Parson Russell Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

03/22/26 15:38 Once advised of the 4:00 pick-up time after surgery, Mrs. Michaels was unsure if her husband would be able to come to the shelter today to meet him. She wants him to meet Scrappy before finalizing the adoption. She stated he said if the kids are ok with the dog then so is he, but she wants him to meet Scrappy. She asked if the surgery date could be moved. John became involved and discussed the situation with Mrs. Michaels and agreed to talk to the medical team to determine if the surgery could be moved to Wednesday. Dr. Bunke agreed to switch Scrappy with another dog scheduled for surgery Wednesday. Mrs. Michaels was advised of the change, agreed to the Wednesday pick-up date and was very appreciative. PS

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.

The Parson Russell Terrier is a spirited and intelligent breed known for their energetic nature and strong hunting instincts. These small to medium sized dogs have a compact, athletic build with a wiry coat that can be either smooth or rough. They are highly active and require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. With their playful demeanor and friendly personality, Parson Russell Terriers make loyal companions for active families who can provide them with the attention and exercise they need.
