Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. Meet #MADLoveShrek – Our Reformed Swamp Monster Turned Handsome Heartthrob When Shrek first arrived at MAD, he was a mess—skin and bones, stinky, and without a clue how to “dog.” But look at him now. Thanks to months of love, training, and lots of baths, he’s ditched the ogre life and is ready to find his furever family. The Good Stuff: We’ve learned that counters aren’t buffets (progress!). We now sit nicely for treats and actually enjoy pets. Food is life. Seriously. Which makes training a breeze. Toys? Yes please. Chewing? Only the stuff that’s meant to be chewed. Crate-trained and proud—Shrek eats and sleeps in his crate, no complaints. Low energy and good off switch. Road trips? He’s your copilot. Windows down, ears flapping. He’s a quick learner and a Monkey See, Monkey Do kind of guy. Show him once and he’ll figure it out fast. What You Need to Know: Shrek isn’t for first-time dog owners. He needs a confident, breed-savvy human who understands structure and routine. He’d do great as a solo dog, but we think he’d thrive with a playful canine buddy to wrestle and run with. He loves kids—but older, dog-savvy ones (7+) are best. When excited, he gets a little mouthy in his affection. Speaking of mouthy: Shrek is a classic Malinois. He likes to "talk" with his mouth—gently mouthing arms and hands when happy or playful. He’s working on better impulse control, but sometimes the excitement gets the best of him. (He’s sorry—and trying!) Shrek’s transformation has been nothing short of amazing. He’s still got quirks, but also a huge heart and a goofy spirit. With the right match, he’ll be the most loyal sidekick you could ask for. He is 7yo and located in WI. Ready to give this former ogre his fairytale ending? Apply to meet Shrek today.

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.
