Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). ENGLA - 3 years old, 60 pounds, nervous in shelter but warms up quickly outside. Engla arrived at VBACAC as a stray with a canine companion. They have both been very nervous inside the shelter but are starting to warm up to staff and volunteers. Engla has a microchip so someone was mindful about making sure their pup would be safe if ever lost but, alas, here we are looking for a new home. Engla has pure dark grey fur all over except for her muzzle up between her eyes, her chest, paws and tip of her tail! She smiles when she's outside. She smiles when she has the ability to run around and investigate. She smiles when you give her treats. Engla stopped, dropped and rolled on the grass, even allowing me to rub her belly. She didn't play much but that's to be expected many times with our newer residents who are not yet comfortable with the shelter environment. Although Engla arrived with another dog, we do not know if she is dog friendly so we will update when we learn more about her. Until then, she is hanging in a back kennel so if you come in and don't see her, please just ask!

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.
