Ajax, 4 - 5 month old mostly Malinois, neutered male, NY

Ajax was put in a dumpster by his 'breeder' as he has a condition (manageable) called megaesophagus.

He was rescued by an angel who arranged for him to have surgery to help his condition. Ajax is energetic and healthy. However, he must be fed 3 small meals a day and pureeing or putting the food in a blender helps him keep it down. He is very sweet and great with kids and other dogs. His foster mom is a dog trainer so he is already housebroken and crate trained. She is now working with him on basic obedience. If Ajax is adopted locally, Westchester, Putnam or Fairfield counties, he will have access to free training and free vet care for his lifetime!!!!

For more information on Ajax, please Call: Lorraine at 845-225-6807 or contact Marcia.

Belle, 4.5 - 5 yr old, spayed female, OK

Belle is good with children and never aggressive

Belle is house broken, but she is slightly incontinent, she leaks a little, but does not completely lose it. My vet said this could be corrected with meds, but I have not tried it. She is good with children and never aggressive. She has been apprehensive and barked at strange males, but never anything I would consider aggressive. She is good with cats as long as they like dogs. With other dogs she tends to be the boss, and as long as she is the boss everything is ok. Our male malinois (Riley) is pretty much the boss and she accepts that, but with other females she has to be top dog. She is very guarded with food, but eats it quickly so there is no problem, in guarded I mean with other dogs, she has never shown aggression towards a person. She is leash trained, and pulls very little, but responds to a tug to back off, she sits well, shakes, and will come when called, if whe is out in the pasture she does not come as well, but in the house or yard she listens well. She will play great, and does have plenty of energy, but will settle down very quickly. I also had her catching frisbees, but haven't been working on it lately she would pick it up quick again though. She will also fetch, but she doesn't always come straight back, but close. She is really a special dog with a lot of love. She doesn't care to be pined over a lot, and can lay in the corner of the room in her own world, but does like to sit near you if you are on the floor with her and get her belly rubbed. She also like to swim in the pond. She would do best in a home with other playful dogs, but would need to be supervised while they adjust, and she would also be good a single dog as long as the owner gave her lots of love.

For more information on Belle, please contact: Rockford. My cell # is 405-880-2171. I can be called 24 hours a day. Leave a message if the phone is off.

Biz, 1.5 yo, neutered male, NC

Biz is a very loving energetic boy

Biz as he is called for short is a very loving energetic boy. He gets along with other dogs and the three cats here.

Biz has had some obedience training and very much wants to please. He is self confident and loves being around people.

He enjoys running and playing with toys. Biz is house trained and even though he loves to go out and play he is good while in the house and does his business outside.

He has been with us since my daughter went into the Marines but he needs a fenced in yard to play in and we don't have that for him here.

It is with sadness that we are placing him because he is a joy to be around.

Brandy, 14 mo old, spayed female - NY

Brandy in the Beginning
Brandy Today!

Update 08/20/08:
Slide Show

Brandy is the epitome of gracefulness and elegance!!!

She is a beautiful 14 months-old short-haired female Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) approx 45-50 pounds. Brandy is a trained "search and rescue" dog. Her family gave her up when they moved to a co-op that does not allow dogs.

Brandy is a really amazing dog, full-breed Malinois (a working breed), very gentle and sweet and extremely obedient. She is built like a deer and a total joy to watch galloping through the park. Brandy has an inborn protective instinct and is very devoted to her family.

The Malinois is not a dog for the first-time dog owner. Brandy needs a guardian that is an experienced Malinois dog owner and knows how to handle dogs that are very protective. Brandy needs a quiet, adult home with a guardian that is a good pack leader and can give her the physical and mental stimulation that the Malinois needs. Brandy needs an owner that can give her a job (agility, flyball, herding, search and rescue… where she can use her considerable energy.) to disburse the enormous energy the Malinois has.

Brandy grew up with children that she adored, but given Brandy's strong protective instinct we won't place her in a home with children and/or teenagers because visiting friends and playmates popping in and out of the home may look like a threat to Brandy.

Brandy will need a transition period to bond with her new family. Some Belgian Malinois dogs become shy or act aggressively under stress during this transition. They need time to re-bond in a quiet, secure, and relaxed environment without being put in stressful situations. This adjustment period may take a few months. After Brandy bonds with her new family she'll probably be more relaxed around strangers. For more information about the Malinois transition period, please check the ABMC Belgian Malinois page: http://www.malinoisrescue.org/belgmalinfo.shtml.

Brandy's breed has remained a breed of runners. Brandy's color is a mixture of fawn and black, which used to be overloaded with prizes but that has practically disappeared. Brandy is highly intelligent, alert and sensitive to everything going on around her. She is fully housetrained and great with other dogs.

