Adelaide 2 yr old spayed female - VA

Fee: $250

Adelaide would make a wonderful addition to any home!

Adelaide is a gorgeous 2-year-old healthy spayed female Malinois who was found as a stray in Alabama. Her owners did not claim her, but their loss is someone else's treasure! Adelaide has beautiful eyes and build. She is very respectful of the home, crate-trained, housebroken and does not appear destructive in any way. She loves being groomed and does very well with baths, nail clipping, teeth brushing and ear cleaning.

Adelaide just wants to be a part of the family. She loves kids of all ages. Two of her best buds are her foster's 22-month-old little girl and five-month-old little boy. Adelaide sleeps at the foot of the little boy's crib on most nights. She also has claimed the kiddie pull out couch of her foster's daughter!

Adelaide plays nicely with her foster's four-year-old male Malinois, but she has some issues with her foster's female Mal, so she should only go to a home with a male dog. While she is good with male dogs, Adelaide is VERY overly stimulated by cats. At the shelter, her ears would go up, and she would bark and jump at the cat cages, so she cannot be placed in a home with cats.

Adelaide is very loyal, and somewhat submissive for a Mal, as she loves to have her belly rubbed. She seems genuinely heartbroken if she feels she has disappointed you. However, it was reported that she escaped a fence, so Adelaide will require a tall, secure fence in her new home and should never be left outside unattended.

Adelaide is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm and tick preventative. We pray that Adelaide goes to a home that truly gives her the love and appreciation that she so deserves!

Amber 18-24 mo old spayed female - MA

Fee: $250

After being ignored all her life, this sweet little girl was dumped like a piece of trash at a shelter!

When Amber first got to her foster home, it was apparent that no one had put any time or effort into her. She was not housebroken, not spayed, HW positive, did not know any basic commands, she didn't even know how to chase a ball! After being ignored all her life, this sweet little girl was dumped like a piece of trash at a shelter--left tied up after hours for the shelter staff to discover when they arrived for work in the morning.

She didn't know it then, but that was the luckiest day of her life. Since she has been with her foster home, Amber has learned the joy of not only chasing the ball, but also how to catch it. She's still developing eye-to-mouth coordination, so she misses more than she catches, but she just loves leaping into the air to try. She might even make a good Frisbee dog! As you can see in the pictures, she always has a ball with her and trots around with it in her mouth. She's learning house manners very quickly, although the potty training is not yet 100% reliable. She will still try to chew on inappropriate items, but will leave it when told to. She HATES to be scolded. She loves to cuddle and thinks she's a lapdog. She sleeps at the top of the bed, curled up next to the pillow.

Amber settles nicely in the house, but, when she's outside, LOOK OUT!! She's the typical rough and tumble Mal—runs hard, plays hard and will go all day if she could. Because she is so rough, she will not go to a home with young children. She should probably go to a home with no other dogs or maybe a low key male. She plays rough and has knocked the other dogs in her foster home over, which they don't appreciate and her "play" sometimes leads to a scuffle. She is good with the cats although she should still be supervised around them as sometimes she forgets that the cats are not just squeaky toys and outside cats are definitely at risk if they run.

She learns quickly and wants to please. She would probably excel at agility or fly ball, maybe even dock diving though she has not been tried in water. She has good focus on her handler, even when the other dogs are running and playing, she is easily persuaded to play ball with her person rather than join in with the other dogs.

Amber still needs some work to become the wonderful dog that she can be, but she will be a great companion and performance dog for whoever is lucky enough to welcome this precious little sweetheart into their life.

Bart 1-2 old neutered male - VA

Fee: $250

Bart is a very friendly boy who loves to be with people.

Bart is neutered, up to date on all shots, just had a dental, and he is microchipped. He is on the small side – only 50-55 lbs and he will probably not get any bigger. He is a very friendly boy who loves to be with people. He is a soft dog who is easily corrected by just using your voice. Even though we haven't done much training with him he appears easy to train and eager to learn. He tends to be a little nervous in new situations.

