Lady, 6 yr old, spayed female - CT

Just like my name says - I'm quite a Lady.

I'm just six years old and smart as a whip. My gait is downright regal if I do say so myself. I am very obedient and I know 'sit','down', 'stay', and 'shake'. I'm mellow and low-key when I'm inside, and I love to lounge in my doggie bed. If you invite me, I would be happy to nap on the couch with you. I will bring my ball back to you as long as you keep throwing it, I really aim to please. My breed (Belgian Malinois) is known for protection, agility and intelligence and I am a good example of these qualities. I don't like to dwell on the past, but I'm a canine victim of a human relationship that ended. I do alright with other dogs, but I don't care for those critters they call cats. Could you be the new home I'm looking for? I am crate trained, spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Lucy, 6 yr old, spayed female - FL

Very calm, quiet and sweet

Treated for HW in 2005 Lucy is good with other dogs as long as they aren't too loud and active around her. Very housebroken, and good with kids. She'd make a good family pet, they said. We think she's just too quiet to stick out and get noticed, she's been here since 2005.

Mitz, 8 mo old male, FL

Mitz (Mitzvah) is an adorable, 8 month old (born March 2007) rascal.

He is high energy, with strong prey and food drives. He is crate trained, has a bigger more open day crate and an airline-type crate where he sleeps in my room. Mitz was brought to Florida from NC with a broken right front leg and notched tip of right ear and left with us. Our wonderful orthopedic vet has pronounced his leg good as new. We believe he was kept outside because he drinks from Bromeliads and loves hanging outdoors - but he is definitely an inside dog and loves being with his foster family. He loves to "help" me cook by lying directly under my feet when I am at the sink or stove. Mitz is a totally sweet puppy who has the typical Malinois "mouthiness" ("devil-dog" "piranha puppy" is more like it!) We agreed to foster him because there was no where else for him to go.

We have had him neutered, he is on heartworm, flea & tick prevention, and is up to date on all shots, and is 99% housebroken.

Mitz would do very well in a home with another playful dog and a nice big yard. We think he is a herder, because he likes to herd his toys and a huge yoga ball. He LOVES to play with other dogs and is going to be a great running buddy when his leash training is done. (He is in obedience classes – reward based – and he is doing great. (I don't agree, but the trainer calls him Mellow Mal.) The notched ear stands up but the left ear flops most of the time. He makes us laugh: He gets the zooms and runs all over the house with his butt tucked under, really fast. He cocks his head and furrows his little brow when he is curious about a sound or something we're doing. And because we reward him for going in his kennel, and in hope of a treat, he runs into his kennel and turns to look at us to see if he did well.

We love Mitz very much, but we have no yard and work full time so he stays alone for up to nine hours, which is totally unfair to this wonderful pup. We were not ready for a dog at all, much less a puppy, and we are used to lab/retriever type dogs. So we do not have the time, energy or patience that this sweetheart needs and deserves. We're doing our best, but he needs a different home.

For more information on Mitz, please contact Pamela.

Musashi, 5 yr old, neuterede male - So. CA

This gorgeous, Belgian-bred boy is in his prime

Musashi is a wonderful example of the Malinois breed. His owners bought him as a pup while living in Belgium, and we do have all his breeder's info, etc., and his registration. He is from strong working lines, but was neutered young, as they did not plan to breed or compete with him. They now would like to find him a new home due to the arrival of a baby in the family. He has never bitten or harmed a child, but they are concerned about having a high-drive Mal in their household. One issue of concern has been mild resource-guarding.

Musashi has extremely high ball-drive, and will also work for food. It is likely he could do sportwork, and possibly detection or other scentwork. He has basic obedience training, and will be fun to work with in the future! The best home for Musashi will be an active one, where he can participate in regular, positive training. We would suggest no cats or other small dogs, and no young children.

For more information or an application on Musashi, please contact Teri or call 310-702-2389.

Odin, 2 yr old, neutered male - PA

Odin needs a home with no other dogs

I rescued Odin and 3 of his littermates when they were dropped off at a shelter because the "breeder" was unable to sell them.

Odin has many awesome qualities and it is killing me to consider rehoming him. However Odin is very uncomfortable around other dogs and there are 6 other dogs in my home. This makes things stressful for him, me and the other dogs. Odin has always been avoidant of other dogs but is now defensive. I do a lot of dog training and have tried several different methods with him but this fear of other dogs seems to be part of his temperament. For this reason Odin needs a home with no other dogs.

Odin has his Open agility title. I have not competed with him recently due to his dog aggression issues. He is 100% housebroken, crate trained and listens extremely well. He is food and toy motivated. He knows how to use a treadmill with supervision, loves to swim and play fetch. He has a lot of energy but is fine in the house. Odin is not a confident dog so needs direction. He likes people and wants to be with me at all times. He likes to cuddle but shows no signs of separation anxiety. He can be over reactive to pain and I had to work to teach him to tolerate nail trimming. Because he can overreact and has no experience with children he will only be placed in a home with no children.

