Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?



Rob Roy is an adorable little boy. He is the most reserved of his siblings and a little timid at first. He looks at me as if he's always thinking. He loves to run and play and wrestle with his littermates. He also has short little legs compared to others in the litter. His parents were about 30 lbs. He is cute little dude!

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.
