Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Terrier / Mixed. Meet Jackson – Big Smile, Bigger Heart Jackson is a 5½-year-old red nose Pit Bull Terrier mix with a playful spirit and a whole lot of love to give. He’s the kind of dog who makes fast friends—especially if you come bearing treats! Jackson typically warms up to new people right away and has previously lived successfully with children. He enjoys meeting other dogs and generally does so appropriately. He loves to play, though his style can be a bit rough and tumble, so he’d do best with another confident, sturdy dog who enjoys that kind of fun. While he has seen cats before and hasn’t chased them, he hasn’t lived with one, so slow introductions would be important. Small animals, however, are very tempting to him—he does have a prey drive and has caught birds, squirrels, and rats in the past. Jackson is house trained and knows how to relax at home. He may have some slight separation anxiety, but has done great being left along in his foster home. Jackson has IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) that is well managed with diet and inexpensive medication. Jackson is a sweet, affectionate, fun-loving dog who thrives on attention and engagement. With clear boundaries, enrichment, and an active home that understands his strength and playful personality, he’ll be an incredibly loyal and entertaining companion. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200.

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.
