Description
Dog Breed: Hound (short coat). Although Mitchell arrived as a very shy and underweight stray, he has learned that volunteers and staff at the Campbell County shelter are good, and will bring him goodies, extra food, and even better: time out of the shelter where he can get out, meet his buddy hound friends, and run! We all know hounds need a good amount of time to just exercise, stretch those long legs, and sniff good things, and Mitchell fits right into the pattern. He looks forward to daily visits from the volunteers, and has found a couple of them who are willing to take him for extended visits outside the shelter area, help him learn to hop up into a vehicle, and even socialize in local stores. That is a big deal for a shy hound boy from the backwoods of Campbell County! If you would like to continue helping him with his social development, we’d love to see you apply to to adopt him! You can’t go wrong with a hound! PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfogmail.

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.
