Hi I'm Lacey!

I'm looking for a forever home with someone who will promise to be a strong and confident pack leader, provide me with extensive exercise, offer me a lot of activities that involve mental stimulation, take time to hold me, hug me, accept my kisses and promise to love me unconditionally forever. Whew, yeah I know I have a lot of demands, but I'm worth it! If you think you can provide me that kind of home, please apply to adopt me and allow me to tell you a little more about myself:

I was born on January 15, 2011 in an airline crate at a kill shelter along with my 10 brothers and sisters. We were all rescued the next day by my foster mom and the ABMC rescue. Although my mom loved me very much, she was extremely emaciated, very sick and as hard as she tried could not provide milk for us. We all had to be hand fed, and many of us got really, really sick. I lost 7 of my siblings and the doctors feared for my life as well. But I was one of the strongest puppies from day one. I always ate my entire bottle plus some more and never had to be tube fed or receive fluid injections. I'm one tough girl!

I'm looking for a forever home with an experienced handler/pack leader. I have very high working drive and a TON of energy. I will make an amazing competition obedience or agility dog. But, I'm also very sweet and loving. I want a home with a lot of structure and discipline, but also a lot of love. I want to sit in your lap and get lots of love, hugs and kisses all the time!

I work well for treats, toys and praise. I hope my new parent has had a Malinois before, or understands my energy, smarts and drive; because I can be challenging . . . but I'm a good, sweet girl and really want a forever and ever home! I also know how to sit/sitz and down/platz. I learned how to do each of these in one training session with my dinner being hand fed as my treat. I'm very fast at learning and retain my training. I do need my new owner to teach me some things . . . one of those being potty training. But don't let that scare you. I've grown up in a big doggy daycare and I just need to learn what it's like to be in a house. My brother Billy Bear and sister Zoey learned potty training really fast when they went to their forever home.

To let you know a little about my immediate family: My mom is an impeccably bred Belgian Malinois and my Dad was a Malinois too, but I don't know him. That means I'm a purebred Malinois! I'm just like my mom though, who is now happy, healthy and excelling in obedience, agility and service dog work. But like her, I have really high energy and a really high working drive. If you are looking for an amazing obedience or agility dog . . . I'm your girl!!! Since I'm so high drive and need an owner who I can really connect with; so, I need you to be willing to visit me at my home in West Des Moines, Iowa before I can be adopted. I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Lacey

Oso 2 yr old neutered male - MN

Fee: $250

Oso is a Malinois with quite a story and a lot of luck.

Oso started life as a street dog in Patagonia, Argentina. He spent his first few months in the home of an Argentinean girl until her father discovered the dog and sent him back to the streets. Oso found a friend in an American boy who was going to school in Patagonia. This boy began feeding Oso and caring for him. The boy's mother paid for Oso's vaccinations and basic vet care. Sadly, the boy had to return to the US and just couldn't find a way to bring Oso with him. Oso was once again o his own until he was hit by a car. The boy heard about this and relentlessly begged until his mother made Oso's U.S. citizenship official. Oso was once again vetted by this family and took up life in Minnesota. Once Oso was safe, the boy's interest waned and Oso was just too much for the mom of the family. Oso's luck came through once again and he found a foster home in Minnesota. Now Oso is waiting for that last little bit of luck he needs-a forever home where he can finally settle in and enjoy life as an active, much loved family member.

Oso is neutered, fully vaccinated and HW free and housetrained. While Oso will go into a crate when asked, he prefers to spend his time loose. Oso is good with female dogs or non-dominant neutered males. Because of his street dog days, he should not go to a home with cats or other small pets. Oso knows his basic obedience commands and loves to work for treats. Oso walks well on a gentle-leader head halter. While Oso is a large boy, he thinks he is a lap dog and loves to cuddle up on his person's lap.
