Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250.00. 1 year old (estimated) Neutered male 35lbs Has done well with other dogs at the shelter Did not seem to mind cats at the shelter Has met kids at the shelter Appears potty trained in his kennel Howie is a sweet, cuddly boy who just wants to be close to his people. Treat-motivated and eager to please, he already knows “sit” and loves showing off his manners. He’s a dream on leash; easygoing, polite, and happy to stroll by your side. He’s also a naturally quiet pup, making him the perfect gentle companion. And the best part? Howie has a precious heart-shaped spot on his nose that matches his loving personality. He’s ready to find a cozy home where he can share all his sweetness (and snuggles!). Howie is heartworm positive so he is looking for a foster home while he's undergoing treatment. The cost of treatment is completely covered by the shelter. e adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

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.
