Casey, 5 yr old, spayed female - FL

Casey Loves doggy ice cream!

Casey is a 5 year old sweet girl who is a victim of the economy. Her family has to move and she can't go with them. She loves to cuddle and play with her squeaky toys and every other night she enjoys doggy ice cream. She can learn to live with other dogs, but would prefer to be someone's only dog. She is crate trained, spayed, utd on her shots. She is an inside dog who has access to the backyard through a dog door. She is not destructive, but is used to being crated when left alone in the house.

She likes to sun bathe for brief periods and is very protective of her home. She interacts well with friends that come over to the house and she loves their attention. As with the breed she is full of energy. She has been with her family for 4 years. They rescued her from an animal shelter in Seminole county, FL. Having to give her up is hard to do it breaks her owner's hearts.

Darcy 2.5 yr old spayed female - GA

Darcy is without doubt the most affectionate and friendly dog alive! Her tail wags for the slightest reason, moving so rapidly that it goes in continuous circles. Her foster sometimes wonders if she's going to simply take off one day into the air like a helicopter. If you enjoy doggie attention and kisses or feel the need for a thorough face washing, this is your girl!

Darcy is spayed, UTD on shots, heartworm negative and on preventive. She is a slim, yet very healthy female Malinois. She's extremely food motivated and very susceptible to your wishes. You should never speak loudly to Darcy as someone did that to her as a puppy and she gets her feelings hurt very easily. But she's all about doing whatever you wish, just as long as you ask her nicely or bribe her with a treat.

Darcy is an easy dog to live with – definitely not the highest energy in the world. She has great house manners and sleeps in her crate at night or when no one is home. She will bark a greeting when you come home to alert you that she's still in her crate – and to let her out, so she can properly say hello to her person with wiggles, wags, and kisses.

She plays well with all dogs, both genders and all ages, although she's never been exposed to cats or toy breeds. So to be cautious, her forever home shouldn't include cats or toy breed dogs. For the same reason, her ideal home would be one without young children. She would be a bit too rambunctious sometimes in giving affection to be safe around small children.

Darcy would most likely enjoy going to an obedience class to brush up her manners, like heeling, staying, etc. We have no doubt that she'd be the star of the class, making friends with people and dogs alike.

You can view a short clip of Darcy playing with a Malinois friend here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Siq9eooeZc Darcy is the lighter colored Mal.

If you need some unconditional love and affection in your life, write us about this special girl. Darcy really is the most affectionate Malinois girl I've seen in a long time. All she needs is someone to share her joyful attitude and loving nature with!

Dutchess, approx 5 yr old, spayed female - FL

Dutchess - Smart, active, and sweet as she can be!

Dutchess she is approximately 5 years old. She is smart, active and sweet as can be! She loves to put her paws up on our shoulders and shower us with kisses! Only issue is Dutchess is not doing well in the shelter. She's very high energy (as I'm sure you know most Belgian malionis are). Dutchess is extremely stressed out by being in a room all day long; she paces back n forth and goes in circles endlessly. But the moment she's out of her room, on a walk or getting attention she's a balanced obedient animal. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury to have her out and about and it seems unfair to keep her in a room all day due to her breed and disposition. Please help us save her!

Hagan, 3 yr old, neutered male - FL

Hagen is seeking a new adoptive family without other small pets.

Hagen is a three-year old neutered Belgian Malinois. Originally rescued at 10 months of age, Hagen is seeking a new adoptive 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 animal when they are not. Hagen has been an outdoor dog and is very high energy.

A good 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 adopted by a family with small dogs or pets due to high energy and physical nature. He is friendly with children but should be monitored with small children, again due to his high energy and physical nature.

Jake, 3 yr old, neutered male - TX

Jake is part of the Kids-N-K9s, a program that pairs juvenile offenders in Williamson County, Texas,

with homeless dogs at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter for a 4 week training program. The youth learn responsibility, patience, and perseverance while helping the dogs gain skills that will help them get adopted.

Jake is a 3 year old Belgian Malinois mix. He is about 53 pounds and entered the shelter on 4/8 as a stray. His owner was found but could not afford to take him back, though she said he was a great dog and provided a lot of information about what a great housedog he is. Jake is a gorgeous and highly intelligent boy who can't wait to find a family a forever family. PERSONALITY: Loyal, attentive, very smart, highly trainable, friendly, playful, loving.

Jake travels well in a car and looks forward to eating french-fries after going thru fast-food drive-thrus.

