Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Adoption Fee: 200.00. Darry and siblings were transferred to Valley Humane on 3/11 from Stockton Animal Services. They had been found stray. Darry weighs 8.8 pounds. This dog has been diagnosed with demodicosis. Demodicosis is a skin condition caused by a mite that lives in the hair follicles of all dogs, but under certain conditions - if the dog is immature, underweight, on a poor diet and stressed, the numbers of mites in the hair follicles increase, causing the fur to fall out in patches. Demodex is not contagious to other animals or to people. She has been treated for this skin condition while at VHS and has improved before being made available for adoption. This dog is due for her final treatment on 3/31/26 which will be provided to the adopting family if adopted prior to this date. It is recommended that the adopting family shares this history with their family veterinarian. Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?

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.