Because of where we live, we have not done a lot of leash walking. He runs free with our dogs when we are out and he has never left me when walking in the woods or across the fields.

He gets along great with our kids (a 4 year and a 1 year old boy) and with other people who have visited our home. He also gets along well with our pony and sheep. He has learned to leave our chickens and ducks alone. He doesn't have much drive for chasing anything, but he does enjoy chasing a tennis ball with our other two Mals. He also gets along well with both male and female dogs. He has not met any cats while staying with us, but I'm sure he can learn to get along with them.

He is used to being in his kennel while we are at work. If left alone outside his kennel he will find something to chew on! This is true both for when he is left alone outside and inside the house.

Like all young Mals he is full of energy and needs a lot of exercise. He might make a great obedience or agility dog. I am sure that he will be a very loving and affectionate companion for a person or a family.

Clyde 18-24 mo old neutered male - NH

Fee: $250

Clyde is good around children, he thinks they're great!

Clyde is a BIG, handsome boy who at 65 pounds still needs to put some weight on. Clyde is a little cautious with men at first, but will warm up quickly.

Clyde is a very happy guy and shows his toothy grin when he is very excited. He is not mouthy and is good around children, he thinks they're great. He is good around other dogs but has not been tested on cats. He has been shown rabbits and guinea pigs in cages and he doesn't seem to care about them at all. He loves water and tries to swim but hasn't quite figured it out yet. Clyde is house broken but I wouldn't put it past him to mark in a new environment since he was just recently neutered.

Clyde just wants to find a person that he can call his own and go everywhere with them. He rides very well in the car uncrated and would be the perfect road trip buddy. He is a super velcro dog and will follow you anywhere. He will nudge your hand if he feels you are not paying him enough attention! He does have some separation anxiety problems so he should be given plenty of physical AND MENTAL stimulation. He should be crated when you are not home as he will get bored and WILL find things to amuse himself with, at your expense, like any Malinois.

Clyde is an amazing escape artist and can get out of pretty much anything because he just wants to be with his people. A sturdy crate should be used when you are not home. He has a scar on his right ear and we are thinking it may have come from escaping from a fenced area.

He is very smart and quick to learn, he knows sit, down, and wait. He's not really into toys but is food motivated. We are working on taking treats "easy". This handsome guy has plenty of potential in the right home.

Clyde is up to date on all shots and microchipped. He is currently being treated for Lyme, but should be done with his medicine prior to placement.

Lady 12 yr old spayed female - NJ

Fee: $100

Lady is a CPE (couch potato extraordinaire)!

Lady is a 12 year old appropriately named senior. She was unfortunate to have an owner who "loved" her so much that even when he could no longer be present to care for her and had no home for her, he kept her in an outdoor pen behind a church for nearly 4 years. She received only intermittent care. Finally the SPCA managed to get her. Only then did her owner agree to turn her over to rescue. She has crumpled ears due to poor care and poor feeding. She also sometimes gets sores that heal pretty quickly on her back, probably due to allergies.

Lady has a nice temperament, gets along well with people and kids, and most dogs. She is a CPE (couch potato extraordinaire), is crate trained, and rides very well in the car. Unintentionally, she was trained not to go upstairs in the house. After her 4 year outdoor ordeal, she quickly learned to be house trained again. She will play with puppies and young dogs and be very tolerant of their rough behavior. She is good in the house, not destructive at all. Somewhat reluctantly, she is the bottom of the pack. When outside she is quiet but will alert to a stranger.

For more information about Lady, please contact: Helen.

Marley 1 yr old spayed female - VA

Fee: $250

Marley has lots of energy and a very sweet disposition!

Marley is a one-year old Belgian with lots of energy. She has a very sweet disposition and is very friendly with people. She likes to use her paws and with treats will "shake paws", sit and down (briefly).