ENERGY LEVEL: Higher Moderate – Jake looks active in his kennel but after a few minutes out of the kennel (or when you ask him to sit or show him a treat) he settles right down and has great focus on people. His previous owner reported he was very mellow in the house as long as he got a daily walk (or some time in a fenced yard). He is playful but definitely knows how to relax and lay around.
OTHER DOGS: Playful and loves to wrestle with other dogs. Has been great with everything from Pugs to Labs.
CATS: Looks like he wants to chase cats.
KIDS: Is in a program working with teenagers and is great with them. Previous owner said he was friendly with younger children, too.
CARS: Seems to love car rides.
HOUSETRAINED: Previous owner reported he only had 1 accident in the 3 months they had him and is crate-trained, too.
WALKS: Likes to go for walks. Is good about walking nicely on leash after he's had a chance to stretch his legs for a few minutes after being in his kennel a long time.
COMMENTS: Jake is an incredible dog. His previous owner loved him and said he was a great housedog. He rarely barked, didn't get on furniture, and was very well-behaved. They said he loved everyone and loved to go to soccer games and meet people of all ages. Jake has done amazing in our training program. He's incredibly smart and obedient and is always one of the first dogs to "get it" when we start a new trick. He is incredibly focused on his people and is very loving and loyal. The only reason his previous owners didn't reclaim Jake is that they didn't have a fenced yard and Jake would get away when they'd let him outside. They couldn't afford a fence so Jake has to find a new home. Jake's ideal home would have a yard with a 6 foot fence or owners who are willing to always walk him on leash. Jake is AWESOME at sit, shake, and come and is learning some other new tricks, too. This gorgeous, sweet boy attracts attention with everyone who meets him because he is so handsome. Luckily, he has the wonderful personality to match! Take Jake out of his kennel to a quiet area and spend a little time with him. We know you'll fall in love with this handsome, intelligent, loving boy.

Jake's adoption fee is $25 and includes a heartworm test, neutering (he's neutered), shots, and a microchip. For more information on Jake, email dwasielewski@wilco.org. To check if Jake is still available or for hours and location, visit www.wilcopets.org. Jake's ID # is A10162989. Search for KNK9 to check out our other adoptable dogs! While the dogs are doing great in the training class, they will need some extra training to learn to work as smoothly for their new owners as they are for their young handlers, especially in the very distracting shelter environment. Please find a quiet environment at the shelter to visit and bring some treats with you to encourage them to work for you, too!

Louise, 10 yr old, spayed female - TX

Louise, a 10 year old 3 legged Malinois spayed female

Louise is a 10 year old sweet girl who had been adopted from our shelter many years ago. In early April 2010 she was found on the streets and turned in to the San Antonio animal control. The microchip got her back to us. We never reached the adopters so she is living with us. Louise had 4 legs when we had her so we don't know her story. We just know that she is a beautiful, charming girl who adores everyone she meets.

Maya, 3.5 yr old, spayed female - Circleville, OH

She's a sweet, loving dog within our family, very laid back, but she never has warmed up to any of our friends, neighbors, and our extended family

I think Maya would really be her best in a home where she would have someone who could work with her to overcome her fear? nervousness? mistrust? of most people. She's a sweet, loving dog within our family, very laid back, but she never has warmed up to any of our friends, neighbors, and our extended family. She'll bark and run from room to room when company is in the house. If she's outside, she'll stand outside and bark at the house. I know to some degree this is part of her nature to protect us, but she doesn't quit when she might see that these people are not a threat. I believe she was not socialized well as a pup, possible even abused, but I'm not sure. We've had her (this time) for almost 1 1/2 years. (She lived with us for a couple of months when my brother-in-law first got her.) We thought she would mellow out being around our other dogs and seeing their behavior, but she didn't.

Maya is very patient and sweet with our 2 year old. Our daughter hugs Maya and lays on her all the time. So she is good with small kids. She has a lot of energy and likes to run and play. A home with a big yard and fence would be great. She would probably make a good jogging companion, but I haven't tried. (It's hard enough to jog with a stroller!) We had a border collie and a mastiff in our home with Maya and they all got along great. Probably a home without cats would be better for Maya. We've never had a cat, so I can't say for sure, but she chases rabbits, squirrels and such.

She's crate trained. We usually leave her in there when we aren't home. When she had her pups, we left her out though, and she didn't chew on anything and have any accidents. She sleeps in our room on a blanket on the floor.

Maya really is a good girl. It's hard to have to find another home for her, but we just don't have the time we thought we'd have to work with her more.

For more information on Maya, please contact: Chrissie.
