Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Meet Caesar THIS IS A COURTESY POST ONLY. THE SURRENDERING OWNER, NOT A.R.F., IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND FOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF APPLICANTS FOR THIS DOG. Caesar is a 4 year old male Red-nosed Pitbull who weighs in at approximately 50 pounds. His sister, Julia, is available as well. If you are still interested, please read more below. Caesar was abandoned with his sister, Julia, in a park by his human about 1 month ago. After a short stint at the local animal control as a stray, he and his sister were claimed by a very kind person who knew the dogs and gave them a temporary home to keep them safe until they could find their forever home(s). Caesar is a sweet, loving guy who stays very close to his person(s) for a sense of security. He is curious and loves chew toys. He is less out-going than his sister and looks to her for confidence at times. Caesar enjoys children age 10 or older due to the sometimes unpredictable behaviors, movements and vocals of younger children. He has not been exposed to cats and is yet to be tested with other dogs other than his sister. He was housetrained but with the upheaval and uncertainty in his life recently, there have been mishaps. With a routine schedule, he should be reliably trained again quickly. He has not yet shown that he understands commands and needs work on leash-walks. He is eager to please and treat motivated so additional training on these should not be difficult, and this is an opportunity to form a solid bond with his person/people and increase his confidence and your enjoyment! Caesar's sister, Julia, is currently his "go-to" for comfort when they are together but they can be adopted separately. Caesar is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. As with all dogs, he will need to be placed on a heartworm preventative during mosquito weather to keep him healthy. If you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been processed, the owner will contact you to arrange a meeting. The owner will be asking for a donation from adopters of $225 each or $375 for both. Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!

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.
