Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Spec, the pint sized pittie mix! Spec came to the Shelter with his brother Spot. A good Samaritan had been caring for them for a few months after they were left on her property with their mom. Unable to keep them long term â the good sam provided wonderful socialization to get them started off on the right paw and even some initial vaccinations before bringing them to the Shelter to find adoptive homes. At the Shelter, Spec and Spot were fairly nervous so they are in a foster home where it is a bit quieter and less spooky. We are looking for two separate adopters to take them in. The foster reports the following about Spec: âSpec is a total lovebug too and very fun. He loves love, he loves to fetch, he loves toys, and he is always ready to follow you - play and cuddle. He is the boss of the two and makes sure that he gets equal love (if not more) than Spot.â Spec is still perfecting potty training. He sleeps in the crate at night (with the door open). They have met some friends who have come over to visit. Spec has previously been in a home with other dogs and enjoyed their company. A canine play friend in the home may be a fit after a meet ân greet a the Shelter. We do not have any history of Spec with felines or young children. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

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.