Brandy is spayed, UTD with vaccines, and microchipped.

To give Brandy a second chance at a rewarding and fulfilling life, contact her rescue group: Louise or call Strays from the Heights, 646-678-6501.

Brio, 10-12 mo old, neutered male - TX

Con Brio meaning With Brilliance or With Spirit.

Brio is a German Shepherd Dog/Belgian Malinois mix male puppy. He is estimated to be about 10-12 mos old. His name is derived from the musical term, Con Brio meaning With Brilliance or With Spirit. This fits him perfectly. He's a very smart, lively boy and loves humans. He gets along well with the other household dogs.

Brio is good with children but because he is very spirited and lively he can be too rambunctious for very young children. Brio has learned to walk on leash and the sit command. He will be learning additional basic dog obedience while in his foster home.

He will probably be house broken easily as he has had no accidents in his crate and while in the house loose, closely supervised. Because he is very young he is always supervised or crated while inside. He loves to be inside with his humans. When we're at work during the day he stays in his crate. At night he also sleeps in his crate. He enjoys walks and running with his foster mom and the other dogs. Brio needs to go to a home where he will be an inside dog.

For more information on Brio, please contact: Anne or call 713-385-2317.

Clancy, 22 mo old, neutered male, OH

Clancy is not good with cats, but is extremely dog friendly

he has not been around children much so it is hard for me to judge exactly how he would be but i think he would be fine with older children. he has been to a professional k9 training facility, he knows on and off leash commands, placemat command, he heels beautifully etc. clancy is a little shy with new people but warms up quickly, and is such a love bug with his people. he is very protective (a great guard dog), and would make a terrific agility dog or partner to a trainer. he definitely needs lots of exercise and mental stimulation. he is exceptionally intelligent, loving, devoted and beautiful.

Coyote, 11 mo old, spayed female - Dallas, TX

Coyote was rescued from the LBJ Grasslands (thousands and thousands of acres of NOTHING)

Coyote is a Malinois or Malinois mix perhaps that was rescued from the LBJ Grasslands (thousands and thousands of acres of NOTHING). She was starving and scared, but my best friend, a veterinarian, loaded her up and brought her home after finishing her trail ride. She was unable to keep her as she has 10 corgi's of her own. I reluctantly agreed to let her live with me, which she has for the past 6 weeks, however, she has decided to try to be progressively more dominant over my Staffordshire which may soon find her in dire shape (hence, my reluctance at the beginning). I would much rather see her find a home where she can be top dog than to have to referee a loosing battle.

Coyote is about 11 months old and she has been spayed, she is also completely vaccinated (rabies, DA2PPC, Bordetella). She is heartworm negative and on preventative. She has been dewormed for all intestinal parasites. She is even microchipped, and the chip is just waiting to be registered by her new owner. I would gladly send her with a supply of heartworm prevention and frontline as well.

This dog is a sweetheart. She loves to play. LOVES to run. Just loves the companionship of humans in general. she is housebroken (though I do have a doggie door, so that is sort of cheating, but even when its closed at night or during the really cold days. No accidents). Coyote's only downfall is she is a chewer. Though I think much of that could be attributed to the long hours I work. She sleeps in the bed, and though she isnt a snuggler, she does like to tuck her nose under the covers. She is definitely personality plus I've attached a few pictures. Hopefully, you are the right home for this girl. A home where she can get the attention she wants and really deserves.

Duchess, 2 yr old, spayed female - OH

Duchess is Pretty and Smart!!!

Meet Duchess – I rescued Duchess from an animal shelter in January, 2008. At that time Duchess was approximately 1½ years old. I do not have any background information on her, she was wondering about town.

Duchess is young and energetic. She loves to get company. I suggest her adoptive family have older children, as Duchess playfulness may intimidate a young child. Duchess LOVES to be outside playing, especially in the winter. Playing ball is her favorite. Duchess is house broken and kennel trained. A fenced in backyard is great, she can run and play with minimal supervision. She is not destructive in the home.

Duchess is spayed (prior to the animal shelter), and is current with her shots. She is on a monthly heartworm medication and received a good bill of health from the vet's office.

Duchess has not had training for obedience, however, does mind the commands she's been taught in the past 5 months. Duchess is the whole package, pretty and smart!

Dusty, 16/18 mos old, neutered male, Austiin, TX

He loves people and is in need of an Active Home!

Dusty was found in the woods at the end of September of 2007, and we think he was about 4 months old at the time. He was adopted earlier this year by a couple that didn't quite "get" the need for this breed to be ACTIVE and they returned him in August.

Dusty has an adventurous spirit and loves to explore the backyard for toads and grasshoppers. He is happy to play in the yard either by himself or with the other dogs, and when he is tired, he will chew quietly on his toys. He has learned basic commands, loves car rides, and walks nicely on a leash.

