Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Dakota! This cattle dog mixâs favorite activities are playing ball and going for runs at the park. Dakota walks nicely on leash and knows âsitâ, âgoâ, âcome onâ, âletâs goâ, and ânoâ in English and Spanish. She has history of getting along with other dogs that she interacted with in her previous home. At the Shelter, Dakota has coexisted nicely and prefers to sniff around and relax with other dogs versus engaging in play. Any resident dogs in the home should meet prior to adoption. Dakotaâs previous guardians report some protective tendencies in her previous home when strangers would come by. Adopterâs should be mindful that Dakota may begin these behaviors when she enters a home environment and establishes relationships with her new guardians. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
