Description
Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). JILLIAN HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 19, 2026. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Jillian was born approximately October 15, 2025 in Oklahoma. She currently weighs 15 lbs. at 12 weeks. We believe she is a Staffordshire Terrier mix. After losing 3 of her siblings to parvo, she found amazing people to help her come to Iowa, hoping for a better life. And she is definitely taking full advantage of it!!! She is a happy, outgoing, confident girl who loves everyone (and everything) she meets! She enjoys following her canine foster siblings around the yard and would enjoy another dog that appreciates her energy and positive outlook on life. She does great in her kennel during the day and sleeps all night in it. She is doing well with potty training when taken outside regularly and is learning to go to the door. Jillian is a typical puppy who wants to put everything in her mouth and can be jumpy when excited. She is working on improving her manners, but a home without little kids would likely be best for now. She also finds great entertainment chasing the foster cat in her home, so a home without cats is needed. Jillian is very smart and is food motivated! She is quickly learning basic commands like come, sit, shake, touch, leave it, drop (lay down) and roll over. She is a busy, active girl who loves chasing balls, playing fetch, tug of war, and squeaky toys. Once she gets some energy out, she enjoys belly rubs, a good chew bone, and a comfy bed. While Jillian doesn't love the Iowa cold and snow, she does love to play outside and do zoomies, so a fenced yard in her new furever home would be ideal. She would love to meet you, and sneak in a kiss or two. If you are interested in meeting Jillian, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

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.
