Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Carmello, the medium sized terrier mix. Carmello came to the Shelter after his previous guardian was unable to continue caring for him due to unstable housing. He has a history of being a bit reserved with new people but warms up. He has been around children of all ages and did well. Carmello has history living with a cat and another dog who is a bit bigger. Carmello has met dogs at the Shelter and prefers to do a sniff greeting, then move away to do his own thing. A home with another dog may be a fit provided there is a meet and greet at the Shelter prior to adoption. It seems a more mellow canine personality would be a match for Carmello. Carmello is still perfecting potty training and will need an adopter that is patient with him in the transition while he learns. Carmello was described as friendly, loves car rides, baths and treats ! 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! Now through February 15th, all adoption fees are reduced to $33 - come to the Shelter today to adopt your very own Valentine! 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.
