate trained and would likely do best being crated when left home alone during the day. Joplin has met several dogs in her foster home and does well with them. She is not bonded to Hendrix and would be perfectly happy finding a home of her own. Because Joplin is athletic and can likely clear a standard-height fence, her adopters will need to be mindful of that and provide appropriate supervision and containment. She may start out a little shy, but give this girl a little time and she will show you just how sweet she really is. Joplin is ready for a soft bed, a safe home, plenty of belly rubs, and a person of her very own. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this baby, please fill out an application.

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.
