Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Nacho and Taco are siblings. We do not require (or recommend they should) be adopted together. But they do love to play together! If both sets of owners are interested, we are happy to share contact information between the families so you can make connections for play dates or other meet ups! My name is Taco and I am a black & white pit bull/mix. I am a spayed female and I am 6 years and 5 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 12/15/2025 because my owner could not take care of me anymore. I am potty trained. I am a high energy dog and I will need an owner with some prior pet owning experience. I am still learning to walk nicely on a leash. There are lots of things you can do to get me to walk comfortably and safely on a leash. The staff can tell you all about it! I would do well with simple obedience training to help us bond and for us to learn how to communicate with each other. I would like a standard height fence to help keep me inside the yard. I can be good with men, women, and children. I have not been tested with other dogs at the shelter besides my brother, Nacho. The shelter staff have not tested me with cats, but recommend against me living with cats based on my lack of experience around cats.

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.
