Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Gumbo is a sweet, silly, and snuggly young guy who's been serving up a hearty portion of love ever since he arrived. He's wagged his tail through every interaction (including the vet team during his intake exam!), and already received this glowing review from a volunteer: "Gumbo is extremely curious and playful. He takes regular cuddle breaks and has the most convincing puppy eyes I've ever seen."

We unfortunately don't know Gumbo's history since he was found as a stray, but estimate he's around ~9 months old and can already tell he's going to be an incredible companion. The secret ingredient your family's been missing!

Life is better with a little bit of Gumbo in your bowl, and please submit your application and email adoptions@phillypaws.org to stir up some love!

This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.

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.
