Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (long coat). Forever home wanted, meet Wasabi. While in rescue we never want to dwell on the sad past an animal endured, it is important to understand what Wasabi and his siblings, Habanero, Serrano and Hatch, went through prior to coming into the rescue June 17th. It is an awakening for us to have a plan for our pets in the event of our untimely passing. Wasabi and his siblings had an owner, an owner that loved and cared for them very much. There were 6 when they were surrendered to the shelter on May 16th after their owner passed away. Within a short period of time, one would be found deceased in his kennel and a few days later, another. While we wanted to help, we did not have foster homes to take them in. Then the inevitable happened, the four siblings were put on the euthanasia list for 6/17. The desperate search became more desperate. Luckily, we were able to secure fosters for three of the four so we facilitated their exit, with one going to boarding while we seek a foster or adopter. While they understandably appeared fearful in the overcrowded, overwhelming shelter with their lives turned upside down, they appear to be adjusting nicely in their foster homes. As we get to know them more, the bios will be updated to share more about their personalities. If Wasabi sounds like a dog you would like to meet, please head over to labradorsandfriends to fill out an application. Wasabi is located in Southern California.

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.