Gallahad & Tristan, approx 6 mos old, neutered males - Dallas, TX

Gallahad & Tristan Were Found on a Chuch Parking Lot!

I am the founder and director of a small, all breed, 501c3 rescue organization in Dallas, Texas. We were recently contacted for help by a retired woman who found two puppies on her church parking lot. One had been mauled by an animal - and also had cherry eye. She picked up that pup to take him to an emergency room - and the other ran away. She had all the requisite surgery for the first pup and then began searching for a rescue to take him -- and to help trap the second pup. We were able to get the second pup and they are both now living with me.

Goldie, 3.5 yr old spayed female, Mahopac, NY, Putnam County

I am now going through a divorce and I will not be able to have Goldie in my new home.

Goldie will be 4 in October, her name is Goldie and I rescued her as a puppy. I am now going through a divorce and I will not be able to have a pet in my new home. She is fully trained, very bright and loving. She know basic commands. She has been raised in our home with 2 children. My kids are now 11 & 7 so she does well with young kids too.

We have a fenced yard, but she loves long walks too! Goldie does have a medical condition called pancreatic enzyme deficiency, which requires her to be on meds for life. The medicine is mixed into her moistened food, it is a powder form, and the cost is aprox. $106.00 every 3 months. As a family we are devastated to have to give her up. We are hoping to find someone that truly loves this breed, and has room in their heart and home for a new pet. She is clean, well care for and loved, up to date on all vet care and shots. I have her complete vet records available. We live in Mahopac, New York, in Putnam County on the Westchester border.

Jacey, approx 5-6 yrs old, spayed female, TX

Jacey is a wonderful dog for a home without small children or cats.

Jacey is beautiful, obedient, house-trained, loyal, low maintenance and rides well in cars. She is content to lay in a doggie bed all day or go for a walk. She will match your energy and lead and do whatever you would like her to do. She is about 5-6 years old and is in excellent health. She is agile, coordinated and could probably be trained to do tricks. She is INCREDIBLY intelligent and is the best watch dog I have ever seen. In fact, she is one of the best dogs I have ever seen in many respects. She does not bark needlessly and will not bark back at neighborhood dogs that are making a racket. She only barks when she hears something to guard the home.

She doesn't chew as she knows when she's done something wrong and doesn't want to disappoint her owners. She likes to cuddle when she first sees you come home or from time to time during the day but she can be independent otherwise if need be. She will come whenever you call her but she is secure enough that she doesn't have to be under your feet 24/7, she can sit on her own and chew on a bone or just lay off on her own (she can pretty much be as cuddly or independent as you need). She is not hyper nor overly lethargic. Her energy level is perfect, alert when she needs to be (watching the house or if you want to take her for a walk or throw a ball) but otherwise she's content to lie down all day and doesn't have to be entertained.

On one hand she seems like an alpha dog and is protective. She didn't always like the other dogs in obedience school, particularly dominant females, but she tolerates a lot from our male Lab, including him sneaking her food and taking her toys. She really seems to mother him. Commands she knows are sit, stay, lie down (along with hand signals), she could be taught a lot more if someone was interested in working with her. She picks up on things quickly. She tends to pull on a leash but walks well with a gentle leader. She can be protective a little when she meets new people and so we always show her that they're ok and let her warm up to them. She's not crazy about someone running up to her and throwing their hands on top of her head. She got nervous one time when someone did this so we always ease her in to new people now. Everyone who meets her loves her and thinks she's a really neat dog. She can be shy at first but before long she will work her way right into your heart.

For more information on Jacey, please contact: Claire or call 817-590-9665.

Kyle, approx 3 yr old, male, CA Spay/Neuter Policy

Kyle is a friendly, calm, happy dog who is itching to get out and play.

Kyle is a male Malinois mix, estimated to be about 3 years old. He was dropped off at the Berkeley shelter on October 9 with no information. He is a bit skinny, but this is not unusual for a young male. His coat is rough in places, and not yet glossy, but should continue to improve steadily as he spends more time on an improved diet. He will be a good looking, sturdy dog.

He walks well on a leash with no pulling or lagging. He doesn't react to other dogs, bicycles, or people. He is only mildly interested in treats but seems to like to play with a ball, chasing and retrieving, or chewing. He loves attention and likes to be petted and handled. He doesn't appear to know any obedience commands, but is attentive and tries to figure out what you want him to do.

Kyle would be a great addition to an active household. He would probably learn obedience or some other dog sport quickly and do well if given a chance.

For more information on Kyle, please contact Berkeley Animal Care Services, ask for No. A011474, in Kennel 1:
2013 Second Street
Berkeley, Ca 94710
