Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Preston, a true survivor with a heart as big as his smile. After being hit by a car and spending weeks fending for himself, this brave boy was finally rescued. The accident cost him his right rear leg—but it never took away his joy for life. As a proud tripod, Preston proves every day that resilience and love go hand in hand. Preston is an affectionate, loyal dog who forms a deep bond with his person. He thrives on connection and will happily become your constant companion—whether that’s lounging by your side or following you from room to room. He also loves being around other dogs in structured social settings like daycare, where he’s playful, happy, and engaged but he would do best in a home as an only dog where he can get all the attention. Watching him run around and have fun, you’d never guess he’s missing a leg! In the home, Preston can be a little more sensitive as he settles in. He may become strongly attached to his person and can be vocal or protective in new environments. Because of this, he’ll do best with a confident adopter who can provide structure, set clear boundaries, and help him continue building his confidence. Preston is still decompressing in his foster home, and we’re continuing to learn more about him every day. What we do know is that he is incredibly loving, smart, and eager to connect—he just needs the right person to guide him. His ideal home would be: • Able to provide structure and consistency • Committed to helping him feel secure as he adjusts • Potentially with other dogs, with proper introductions and leadership Preston may only have three legs, but he has a lifetime of love to give. With the right match, he is going to be an incredibly devoted and rewarding companion. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines—and ready to find the person who sees just how special he truly is. His adoption donation is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION!

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.
