Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (medium coat). Hi, I'm Herbie! I'm a FIDO Project dog- FIDO stands for Florida Inmates & Dog Obedience. I live inside our local men's prison so they can help me learn a few things that might help me find a home. Each FIDO class gets their own theme- ours is called, `The Fanstastic Fur.` I was found in June tied to a tree near a Dollar General. I was very stressed, and really struggled to adjust to shelter life. The staff tried to help me feel better, but I never could relax and there. They decided that maybe the inmates could work with me and gain my trust. As you might have guessed, it worked. If youâve seen my pictures on Facebook and the MCAS website, then you know I enjoy being close to the men who train me. Theyâve given me their all and I really feel it. I want to make them happy, so I pay attention when they want me to do something. I make great eye-contact. They call it `engagement.` I guess the people who had me before just didn't know what Iâm capable of doing. I hope youâll see my value and know that with some patience, tasty rewards and a bit of focus on me, you'll find I can do even more. If you think you may want to adopt me, please visit marionfl/fido and submit a no-obligation adoption application. Someone from my FIDO team will reach out to you to soon!

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.
