Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). For those who don't remember our beautiful boxy girl: Elena was adopted from our shelter only to be returned to us TWO YEARS LATER for not getting along with the resident dog anymore and for being protective of the home when visitors came over. She returned completely heartbroken and traumatized. Fortunately, her foster mom from 2 years ago took it upon herself to take Elena back into foster so she wouldn't have to break down further from shelter stress. It took some time to get the old Elena back but with patience, structure, and love she has learned to trust again. Beneath her serious face is an affectionate, emotionally sensitive girl who wants nothing more than to curl up beside you, play fetch in the yard, and quietly keep you company. Elena is potty trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, and has completed a professional 3-week board & train session that helped build her confidence and social skills. She knows basic commands, walks nicely on leash, and is very responsive to guidance from her handler. This 6-year-old bully mix is looking for an adults-only home where she can be the spoiled only pet. She thrives with structure and deserves someone willing to continue setting her up for success. In return, you'll get a loyal companion who loves hard and will happily snort around the yard looking for her favorite ball before climbing into your lap for cuddles. Fresh off the heels of her board & train session, Elena is perfectly primed to transition into a wonderful forever home. Could that home be yours? Email adoptyoloshelter to set up a showing with Elena. Elena is currently fostered in Davis, CA.

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.
