Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $200. Maverick is a handsome, 3-year-old pittie blend who is officially ready to find his co-pilot for life! He arrived at the shelter as a local stray alongside his friend, Goose. They both arrived thin, hungry, and in need of some coat conditioning, but Maverick has proven to be a resilient soul. After some much-needed TLC, he has blossomed into a healthy, happy boy whose coat is finally regaining its shine. He has moved past his days of wandering and is now looking for a soft place to land and a family to call his own. True to his name, Maverick has a "cool under pressure" personality. He is easy-going and seems to take every new situation in stride, making him a joy to be around. While we are still getting to know him, he hasn't shown negative behaviors toward other dogs, so we are excited to begin more formal introductions with other potential canine companions soon. We also plan to see how he feels about feline friends in the near future. If you are looking for a steady and sweet companion to join your crew, Maverick will soon be cleared for takeoff! ** Maverick has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, but is awaiting his neuter surgery. This will take place within the next couple of weeks, so we are estimating him to be ready for adoption by 1/30/26. Please submit an online adoption application for Maverick if you're interested in setting up an appointment time to meet 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.
