Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Mason, the male Belgian Malinois. Mason arrived to the Shelter as a stray so we donât have information about his life before the Shelter. A good Samaritan called stating that there was a stray dog confined to their yard. Our animal control staff went out to the yard and saw Mason scaling a fence and coming into her direction. Safely at the Shelter, Mason has been social and easy going. Staff are managing his wanderlust by having him on leash when out of his kennel. As a Malinois, he is an athletic, agile dog who can easily scale fences. Adopters should not plan to leave Mason unattended outdoors to prevent him from going and finding fun elsewhere. Harnessing his power for good such as engaging in dog sports like agility will help to channel Masonâs energy into an activity. Mason has met a variety of dogs (different sexes and sizes) at the Shelter and has been interested in playing. A resident dog in the home may be a fit after a meet ân greet at the Shelter. We do not have history of Mason in a home with felines or children. Mason would make a great companion for an active adopter. Could it be you? Mason is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after his neuter 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.
