NORTH CENTRAL RESCUES
IL, IN, IA, MI, MN, NE, ND, SD, OH, WI
These Rescues are currently available in the Northeast area of the country. If you are interested in adopting one of the Malinois profiled in these pages contact the foster home listed in the profile.
A NOTE TO POLICE OFFICERS, SAR GROUPS
AND OTHERS LOOKING FOR WORKING MALINOIS:
Many police officers/trainers/SAR groups approach Malinois rescue looking for young dogs to train. Most of our rescued dogs are not suitable for these types of jobs. Some of our rescued Malinois are actually dogs that have been rejected by police departments due to their inability to do the job. While we are not opposed to adopting dogs out as working dogs, we adopt only to individuals, never to organizations or police departments. Most of our rescued Malinois have had difficult beginnings in life. The majority will make fantastic family pets, but most of them do not have the temperament needed to work day after day with a police officer or in search and rescue. All dogs adopted through Malinois rescue will be spayed or neutered prior to placement.
Redi 11 mo old spayed female - IN
Fee: $300
Redi is ready for her forever home! She is a high energy, full of life little girl about 20" tall and 40 pounds.
Redi is good with other dogs that don't rush right at her, and very curious about cats. Her foster home has 3 cats, and she sees them every day – but does not have the opportunity to chase them around the house. Redi is very good in her crate, and has not had a single accident in the house! Well, not the potty type of accident…she is VERY playful, and whatever she plays with is soon in little pieces, so needs to be watched very closely when she is out of the crate. Her favorite toys are plastic milk jugs – they make lots of noise & nobody cares if they get torn up! She also loves to chew on her bones & almost always has something in her mouth.
Redi is a quick learner and is working on basic, companion obedience. She is pretty good about not bolting out of her crate & is starting Crate Games. She is great at sit, working on down & stay, and is developing more focus every training session. She has also learned how to play tug & chase games. I think she would be a great companion for any active family or individual. I also think she would do well in obedience or agility, or any active sport where she can burn energy & play with people!
The only negative that I have found about Redi is that she is sometimes slow to greet new people, and she is an EXCELLENT fence climber! She can & has come over 5 and 6 foot wire fences. She must be in a pen with a top (at least around the edges to prevent climbing) when left unsupervised. If you are in the yard with her, she is much too busy playing with you to explore elsewhere!

Sable 3.5 yr old neutered male - MI
Fee: $250
Sable gets along with everyone and is ready for his new family!
Sable is a friendly, extra large boy who unfortunately needed to be rehomed through no fault of his own. He had been with his family since he was a puppy and has grown up around children. He gets along with everyone and currently lives with a baby, toddler, puppy, dog, and a cat. He has even lived with ferrets and has been exposed to horses, cows, and sheep! He should fit well into almost any home that is able to accommodate his large (90 lbs) size!
Apart from his super friendly personality, he is also crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and has had obedience training. He especially loves to show off all of the tricks he knows. He enjoys water and will jump into ponds, rivers, or sprinklers if given a chance. While he has energy and needs exercise like any Mal, he has medium drive and will fit very nicely into a family environment. Sable is neutered, microchipped, and has had his hips x-rayed (all clean). All he needs now is a wonderful new home!

Troy 2-3 yr old neutered male - OH
Fee: $250
Handsome Lover Boy Ready for a New Home!
Troy is one exceptional young man... a true lover boy & loyal companion. From day one he would follow me around the house or lay patiently when I was busy with something. Guessed to be about 2-3yrs, Troy is past the destructive puppy stages. Please understand he is a Malinois & is fully capable of remodeling your house & giving your furniture a new "dog approved" look. Fortunately he gets plenty of exercise so he is WONDERFUL in the house! There's no marking, chewing, ripping up anything when he's trusted with freedom, Troy actually chooses to stay within sight of me. Clean jumping any obstacle in his way to be with me. I believe he thinks his main job is to be my personal protector, my bodyguard. If I had only had three words to describe this amazing Mali boy it would be Loyal, Devoted, & Loving.
In his foster home Troy interacts with my female Malinois & a 6 month Male Malamute puppy. Although he tolerates them, he is quick to give a polite & necessary correction. Sadly, Troy has no idea what toys are. A bouncing tennis ball he will try to catch in the air but quickly drops it after he does. There is certainly more motivation for food but what he desires most of all is praise & to be loved on Clapping my hands & a higher toned voice is the ultimate reward for him. Lacking both food & toy drive, I'm not sure if he'd be the best option for a serious sports competitor.
He has a serious attitude on life, although some times he lets his silliness come through. We are working on crate games as he absolutely hates being in a cage. Ironically this is the only time he becomes destructive (possibly separation anxiety.) Troy is sooo smart! A 36" size crate is perfect for him, any larger and he has enough room to rip up crate trays. He has even figured out how to break out (if given so much extra room.) Thankfully, Troy is a quiet dog with limited barking but he is a big whiner who tries to play on your emotions.
Have I mentioned he's smart?! Maybe the perfect match for someone with a home based job?? But most of all someone with the patience to continue to work with him.
Handsome troy gets along with other dogs if introduced properly. Around a reactive dog though, he reacts himself, whether its out of prey drive or dominance. Around people there is zero ounce of aggression, he's 100% of pure love!
