Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Hi, I’m Gordon! I came to the shelter with my 11 siblings (yes… all 11 of them!), and we were all black-and-white spotted like little Holstein cows. We arrived when we were just 6 weeks old, and now my brother Proctor and I are the last two still waiting—almost 7 months old and hoping our turn is coming soon. Growing up in a shelter hasn’t been easy, but it hasn’t stopped me from being a great pup. I walk nicely on a leash, know how to sit, and get along wonderfully with other animals and kids. I’m the perfect mix of calm and playful, and all I really want is love, affection, and a place to finally call home. If you're interested in adopting one, please fill out an adoption application online at .polkcountyhumanesociety/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve an appointment time. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure the puppy will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! #adoptdontshop

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.
