Description
Posted Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois (short coat). Meet Argus! Argus entered Bonita Shelter as a stray, and when he wasn't reclaimed, we scooped him up on June 17, 2023 to become a Frosted Face. He is 10 years old and weighs 74 lbs. Argus has some lovely Malinois traits (beauty, brains and alertness) but is also an affectionate and distinguished senior gentleman. Argus is a very sweet and loves being petted and hugged. He enjoys going on our weekly FFF hikes and earns good reviews from volunteers for walking nicely on leash. Argus takes treats ever so gently and does well in a play group with several other large Frosted Faces. Argus lived in a Foster home for three months, which allowed us to learn a lot about him. Here's what we know: *Argus is house-trained. *He knows wait, sit, shake, and lie down commands (especially if there are treats!) *He walks nicely on leash and loves going for walks. *He would enjoy having a dog companion his size or larger in his forever home. *Argus likes playing with toys! *He enjoys being outdoors and would love a home with a yard. *He does not do well with cats. *He can be trusted to be out and about when home alone and overnight. *He could easily be a family dog but probably with older children only. His Foster Mom shares, "Argus is very special. Regardless of what his previous life was like, he has a heart of gold, and anyone would be so lucky to have him. I have so much love for this boy!" Come meet Argus during Open House on Saturday and Sunday 10 AM - 1 PM and see how wonderful he is! We so hope 2024 is the year for Argus to find his forever family and home … he needs it and deserves it!

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.
