Porp - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Porp A185494
30 lb. spayed female, approx 7 months old

-Timid gal, but oh so very sweet!
-In the beginning she would take treats and spit them out but as she became more comfortable she started to go back and eat them
-She enjoys being close for pets but it takes her a while to feel comfortable enough to stay put for any length of time
-After a while she relaxed enough and started leaning in for pets
-She then found a couple toys and started playing! She'll be fine once she's out of this scary place!
-She's gaining more confidence walking on leash as each day goes by!
-Will need some puppy training. Please keep that in mind if you want a puppy. They require time and patience to be the best that they can be!
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

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.
