Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat). Meet Brutus, a 14 week old Australian Cattle Dog. He came to us from his previous family after his puppy energy and excitement was thought better served in a new home. His previous family observed that he was friendly with people and dogs while out in the world, and here at the shelter Brutus met another small, playful dog and enjoyed playing alongside her. Staff have observed that Brutus is already picking up leash-training, but will still need gentle guidance in his new home on basic puppy life skills. Brutus is a herding breed, and has their characteristic high-energy and occasional mouthiness that they were bred for. 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.
