Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. We found Penny on the side of the highway in early July, hiding under the car railing on a highway overpass. She was very scared, dehydrated, and her paws were bleeding from blisters from the hot pavement. Over the past month we've been watching after her and getting her ready for her forever home! She's a very sweet dog, food-motivated, and eager to be trained. We've started on some basic training with her, including leash walking. She is definitely a skittish dog when meeting people for the first time, but she's getting much more comfortable over time. She's pretty chasey with our two cats, and mostly good with our five-year-old large dog but definitely resource guards food/water/toys. She would probably do best in a home without other animals and with someone who has experience training reactive dogs. She has her initial vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper (2x)), tested negative for worms, and we got her spayed. The vet estimated that she's about 7 months old. **** Breed: Malinois Mix **** Pet Link: .nokillnetwork/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2186814&flag=1

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.
