Overmire - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Overmire A186399
48 lb. neutered male, approx 3 years old

-He was eager on leash and wanted to run to get outside. He seems to be a potty holder and had to go!
-After he had that out of the way, he wanted to be near me for pets. He is on the calmer side and isn't super needy. He just enjoys being in your presence.
-He really perked up when he got a whiff of my snacks! Initially he wanted to help himself to my treat pouch but listens well. He knows how to "sit" and we are currently working on taking them easier. He's picking it up already! He can also catch them if your aim is good.
-Quick movements over his head make him uneasy so please be cognizant that he will need you to go slow with him
-He gives small kisses
-Not currently playing with toys
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
