Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. Aoife (pronounced EE-fa) is a 1.5-year-old, 50-pound pit bull mix who loves being close to her people. She’s a calm, affectionate girl who loves cuddles and gentle companionship. While she may be a little shy at first, once she settles in, her sweet and loving personality truly shines. Aoife is house-trained and crate-trained, staying in her crate for a few hours at a time. She is usually pretty quiet and makes for an excellent roommate. She makes the cutest little pig-like snorts when she eats or sniffs around, and she occasionally gets the zoomies. She's got some puppy-like behaviors that will benefit from continued gentle training. She doesn't have a lot of experience with other dogs, but she seems curious and social when making friends. She doesn't seem very interested in cats. She may need proper introductions with children due to her jumpiness though she is not aggressive. Despite her young age, Aoife has a refreshingly low-key energy level. She enjoys leisurely walks where she can sniff to her heart’s content and doesn’t require intense exercise. She walks nicely on leash and is easy to redirect if she gets a little curious. At home, she’s a fan of enrichment toys like Kongs, lick mats, and puzzle feeders, anything involving snacks is a win! Aoife is looking for a calm environment where she can feel safe and continue to blossom. She’d especially love a home where people are around often to help ease any lingering anxiety. If you’re looking for a gentle, slightly silly best friend who will adore you endlessly (and make you smile with her little piggy noises), Aoife might just be your perfect match. If you are interested in Aoife, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration).

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.
