Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Honey (A141617) is a 6-year-old heeler x pit mix who weighed over 50 lbs at intake! 03/28/26 This sweet but shy girl is Honey! Miss Honey can be nervous in new situations, so she is looking for a patient and calm home that can help her ease out of her shell. While Honey was said to do well with children in her previous home, it would likely be best for her next home to either have no kids or older kids that know how to respect boundaries since she is so nervous around new people. Honey was said to do well with cats and other dogs. She was surrendered with her BFF Heaven! In general, Honey was described as an affectionate dog who minds well and knows some basic commands, such as sit, lay down and come. If you are interested in meeting Honey, please give us a call! 04/28/26 Honey has been in a foster home and has had a medical workup. She has been a very sweet, happy and relatively low maintenance addition to her foster home! Honey loves to snuggle up on the couch or bed, and she loves to go for car rides! She does have separation behaviors when people are gone for long work shifts (even with a canine buddy present), and would do best in a home with shorter times alone, such as partial days. Honey does have spondylosis in her spine, and she is very sensitive to pressure on her collar. She needs to be walked with a harness, and to encourage her to use stairs instead of jumping into vehicles or onto furniture. While she does like other animals, rambunctious youngsters would not be compatible with her condition. With moderate activity, some weight loss, and joint support supplements, Honey should be able to have a good quality of life. The condition may worsen with time, and her new family is encouraged to keep a careful eye on her and routinely visit their veterinarian! If you'd like to meet this lovely girl, please give the shelter a call!

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.
