Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed (medium coat). TETRA Came from a home living with other dogs. She's sweet, listens well and has some commands under her belt. She's moderate on the leash, but is learning not to run up and give people a full body hug. She's an attentive girl who enjoys toys. She'd be a blast to teach in basic obedience and Rally. She's not your typical high-drivey type malinois, but more mid range. She's a smart girl who will thrive in a home who capitalizes on this with continued training and mental stimulation in addition to the obvious physical exercise. Tetra currently weighs in at 55lbs. Miss Tetra has tested positive for Heartworm and will need a medical foster or adoptive home where we will cover the cost of her treatment through completion. She will need to be in a calm environment over the next couple months. The shelter is not a place where she can do this so we need to get her in a home environment to start her treatment. All medical is covered under our Emergency Medical Fund. If you are interested in donating, you can contact the shelter at 707-840-9132 or online at .dogrescuers and specify that it is for the shelter's Emergence Medical Fund. If you're interested in meeting Tetra, please visit humboldtgov/2658/Animal-Shelter and fill out an application to be pre-approved to make an appointment.

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.
