Mullett - Fox Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Mason, Michigan

Mullett and his brother Gulliver came to the shelter after being dumped on the side of the road. They are typical bullies (sweet, snorty, not the brightest but well intentioned!) who are looking for homes where they will be loved for their silly, goofball personalities. We expect that they might worry a bit the first couple of times that their new families leave (being abandoned is pretty traumatic) but once they understand that you'll always come back, they should be just fine. They both like other dogs but are more the hang around together kind of guys. They did play group with a husky who kept running laps and they each decided to sit down and wait for her to finish! If you're looking for a dog to jog with the boys would happily introduce you to their husky friend but they'll be watching from the couch!

The Fox Terrier is a small, energetic, and intelligent breed known for its distinctive appearance, with smooth or wirehaired coat varieties. Fox Terriers are fearless and playful, making them excellent companions for active families. Their history lies in hunting foxes, reflected in their high prey drive and need for mental and physical stimulation. They are loyal and affectionate towards their owners but may show dominance over other dogs. Regular exercise and training are essential for a well balanced Fox Terrier.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
