Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. BIO Welcome to MAD Kimiko! Kioko arrived at the shelter in late August after being found as a stray with a host of medical concerns. Most urgently, her back leg had been torn off, sadly for a while as healing and scabbing had already happened. At just 40 pounds the dog who arrived at the shelter was emaciated, heartworm positive and missing her lower leg. Even with the horrible pain he was in, she allowed pets and was patient with the humans trying to help her She was quickly taken to another facility who was able to amputate her leg. While recovering, she unfortunately came down with CIRD and her plate kept filling. Maintaining her sweet demeanor, Kimiko was growing tired of being overlooked and the shelter decided to find a rescue who handles mals. Enter MAD! We are honored to be trusted with her ongoing care and recovery! She is still working on safely putting on weight, and she is heartworm positive. Over the coming months, her team will work on making sure the recovery she deserves is delivered

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.
