Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Rowan (A566283) is a 3yo, 55lbs, brown merle pitbull terrier mix. Rowan came to the shelter as a stray on January 5th, 2026. 24Petconnect/DetailsMain/PGEO/A566283 I hadnât planned on walking Rowan, but happened to turn around and see his sweet face, so calm in his kennel, and couldnât help but give him the walk he turned out to need so much. I donât like to promise that a dog is house trained, but any time they have a clean kennel and they go potty not one, not two but FIVE times when we are out on a walk, I would put money on them having previous house training. You see dogs whoâve been house trained often hold it as long as they can possibly hold it, and then when they do get a walk they try to get it all out because they donât know when theyâll get to go out again. Rowan was easy on the leash, unbothered by the other barking dogs in their kennels when we walked past. He is a little low rider who has bright eyes and who gave me very sweet kisses and leaned against me with his little body when I crouched down to his level. Rowan has previously attended playgroup but got in an altercation when notes indicate âhe doesnât like other dogs in his spaceâ. Based on that experience, I donât think heâd do well at a dog park or in a multi-dog household. Iâm not sure how he would do with a similarly matched canine companion when properly introduced as I didnât have any chance to observe him with other dogs. I hope that Rowan finds a placement with a great family, one who will take him outside to go potty regularly and who will allow him to lean against them and snuggle when he wants to seek comfort. Want to meet this handsome boy? Go meet Rowan at: Prince Georgeâs County Animal Shelter 3750 Brown Station Rd Upper Marlboro, MD Tues-Fri 11am-7pm, Sat 10am-4pm Closed Sunday and Monday

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.
