Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Shrimp! Shrimp is a 1 year old boy. Don't let his shy and standoffish behavior in the kennel fool you, when he gets outside he's the sweetest boy. The kennel is very stressful for him, so he doesn't always come off great in there but staff and his fosters have reported that he's a very friendly dog outside of the kennel. He loves to go for walks and he's a big foodie. So far, he has been neutral with other dogs. With a little bit of time and patience, he'd be a great family dog. Interested in adopting?

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.