Marley is very agile would be great at agility or any activity to burn off some of her energy. She is very food motivated and likes to chase when playing with my other dog. Ideally, I would not recommend a home with cats, especially if they will run away from her.

Marley likes being around people and would be fine with older children. Although she is very friendly, she is a bit rough with the younger ones as she is still a bit of a puppy too.

Piper 3 yr old neutered male - VA

Fee: $250

Piper, Rescued, selected and trained for detection, Flunked, Returned to Rescue!

Piper is a three year old neutered malinois who was rescued by bark approximately one and a half years ago (location unknown). He was selected by the state police and put through explosive detection training for about six months but failed out of the program for unknown reasons. He was returned to bark and subsequently fostered by our family for approximately the last 10-12 months.

He is now house broken, crate trained, rides comfortably in a car and walks well on leash. He knows basic commands like sit, down, and recall when off-leash. He loves to chase a ball or stick but does not always bring it back to be thrown again. While indoors, Piper is a model citizen and enjoys playing with our other dogs, especially the 8 month old puppy. He also gets along with our cat.

He does display some stranger anxiety and takes awhile to warm up when new folks come into the house. He does limited circling in the house, usually just prior to being let outside or out of his crate, but he is currently learning to choose to sit before the aforementioned activities, because they will happen quicker if he sits.

When outside, Piper tends to circle unless taking a walk in the woods or being involved in a specific activity. He also has difficulty socializing with other dogs during free time outside as he will act like a kamakazi and dive bomb the dogs from long distance, instead of playing chase or joining in community ball chase. He does engage in clacking behavior and rarely clomps onto someone or something. The clacking has decreased over time with us.

Sookie 9 mo old spayed female - MD

Fee: $250

Sookie is a very playful 9 month old girl who ended up in rescue when her owner began traveling for his job and did not have time for her.

When I first brought her in to rescue, her coat was in the process of blowing and it was extremely unhealthy looking. Due to not having a foster available, Sookie spent 2 weeks in a kennel situation and began stressing so much that I could not bear to have her continue there, so I brought her home to give her some relief and time to settle. After a huge brushing and an outside bath, her coat is starting to recover nicely and in a few short days she completely turned around and is one of the best dogs that I have ever fostered! I do try to limit her crate time so as to not stress her out again, and would not place her in a home where someone was working long days and could not be there. She does crate nicely at night in the bedroom and sleeps until it is time to get up in the morning.

She is extremely eager to please and will be even more awesome with some continued training! She does wonderful with male and female dogs alike and respects her boundries once she knows what they are. I do have a cat, but have not tested her with it yet, but plan to do so shortly.

UPDATE: Sookie's cat testing is not going well, and I now do not recommend that she be placed with cats.

Sookie is a typical puppy who enjoys running and playing, and loves if that play involves water. She chases the hose and play bites the water, but will also settle down when playtime is over. She also gets in the small plastic dog pool. I have not tried her in deeper water, but feel that she would do anything to please her person.

I am currently working on Sookie's mouthiness in an effort to help make her safer around very small children. She plays wonderfully with my ten year old, but in her excitement does sometimes give open mouth kisses or puts her mouth on his arm. There is not a mean bone in her body, and I know this behavior is just the puppy in her that has not been taught all of her manners yet. She does sit very nicely and listens when you call her name or redirect her. I cannot think of one negative thing that she does that is not quickly and easily redirected!

Sookie is a wonderful girl who is up-to-date on all shots, microchipped and spayed. She is currently 50lbs and I am working on putting a little weight back on that was lost due to kennel stress. She is a tall girl, but a very good one. If you feel that you can give Sookie the love and stimulation that all young Malinois needs contact Maryfrances.

Fee: $200

Thanatos is a friendly, outgoing boy who has advanced obedience training.

He is an energetic dog that is ready to play and wants to please his owner. He would be a great dog for a first time malinois owner who is active and interested in continuing to work in obedience or agility with this smart boy! Thanatos is crate trained and UTD on shots.
