Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Hi there everyone! My name is Zach, I came to the Olive Branch as a stray. When I was found I had a heavy broken chain attached at my collar and at only 35 pounds, I was severely malnourished. I was taken in and then the kind staff took me to the vet to be evaluated immediately. Doc discovered that I was severely anemic, and I had several bite wounds, but I have come a long way since that first day I have arrived here. When I returned, I was placed on a special diet and being fed small meals throughout the day to get the amount I needed at a slow rate. The kind staff have helped me get back to a happy healthy dog again! I have been neutered, fully vaccinated, and my preventatives are current. I did test positive for Lyme disease and have been treated with a 30-day cycle of Doxycycline. I am a little shy of strangers at first, but food and treats win me over every time. I would like to meet anyone in your home before you adopt me. If interested, please visit our website and fill out an application to bring me home!

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.
