Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at .emmetcountyanimalshelter*** This sweet older gentleman is Steeler. He found himself in a kill shelter with 2 other dogs that he had lived with after their owner had been incarcerated. The shelter was asking for assistance in moving dogs out and everyone had been chosen except for Steeler. Seeing this older guy in a shelter for so many months and then facing euthanasia because there's just not enough homes and too many dogs just hurt our hearts. So Steeler had the journey into our foster care and now he is hoping for the journey to end with an adoption into a home of his very own. He is a sweet gentle boy that would love to go on a walk, take a nap or watch a movie with you. He can hang out with other dogs but he's also good just chillin on his own. Steeler is a little too excited around the felines so a home with out cats is ideal. He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.00 and he would love nothing more than to hang out with you.

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.
