Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Terrier / Mixed. At only 7 months old, Emmett has already learned how much happier life is when you have friends by your side. When Emmett first arrived, he was unsure around other dogs after a rough start to life. But after spending time in foster care, joining playgroups, and getting out into the world, this goofy little pittie has completely blossomed. Turns out? Emmett LOVES being part of the group. Emmett has become one of our playgroup superstars and is currently part of a four-dog playgroup made up of dogs much bigger than him. He keeps right up with the crew and takes notes on everything the other dogs do. If one dog starts running, Emmett runs. If one grabs a toy, Emmett grabs one too. He is the ultimate little copycat. He also spent time out on the town with weekend fosters, where he charmed just about everyone he met. He did wonderfully in foster care with other dogs, even when the resident pups were a little less thrilled about having a baby brother around. He happily followed their lead, played with toys nonstop, and soaked up every bit of attention and adventure he could get. During the Dogwood Festival parade, Emmett proudly greeted crowds of people along the route. This sweet, goofy puppy is ready for a home where he can continue building confidence, collecting toys, making friends, and finally getting the happy puppyhood he deserves. Emmett's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful.

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.
