Holly approx 1 yr old spayed female - PA

Fee: $250

What a cutie pie! Holly is a very sweet, playful little girl!!

She is a petite fawn colored, spayed female with beautiful black markings. She is estimated to be 1 year old although she is so puppyish, it wouldn't be surprising if we discovered she was less than 1 year old. She is 39 lbs. and stands approximately 19" at the withers.

Holly is good on leash and very well behaved in the car. She quietly rides in the back seat and periodically pops up to quizzically look out the window. She is house trained and crate trained.

She adores going for long walks and loves to bound around the yard, exuding total joy as she races around the yard with my other Malinois. She is not extremely high energy and can amuse herself with the basket of dog toys for several hours. She is a hoot to watch as she takes each one out of the basket, plays with it for a few minutes and then returns to take the next one. She seems very impressed with the quantity and selection and just can't figure out which one to play with so tries her best to play with them all.

She gets along great with my other Malinois (all are female). We have not observed her with cats and we do not have children.

Holly is like a little sponge, learning very quickly. She knows sit and we are working on the other basic skills. She is a very special little girl with enormous potential.

It appears that Holly has had a rough start in life. She is very cautious of humans, especially men. She took a little while to warm up to me and is still cautious with my husband. He has been making a special effort to bond with her and as a result, she is trusting him more and more. In spite of her unfortunate past with humans, she's remarkable in how joyful and happy she is while playing …whether it be running freely in the backyard or emptying the toy basket. And once she trusts, she is a snuggle bunny.

With the right family that can show her lots of love, kindness, and patience, I think she will blossom into an amazing dog.

Lady 10 yr old spayed female - NJ

Fee: $100

Lady is a CPE (couch potato extraordinaire)!

Lady is a 10 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.

Roxanne 6 yr old spayed female - PA

Fee: $150

Roxanne is six years old, petite, and very shy. She spent most of her life in a kennel situation!

Roxanne was used to breed and had not received the essential socialization, love and attention that all dogs need.  She is extremely leery of strangers (including the smallest children) and most unfamiliar situations. It is truly amazing that, with this past, she is the gentlest dog.  She has never, ever used her teeth, snarled or curled a lip.

Inside she relaxes in a "safe spot", not participating in much other than mealtime.  But when one is sitting or lying quietly, Roxanne solicits attention with a nudge and a lick, completely caught up in being loved. She crates very well and is completely house-broken. Outside, she is active, will play with another dog and absolutely loves to duck and splash in a wading pool.  She is still learning about large, deep water.  She does circle, but has gotten better.  Roxanne only knows a few commands.  She does a good "touch" before receiving her meals and follows hand signals, especially when they direct her to a "safe spot".  Similarly, her recall is a matter of trust.  However, she "heels" perfectly on a loose leash and is a pleasure to take on long walks.

Roxanne is a special Malinois that will need a very patient home who is willing to give her the time and love she truly deserves.  Once she finds that special home, she will bond and love you in her own way that will warm your heart!

Shaq 9 yr old neutered male - VA

Fee: $100

Shaqs owners lost their home and left him there until rescue learned of him!

Shaq is a sweet 9 year-old boy who needs a family. This well-mannered, loving boy was brought into rescue through no fault of his own. Sadly, his owners lost their home and left him there until rescue learned of him and brought him to his current foster home.

In his early days, he was trained in Search and Rescue. Now, he is looking for a home that will love him for the wonderful boy he is and allow him to participate in family happenings.

Shaq gets along well with other dogs, loves human companionship and even has learned to live with horses. He enjoys walks, going for car rides and most of all, at the end of the day, he loves sitting with his family and being touched. He is obedience trained, crate trained, housebroken, up-to-date on vaccinations and neutered.

If your desire is to have an older, well-trained partner, who will return your love tenfold, Shaq is your guy!

Timber 11 mo old neutered male - VA

Fee: $250

Timber sleeps well in his crate, uses it even with the door open, has terrific manners and follows directions very well.

Timber (Tim, Timby, Timbuktu) is a gorgeous 11 month old boy who never met a person he doesn't love. This guy is a great dog in the house, very mellow and easy going, sleeps well in his crate, which he uses even with the door open. He has terrific manners and follows directions very well. He is very trustworthy alone in the house, though he actually prefers to be in his crate when left alone. He is completely housebroken and his basic obedience is coming along well, learning sit, down, stay, heel and come very quickly.

He gets along fine with children and is very gentle with all the kids he has met. He lives for a pet or a scratch from whoever is around and bonds quickly and easily to his people.

Timby came from rural Virginia and so is unfamiliar with and reactive to cars and traffic. He is not fearful or aggressive, just intensely interested and will chase and bark if allowed. For this reason a quieter suburban or rural home is a must for him. We are working on his car issue and his forever owners must be willing to provide leadership and patience in working on this with him. So far he has made some progress and is getting better over time. He rides just fine in the car in his crate.

Timby is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever encountered and loves being in the home with his people. He has no separation anxiety and is not inclined to bark or guard the house. More he is interested and happy with people coming and going. He is good with other dogs and is only reactive to them if there are cars around to get him overexcited. He would do fine in a house with other dogs and has also shown little or no interest in cats, birds, squirrels or other small animals. Cows and horses are also familiar to him and he is perfectly comfortable and calm around them.

Finally, Timby is absolutely beautiful with a distinctive dark coat that many have commented on. He is not a large Malinois, weighing about 54 pounds, is neutered, UTD on all shots, is very athletic but of medium energy, and would do well in agility or other structured activity.
