Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. Meet Venus! This gorgeous Belgian Malinois isn’t your typical “Velcro dog,” but don’t be fooled—she absolutely enjoys being around her humans (especially if they come with a Chuckit ball in hand!). Venus has the perfect mix of fun and chill. She lives for her Chuckit balls (sponsorship, anyone?), and although she hasn’t destroyed one yet, she’s definitely stashed a few under the couch. Tug-of-war? Nope—her favorite game is stealing toys from her brother and hoarding them on her bed like treasure. When she’s not busy bossing her toys around or splashing in the pool (baths, not so much), she’s likely curled up inside catching some serious ZZZs—her second favorite hobby in life. Outdoor time is great, but a cozy nap inside? Even better. Venus is learning the ropes of house life beautifully. She’s picking up on polite door manners (no rushing!), sits nicely, and is starting to practice waiting for a release before going in or out. She’s not overly destructive, though she has claimed one small corner of the couch—fair trade for all the love she gives, right? She walks well on leash, is getting started with formal manners training, and has shown she’s eager to learn. Thunder and fireworks? She’ll bark back but isn’t scared. New dog friends? She just needs a proper intro and she’s golden. She even adores the cat—though he’s more into solo parkour than playdates. Her biggest current challenge is being alone in a crate—it causes some anxious (and loud!) protest. No destruction, just dramatic monologues. With time and patience, she’ll learn she’s safe and secure. Venus has a lot of potential, a heart full of spunk, and a nose made for adventure. If you’re ready to give her purpose with some fun jogs, sniffy walks, or nose work—she’s ready to be your loyal companion. Chuckit balls, cuddles, and quiet naps included. ‍Cosmic Welcome‍ Introducing #Madlovevenus and #madlovemars both located in Texas These stellar siblings made their way to the shelter this week and the MAD pack came together to bring them to the rescue!

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.