Odin will only be placed in the "perfect" home. This home will have no children or dogs. The owner will be experienced and will only use positive training methods - Odin only needs a verbal correction to be redirected. The owner needs to be patient and understand that, when dog aggressive, Odin is only reacting out of fear and insecurity - correcting him will only make him worse.

If at any time Odin cannot stay in the new home I will take him back immediately. If you are interested in this wonderful dog please call Isabelle at (814)455-2225.

Piper, Age not provided, spayed female, OK

Piper was a neglect/cruelty case & so skinny her rescuers didn't know she was pregnant!

Piper is around 4 years old. Spayed. Current on shots. Is on Heartworm medication. Loves kids. She will sit on command and will also shake hands. Gives kisses. She is not cat friendly at all. She is very hyper and runs off her weight. She had a toe injury before coming into rescue and lost her toe nail. She hops on that foot from time to time but vet says it is fine. She loves to play with her pups. However, I am not comfortable letting her in with the general group in the exercise yard. Piper was a neglect/cruelty case. She was skinny as a rail when she came in. She was so thin we could not tell she was going to have pups.

The last 3 pictures are of the pups. Their ears are down. The male has a funny ear thing. His ears will fold back onto his head. Looks really funny. Of the puppies, he is the sweetiest. Has more of his Mom's personality. The 3 girls are more aloof but warms up to you after a bit.

Basically locked in a cage for the entire 11 months of his life within one day this starved for love magnificent creature is the most popular boy in the dog run.

This exquisite Belgian Malinois was rescued from a home in Brooklyn and brought to the network by a very caring rescuer. Roy was basically locked in a cage for the entire 11 months of his life. We didnt know what to expect! An intact dog with no social skills. Boy, were our fears unfounded. Within one day this starved for love magnificent creature is the most popular boy in the dog run, and that includes the small breeds. He has fallen in love with the boy in the picture. He has learned to sit, lay, go in his crate happily and we just can't find a nicer dog who will give you years of love and companionship!

To meet Roy in Park Slope call Laurie at 917 754-3537. Don't forget to fill out the adoption form at http://brooklynanimalfosternetwork.org/adopt.html but hurry. A purebreed this well behaved will have a lot of responses. Roy will be neutered early next week. Time of writing: August 2, 2008.

Saber, 2 yr old, neutered male - CO

Saber is an energetic male who has a very friendly disposition towards people.

Saber is an energetic, two year old neutered male who has a very friendly disposition towards people. He has a small, lean build. Saber has a high prey drive and will quickly chase whatever animal is running from him. He needs some work with his dog social skills because his play can quickly become too rough for other dogs. He does not like going to the vet or having his nails trimmed.

His original owners left him alone in the backyard or crated in the garage for long periods of time and as a consequence, Saber began to do a lot of barking . A neighbor's child came into the backyard unsupervised and uninvited and began playing with him. In the play Saber nipped the child. This event in addition to the barking prompted the original owners to put him in foster care. Saber was with me for about a month before I was able to place him in another home. He was in this home for about 9 months and then his new owner moved into an apartment in another city. Saber was left indoors during the work day (9 - 10 hours). As a result of being left unsupervised for such long periods of time, he began to relieve himself indoors and started destructive chewing of about anything within reach.

Since coming back to his foster home Saber has not done any chewing or relieving himself indoors. His dog social skills are improving with my other three dogs (two malinois and a golden) but he needs to be reminded if his play is getting too rough. He is very inquisitive about the cat, but so far has not chased her -- he has learned quickly about the indoor "Invisible Fence" which has made him cautious of her whether she is within the Fence's boundary or not. He exhibits some insecurity when I am out of sight by whining, barking or pacing, but this behavior has begun to decrease. He loves to be petted. He is responding well to clicker training for obedience and agility work. Emphasis so far has been for heeling, come, sit, down and "leave it". I have been working him on unsteady surfaces and have him climbing simple ladder problems. He is not strongly driven for toys, but works well for hot dog tidbits and praise. He shows a lot of interest in "critter" scent, but I have been working with him to decrease this behavior.

Saber's new home should be one where his new owner will continue with his training and allow him to be a large part of his human's life. I do not recommend a home with very young children since their activity and noisiness will incite his prey drive.

Suri, 1.5-2 yr old, spayed female - TX

Suri is sweet, loves to walk and run on leash and play ball!

Suri is 1.5-2 yrs old, weighs 50 lbs and is a Belgian Malinois or Malinois mix who was found at a local shopping center parking lot abandoned with her sister or daughter. Suri is fully vetted - all shots and spayed. She is heartworm negative and on heartguard.

Suri is extremely smart and learns really fast. She already knows some basic commands: sit, down and heel. She is very sweet and gentle and walks well on leash. She likes to play ball and is a great running partner.

Suri is still young so she sometimes is very excited during greeting her foster mom but settles down quickly. She is crate-trained and loves to be inside with the family. She cannot be an outside dog - if left outside without human or canine companions she will try to escape. She has not had any accidents inside so is likely house trained.

Suri will need training and an experienced handler. She's probably good with kids but this has not been tested directly.

Cats - she chases them, don't know what she'd do if she caught them.

Dogs - Suri is very social and seems to get along with all other dogs.

Children - unknown.
