Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Meet Ashley, a 29-pound package of curiosity, confidence, and adventure. Ashley arrived as a stray on July 7, and we recently gave this petite girl a much-needed break from the shelter with a Dog Day Out. First stop? The car, where Ashley is a total pro. She settles in, doesnât make a sound, and is ready to roll. At the park, we quickly discovered that Ashley is confident, curious, and pretty independent. A noisy metal bridge? No problem. Water? She dipped her toes in almost immediately, then moved on to climbing rocks and swimming. At times, it felt like her handler was the only thing standing between Ashley and her next adventure, mostly because the leash wasn't quite long enough. Ashley spent her outing sniffing, exploring, and following whatever caught her attention. And there was always something catching her attention. A floating leaf? Bubbles in the brook? A mysterious noise? An animal? Bigfoot? ?? Only Ashley knows. She calmly passed people walking, rollerblading, and even a pack of six dogs, not all of whom were leashed. Her handler was much more focused on keeping everyone safe than getting footage of that particular encounter. Ashley knows sit, takes treats gently, and her playgroup notes describe her as âsocial and friendly, kept to self, semi tolerant.â She's also working on gaining some weight and has already gained two pounds since arriving. We brought her meal along and turned it into a little rice bowl picnic before heading back to the shelter. After her adventure, Ashley got a bath, a nail trim and ear cleaning she handled like a pro, and dinner outside in the fresh air. Petite? Yes. Curious? Absolutely. Adventurous? Without a doubt. Lap-sized? Definitely. ?? Ashley is ready for someone who will let her explore, follow her curiosity, and enjoy life by her side.

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.
