Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Link! Link is a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois who is looking for someone special who is willing to give him the time and patience he needs to feel comfortable. The shelter environment can be overwhelming for Link, and he can be scared and frightened when heâs feeling unsure. He would do best in a calm, quiet, and relaxed home where he can decompress, settle in, and learn that he is safe. Soft voices and a little patience will go a long way with Link. And if you happen to have some high-value treats, even better! Treats are a great way to help Link build positive associations and begin to trust his new person. Link isnât looking for someone to rush him. Heâs looking for someone who will meet him where he is, give him time to warm up, and let their relationship grow at his pace. If youâre willing to give Link the patience and understanding he needs, you could be the person who helps him come out of his shell and discover just how good life can be. Come meet Link at our Santa Maria Shelter and give him the chance to find his forever home.

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.
