Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Xena (A139572) is a 2-year-old pit mix who weighed almost 50 lbs at intake! 01/02/26 This sassy little lady is Xena! Xena arrived back at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for her new place to call home! While at the shelter this go around, she has been very spirited and quite the talker. Xena is always eager to greet the staff, but still lacks some basic manners. We encourage her next owner to bring her to a basic obedience class to continue working on her manners. She has also had a few accidents in her kennel, so she may need some continued reminders with potty training as she settles into her new home and routine. It was previously noted that she did well with cats and dogs in her foster home back in September, but that she was a little pushy with the other dog. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with new animals. If you are interested in meeting Xena, please let us know! 09/18/25 This adorable young lady is Xena! Xena arrived at the shelter with her litter of eight puppies when they were just 6-weeks-old. She has spent the last couple weeks in foster with them and is now ready to spread her wings and live her own life! While in foster, Xena was said to have done well with the cats and the other dogs. However, Xena would sometimes get a little bossy towards the other dogs, which is a little rude since it was his house. Xena does not have very good doggy manners. She comes off very strong, and is not good at reading the room. She actually gets very excited about seeing other dogs, so excited that she barks with her hackles up. When she actually gets to meet them, she can be very `in your face.` It will be most important to do slow introductions with miss Xena. If she were a human, she would be yelling `Hey! Hey, you!` from afar and then hugging you and kissing your cheeks once you were closer. It's a little much. She was said to do well with potty training for the most part, but did have a few accidents, so she may need some reminders. Xena was described as a very playful girl, who loved the kids in her foster home as well! If you are interested in meeting this young lady, please give the shelter a call!

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.
