Mixed Breed
Mixed breed dogs, also known as mutts or mongrels, are dogs with ancestry from two or more breeds. They often benefit from hybrid vigor, which can result in fewer genetic health issues, and they come in an incredible diversity of sizes, shapes, and temperaments.

About the breed
Mixed Breed characteristics.
The Mixed Breed is a popular breed. Like all dogs, individual Mixed Breed personalities can vary — rescue dogs especially may have unique temperaments shaped by their prior experiences. Getting to know a dog before adopting is always recommended.
The Mixed Breed typically adapts well to a variety of living situations when given adequate exercise and mental stimulation.
Rescue Mixed Breed dogs may need extra patience during the settling-in period. Many shelters provide behavioural assessments and can advise on whether a specific dog is suited to your household.
Adoption guide
What to expect when adopting a Mixed Breed.
Adopting a Mixed Breed from a rescue shelter gives a deserving animal a second chance at happiness. Shelters across Europe care for thousands of dogs, and every adoption makes room for another animal in need.
The adoption process
Most European shelters follow a structured adoption process: an initial application, a meet-and-greet with the animal, a home check (in some countries), and finally the adoption contract.
Health and veterinary care
Reputable shelters vaccinate, microchip, and neuter or spay animals before rehoming. Adoption fees typically cover these veterinary costs.
Settling in at home
The first few weeks are an adjustment period. A quiet space, consistent routine, and patience go a long way. Many rescue dogs blossom within weeks once they feel safe and loved.
Adopting from another country
Cross-border adoption within Europe is common. Your Mixed Breed will need an EU pet passport, a valid rabies vaccination, and a microchip. Check our dog import guides for country-specific requirements.
Why adopt
Why adopt a Mixed Breed?
Many people are surprised to find purebred and pedigree animals in rescue shelters. Mixed Breed dogsend up in shelters for many reasons — changes in owner circumstances, allergies, moving abroad, or simply being found as strays. None of these reasons reflect on the animal's character.
By choosing to adopt rather than buy, you help reduce demand for commercial breeding, give an animal a loving home, and support the vital work that rescue shelters do across Europe.
