Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. Adoption Fee: 425. Malcolm is a friendly, affectionate 70lb boy. He’s the kind of dog who wins people over instantly with his adorable face, gentle soul, and goofy little habits (like snoring… and insisting he’s a lap dog). Malcolm loves cuddling on the couch, giving the cutest kisses, and tilting his head when he hears funny noises. He’s a big fan of toys and will happily chase a ball when playtime starts. He's potty trained. He walks beautifully on leash and truly enjoys being around people. He's met children and dogs on leash and has seemed comfortable with both. At a distance, he mostly ignores dogs but close up he can get quite excited so slow introductions are needed to ensure comfort on both sides. He is immediately friendly with most strangers he meets, but sometimes needs a few minutes to warm up to new men (ignoring him works well). He would likely not do well with cats in the home. He spent some time with his foster's parents, who are in their 70s, and they said they couldn't get over how gentle he was with them. They said he's perfectly sweet and well mannered - an easy going guy with a great temperament. He doesn't pull on walks and listens well. He loves food but didn't beg when they spit popcorn on the couch while he snuggled next to them. Follow along on IG adopt_malcolmthemagnificent and vindicatedpits to learn about him!

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.
