Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). This dog is currently on our Call to Action List due to attempts to bite staff during a stressful intake - we believe due to high stress/fear. Chance has tolerated handling during his evaluation, and has been assigned a team of volunteer handlers to learn more about him, and work with him on getting out of the kennel. We'd love to find Chance a placement outside of the shelter ASAP where he will be better equipped to build confidence. Update 8/25: Priority increased to Priority 1 due to change in behavior during handling and increase in fear/stress. Today, a volunteer was unable to safely remove him from the kennel due to growling, shaking, and leash avoidance. Staff needed handling tools to leash and help get him out. Once out, he appeared more fearful and hypervigilant with increased sensitivity to touch, flinching, head whipping, vocalizing, stiffening, and muzzle wrinkling.

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.
