Carolk9s Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Belgian Malinios Rescue is quickly becoming overwhelmed with wonderful dogs who need a home! Here is the link to the main page of Malinios Rescue [url]http://www.malinoisrescue.org/home.shtml[/url] Here is Poppy, she is a 3 yr old spayed female located in Central VA. She is UTD on shots, is crate trained, and knows very basic obedience. Poppy likes people and was fine with children, also ok with cats. She is fine with small dogs. [img]http://www.malinoisrescue.org/dogs04/poppy1.jpg[/img] Here is Cay, a 1yr old neutered male located in Arkansas. Cay is a friendly boy who loves to follow his foster mom around, but may appear shy with strangers at first meeting. He loves squeak toys and tennis balls and is learning to retrieve. He loves other dogs and plays well with male and female dogs alike. He is learning to leave cats alone in his foster home, but chased them in fun when he first arrived. He is moderate energy for a young Malinois and very submissive towards people. Cay's only real flaw seems to be that he is a fence jumper. He can clear a 6 ft fence, and will jump out of a fence to go be with his people. He doesn't seem to have an interest in running away, but just doesn't see any reason he should be on one side of a fence and his foster mom or other interesting activities on the other. He will stay in a fence if his foster mom is out in the yard with him.

Abbey seems to warm up to woman faster than to men, she is good with children and loves other dogs. Abbey will alert to strangers yet shows no aggressive behavior. She likes to find a comfortable spot and stay there but she will come looking for company. Abbey is not a lap dog and will need a home with a lot of love and affection. She will need a home willing to continue socializing her and building her confidence. She loves to play outside with other dogs and does well in an outside kennel. Abbey rides well in a car and is crate trained.

When rescued he was only 55 pounds. Geno plays like a young dog - tossing his beloved squeaky toys up in the air and catching them with glee! He also loves tug and fetch. Geno has gained weight and built up his muscles while at his foster home. Geno gets along with all of his foster's dogs but he does like to play roughly with body slams and face mouthing (typical of many malinois). He's a little too interested in the foster home's parrots and we think he should not be placed in a home with small animals or cats. He loves to be with people and when not playing, snuggling on the couch is one of his favorite activities! Geno also enjoys going out for car rides! He rarely barks, but when he does alert and bark it is with authority!! [img]http://www.malinoisrescue.org/dogs04/geno5.jpg[/img] Here is Lucy, a 1.5 yr old spayed female in Illinois Lucy is about 1.5 years old and on the small side, 20.5", 37 lbs. She gets along well with other dogs & enjoys being part of a play group. She is very, very food motivated and has grasped 'sit' & 'down' with treat motivation. I can't tell if she really wants to please or just wants the cookies. She is very shy with strangers, but we're working on that. Her activity level is medium & her drives other than food drive are low to medium, but she has her moments. She has shown some drive for running, jumping (agility-maybe) mostly reward based. She doesn't have a lot of toy or prey drive. She's calm in the house and crate trained. She's up to date on shots, heartworm neg., and spayed. She could be easily ILP'd. She has been around older children and is fine. Her feeling is anyone with a treat can't be all bad. She would also be suitable for first-time Malinois owners because she doesn't show the usual drive and activity levels of Malinois. [img]http://www.malinoisrescue.org/dogs04/lucy3.jpg[/img] There are MANY MANY more lovely Mals looking for their forever homes, if you are interested in finding out more or know someone who might be interested in a Malinois, please visit the rescue pages at [url]http://www.malinoisrescue.org/home.shtml[/url] for more information and photos of other dogs waiting for homes.

DogPaddle Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Arrg! Must resist, can't extend fence this month. Brother's head would explode if I brought another dog home. Lucy and Cay are soooooooo wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperstubbys Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 What beautiful dogs! Love Cay and Lucy! Wish I could help but we are full right now. If there is need for transport with Cay going southward please let me know. I am in SC but will be heading to Lynchburg Va Labor Day weekend and could help if the need arises with transport coming back this way. I know that is a long shot, just wanted to throw it out just in case. Hope they have better luck finding those guys a home. Beautiful dogs!
