Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Phenix came into the shelter as an owner surrender, with a younger female housemate dog who has since been adopted. He and the housemate dog were very shy when they first arrived. The enjoyed each other's company quite a bit, and seemed to gain confidence when together. His housemate has since been adopted and Phenix has been enjoying life in a foster home. In foster he is with another dog and a cat. He does very well with the other dog, and has generally ignored the cat. We always recommend slow introductions to resident pets, and we feel that Phenix would very much enjoy having a canine companion in his adoptive home. Phenix is a shy, sensitive boy. He is generally well behaved and a master of sit and shake. He is fearful of new and loud noises, and can be avoidant of going outside when there is a lot of ambient noise (road construction, etc). If you would like to meet Phenix please contact the shelter so we can arrange a meeting!

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.
