Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Tervuren / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Heidi, the 2 year old shepherd mix. This beautiful and fluffy girl was found in the woods with her 12(!) puppies and was quickly brought to us. For weeks she has been such a good mom and has been making sure all her puppies are happy and healthy. Now itâs her turn to be taken care of! Heidi is such a sweetheart who loves attention and treats. She can be slightly wary of some new people at first, but after a little introduction time, she is really people oriented and eager to please. She is less interested in dogs, but is polite around them. She'll need a loving home that can provide her with all the attention she wants and needs while introducing her to life and home skills slowly and with positive reinforcement training. Heidi would love to find her furever family and we know she will love them as much as she has loved her puppies and all of our staff. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will steal your heart, and who would love an opportunity to be a bit of a puppy herself for a bit, come meet Heidi! Heidi is available for preadoptionâcome meet her, fall in love, and take her home after her spay surgery! The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering âPawsitivity Bucksâ with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

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.
