Description
Posted Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois (short coat). Nettie is a stunning, 1 year old Belgian Malinois that was found running loose and scared. A couple people were able to catch her, and brought her in to the shelter. Unfortunately her owners never came to claim her during her hold. So now she is up for adoption! Nettie quickly became a popular girl here at the shelter, as almost every volunteer seems to be in love with her. She just LOVES to play ball, and even brings it back to you to throw. When her tennis balls get too dirty, she goes over to the water bowls to clean them off. Such a smart girl! Nettie loves her long walks and jogs with the volunteers, and any time they spend cuddling with her in her run. When she first came to the shelter, it was clear Nettie had never been socialized with other dogs. She was fearful of them and would become reactive. Little by little she got better passing dogs on her walks. Eventually she was able to move to an outdoor run that shared a fence with other dogs. Nettie began ding play bows! This was a new side to Nettie we had never seen, in her time here she ended up sort of desensitizing herself to the other dogs. So we loaded her up and dropped her off at board and train for 2 weeks so she could learn how to properly socialize with other dogs! Nettie did AMAZING!! and now she loves to play with other pups! Watching her run around the yard with anywhere from 8 to 12 dogs at training, with the biggest smile on her face, was just the proof that we made the right call in sending her over. Now she is back at the shelter and even has a roommate to spend her days playing with!! Nettie would make a great companion in a single dog home, however, it is clear that she would LOVE to go home with another medium to large sized dog. While she loves people, Nettie is NOT comfortable around children. She is scared of them and reacts negatively. If she were to go home to a family with kids, they would need to be 16 years or older. The shelter would have the final say on if Nettie was comfortable enough to go home to kids of that age as well, after meeting. She is a beautiful girl with stunning coloring. Nettie has done the work and is so ready for her forever home!!! Are you a Malinois lover and looking to come down and meet Nettie? Fill out a short form or full application and somebody will call you to set up an appointment!

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.
