Anyone looking for a friend, a companion, someone to go for a walk with every day and enjoy unconditional doggy love, as long as they can afford it should adopt a mongrel dog. Whether it is from a protector or from the street, this is an animal that will be eternally grateful to you.
Now if you're still thinking about it, Here are a few reasons to adopt a mongrel dog.
What is a mongrel dog?
The mestizo or creole dog is one whose parents are of a different breed. Their health is generally better than that of a purebred dog, since by having a mixture of genes, their immune system has a better ability to defend the body from microorganisms that cause disease, such as viruses.
But in addition, this genetic wealth means that the life expectancy of this animal is usually longer. In fact, the normal thing is that it reaches -or exceeds- 20 years if it is small, or that it reaches -or exceeds- 13 years if it is large.
Why adopt it?
There are several reasons, such as:
It is unique and unrepeatable
The purebred dog is an animal that has been raised following a pre-established standard, and therefore has specific characteristics. Not the mestizo. If you know their parents, you can get an idea of what it will be like, but you can never really be sure until ... well, until it finishes growing 🙂.
Save a life
The animal shelters and shelters are saturated with dogs, and in the streets there are many dogs that live as they can. Thus, when you adopt one you are saving their life, since there are many who die euthanized because they are old, or sick or because they cannot find a family.
You change their world
He will stop living between bars to have a decent life, together with you. You can go for a walk, make friends, enjoy the smells and the attention you receive. In short, it can be a happy animal.
Will give you unconditional love
All dogs, regardless of whether they are purebred or mongrel, are beings capable of giving a lot of affection. However, when one of them has had a hard time at some point in their life, that is, when they have been mistreated or ignored, it is easy that just out of the cage they have so much love to give.
But yes, it is very important to be patient and always be respectful with him. This way you can regain your self-confidence.
You may live many, many years
This is something that we have been anticipating. The mongrel dog is not prone to genetic diseases as it is the race. In addition, their life expectancy is considerably longer than that of those who have been raised according to a standard.
You will not contribute to the sale of animals
If there is no demand there is no business. There are many breeders who all they do is raise puppies, keeping their mothers caged for life, in terrible hygienic-sanitary conditions. When you adopt a mongrel dog, you avoid promoting that type of market, helping animal protection associations.
Will never abandon you
A grateful dog who is being cared for properly is never going to leave your side. But You have to keep in mind that you may need help from a professional who works positively to overcome the traumas of your past; although with time, patience and affection they will be solved. 🙂
