Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. Athena is a super sweet pup that was just transferred into MAD late June. She is very friendly, curious and calm (for a Malinois, lol) in the house but is starting to show off her "zoomies" outside. She is good with dogs but a little nervous until she gets to know them a bit; and seems to be very neutral around cats. Within just days in her foster home she is following her foster around the house and even walks her out to the car and adores affection! Good with kids and dogs, Athena has been learning the ropes of family life and shows a nurturing awareness of her family members. When her foster's son was hurt, Athen would not leave his side She does flinch a little when a hand is reached over her head, but this reaction is quickly dissipating as she is shown gentle, kind interactions. And she loves to give "drive by" licks as she passes her people! We found out that Athena is low HW positive and she has started her treatment. This will take 3-4 months and is almost always highly effective, with no long term health issues. More to come soon on this precious beauty. *********************************************** To apply to adopt, please fill out the application by clicking on the Adopt button or ask for this dog to be added to your existing application.

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.
