Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). LEANA - 7-8 years old, 40 pounds, nervous in the shelter. After arriving at VBACAC as a stray Leana was in rather rough shape. After some much needed TLC, she is doing well. Leana has grey and white fur with dark spots all over the grey part. She has a tilt in her head with unknown origins and some worn teeth indicating she's not a young pup but also not a senior. Leana is a bit on the thin side but overall healthy and happy. She is now spayed as well. Yay! She is very reactive to the other dogs around her in the shelter so it might be best Leana be an only pet. If we learn otherwise, we will update this bio. Leana was friendly and easy to handle when outside of the kennel and away from other dogs. She defaults to a really nice SIT and her paw comes up almost immediately. She's def used to giving her paw for a treat or two, which she loves. Leana is still getting used to the shelter environment. When she enters a new home, she might also need some time getting used to a new home, family and routine. Give her time and attention and you'll surely see a loving and fun girl who just wants to be at your side. We are open daily 12-5 pm. Leana is currently in our medium dog adoption kennel. Come on in and meet her!

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.
