Belgian Malinois in Need of a Foster Home

The following dogs are waiting to be placed in an ABMC approved foster home so that vetting can be done and we have the time to evaluate them for approriate placement.

What is most urgently needed?? We need FOSTER HOMES of course. As for donations, The BEST idea is to donate gift cards to Pet Smart. Our foster homes could use some help with food but food is too expensive to ship.

Please send donations to:

The shelter will hold her until next week so we can get her to a foster home.  The boss there is a fan of mals, especially nice ones, which this girlie is.  Told them we need at least another week, and they have no problem with that.  They did go ahead and worm her with pyrantel too! Bonnie is heartworm negative.

Our volunteer really likes her, and she deserves a good home.  Her issues are few, and some basic training is all she'll need, barring some unforeseen issues.  no cats for sure!  Don't have access to kids so we are not sure on that front, but otherwise she's a cutie.  Bonnie is approximately 6 years old and has good drives. She did respond to some German commands, and appears to have had obedience. training of some sort.  She's not one to jump on people, but will do a *fabulous* front sit with eye contact if you just pat your leg.  She offered that to everybody at the vets office that spoke to her, too. Contact Sara : flynnkramer@aol.com or Kay : malnwa@comcast.net as soon as possible.

Hagen is a three year old neutered Belgian Malinois. Originally rescued at 10 months of age, Hagen is seeking a new adoptive family (or foster family) without other small pets. Hagen is friendly, obedient, and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down. He loves to play ball and is very affectionate with his owners. He is friendly with new people when his owners are present, but is a good guard dog when they are not. Hagen has been an outdoor dog and is very high energy.

A good foster or adoptive home for him would be one with a yard and a family who has plenty of love to give and receive. Hagen would do well with another large dog but should not be placed with a family that has small dogs, cats, or other small pets due to his high energy and prey drive. He is friendly with children but should be monitored with small children, again due to his high energy and physical nature.

Please contact Sara as soon as possible as this will soon become an emergency situation as his owners are not able to hold him much longer. Email: flynnkramer@aol.com . URGENT

Mingo (approximately 2 years old) is a leaner, leaning it to get his pets and belly rubs. Taken in as a stray he was attacked at the rescuers house by a pitbull. Mingo has a shaved head, ears, side, and parts of his legs due to the attack.

He is now at a shelter where he hangs out with the shelter staff (who all love him). He is thin and has a broken ear. He is of average height, not too small, not too tall, maybe 23" and 45 to 50 pounds. He knows sit, down, stay and appears to be house trained. Already neutered, now what he needs is a loving foster home to lead him onto his second chance at a happy life.

Please consider helping Mingo in his adventure! Contact Marcia : mhcil@aol.com as soon as possible. He is at a very small shelter and we do not know how long they will hold him for us.

Owner recently passed away. 10 year old male who stayed by her bed as Hospice came in to care for her. Female is shy and has not been away from the farm much. The first one is of both of them, Justice in foreground and Rainy in back.  Second is Rainy. Third is Justice and forth is Rainy.
 
I think that Rainy is 12 and Justice is 10 years old.  I know that both of them were rescues.  Rainy is very loving when he gets to know you, has arthritis in one of his back legs.  We have been giving him Chondroitin which seems to help him but he can be somewhat stiff when he gets up.  Justice is a little skittish but will warm up to you once she trusts you.  She is on Thyroid and seizure medicine which she has been responding to quite well to.  We are hoping for them to stay together since they have been best buddys and have been together for most of their lives.  Currently they have total access to the outdoors via a doggy door to a fenced in area.  Do walk on leash. 

UPDATE: I just found out that these senior dogs have been living in their desceased owner's home without heat since her death. Is there anyone who can give these two a safe, loving home for the rest of their years??

Please contact Julie as soon as possible time is limited. rescuemalinois@gmail.com

Boomer is about 5 - 6 years old but folks.... Boomer has energy, he is a mal after all. Would we expect any less of him? He LOVES to be with his person and will follow you around... a LOT. I have four malinois and as we all know that is a common trait in our breed. So if you love a dog that loves you and you have room in your heart PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE contact Sara as soon as possible. Email: flynnkramer@aol.com.

Note from Foster Coordinator, Julie: If I didn't already have a full house Boomer would be coming to Pennsylvania. His is a truely special case and he deserves the best home possible.

Boomer is fully vetted and is ready for a "furever" home. He is eligible to be adopted, not just fostered.

Allie - Recently adopted, sweet, beautiful Allie is being returned to rescue because she has become too protective of the children in the family. Allie is about 2 or so and is a nice girl but is being returned to rescue because in her new family’s eyes, she is too protective of the children.  Other than this, she has been a wonderful companion for them. Allie slept in her former foster parent’s house in her crate all night ,  was minding very well and appears to be very easy to train, she is a very smart little girl. She takes longer than the average dog to warm up to new dogs, but at her foster home she got along with their male Malinois after a little time and patience.  According to them, they had 2 galloping dogs running all over the yard and there wasn’t a squirrel safe in the yard. Allie is currently in SC near Columbia;

Rocky, a 5 year old neutered males is currently located near Houston. Up to date with shots, microchipped and on Frontline and Heartguard. Rocky can be protective so needs a mal savvy person. Not good with all dogs. As you can see, Rocky needs some TLC and good food. Rocky shows too much interest in cats so he is not recommended for a home with cats, small dogs or other animals, and young children.
