BEHAVIORAL:



Per staff on 6/28:

"I went to say hello to Ban, and he was very sweet & excited to see me. He gave a few low tail wags and walked slowly up to the front of his kennel. He allowed me to pet him all over, and especially leaned into head rubs. He seemed like he wanted to come up and interact more when I was leaving. Really sweet pup!"

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
