Andy 10 mo old neutered male - FL

Fee: $150

Andy gets along well with the family and other dogs!

Andy is adorable and enthusiastic, and he gets along well with the family and other dogs. He is tall for a malinois and lanky, and he currently weighs 55 pounds. He loves to chase balls, and he loves to swim. He is a quick learner, and is responsive to training. Andy also loves to go for walks, and he walks well on a lead -- but still needs some work walking on streets with cars whizing by.

Andy is a special needs dog and has what we are treating as HOD, a bone condition that is managable.

He is very slow to warm up to new people and can be skittish to the point of fearfulness if pushed too quickly. It takes him quite a while to trust a new person, sometimes several days or even longer. When he is comfortable in his environment, he has boundless energy -- he romps and plays with our 2 year old mal pretty much until the older dog makes it clear he wont play anymore. And then Andy is content to relax and be mellow and happy until the next set of games.

He has not been tested with cats, but he exhibits what appears to be a high prey drive with lizards, butterflies, squirrels, etc. This may just be a desire to meet and play -- we don't know that he has any malice towards these creatures as he has never hurt one. Andy has made a lot of progress since first arriving in his foster home, where he is truly loved, but he still has special needs.

Andy requires a home with someone who has the experience and the extra time to give this wonderful dog a good environment in which he continue to become fully adjusted. In the right home, Andy will continue to develop into a wonderful dog.
