Jazzy 7-8 yr old spayed female - OH

Fee: $100

Jazzy in 2004 - Born: July 1, 2002 The foster fell in love and adopted Jazzy,

but now has mobility problems, so Jazzy needs a new home. Jazzy first came into ABMC Rescue when she was a year old, as a result of a divorce situation. She was accompanied by a 4 month old puppy, one of an accidental mating. A home was found for the pup and, as her foster mom fell in love with Jazzy's friendly, exuberant personality, decided to adopt her.

Jazzy is a small malinois, about 21 inches tall and weighing about 43 lbs. She has learned a few basic commands and tricks: Sit, Down, Come, Off, Kennel, Shake Hands, Roll over, and will retrieve a dumbbell. She loves to play with her kong type toys. When I let her out into the yard to potty, her first activity is to find a kong and jump on the low-pitched roof of the dog house with it. She is a good watchdog, but once a stranger is admitted to the house and sits down, she wants to be a lap dog and be petted. I think Jazzy would be good at agility, flyball, obedience, or any activity where she can be active with her people. She needs an outlet for her high energy.

Jazzy is jealous of Kit, my other spayed female malinois, but she gets along fine with Woody, my neutered male rescue Belgian Sheepdog, who ignores her. I do not know how she would be with cats, as there are none here. She seems to like all people. Her boisterous exuberance would probably be risky around toddlers, but she would probably like to play with active older children. Jazzy loves her toys, though she does sometimes chew on inappropriate objects. She is fed in her 400 airline crate, where she also spends the night.

Unfortunately, my health has not been as good as Jazzy's. I have been in the hospital several times, and am now mobility handicapped. I hate to part with Jazzy, but she deserves a more active life than I can give her. She will be a wonderful companion for the right owner. Anyone interested in adopting Jazzy should be able to come to central Ohio to meet her. Jazzy is spayed, microchipped, up to date on shots, and is on heartworm preventive.

Kaiser 9 yr old neutered male - OR

Fee: $100

Nine year old Kaiser is a very affectionate and willing companion.

Kaiser is a retired detection dog who spent most of his life in a kennel. When he arrived he had limited social skills, but has settled in well to being part of the family. He loves people and gets along with other dogs fine. We have not had the opportunity to see how he will do with smaller dogs, but he does not tolerate cats or other fast moving small animals like birds and chickens. He tends to want to chase the livestock, also. He would be best in a home with other dogs his size. He is still learning how to play catch, but is learning to play chase with our other Mal. He loves to play tug of war, but will bring you a throw rug, socks, towels, to do so if his toy is not available. He is learning to drop the items on command and is rewarded with his toy for doing so.

He prefers to stay close by and will lie on the floor in the same room, peacefully. At night he prefers to sleep on the bed, loves to cuddle, and has an issue with space - it's all his! He does do well with redirection, but in a firm not harsh voice. His endless kisses will greet you every morning, and if he gets scolded, he will go into another room and isolate himself. He does not like having his feelings hurt. He doesn't jump on you, and will gladly show you how he can shake with both paws, one at a time.

Kaiser loves car rides and when walking, will heel. Once under leash he is very obedient and waits for commands. He is very intelligent and very willing to please. While we are away he will sit on the front porch and patiently wait for us to return. However, when we do, he runs to the back doggy door and will be standing inside at the front door to greet us.

Lady 12 yr old spayed female - NJ

Fee: $100

Lady is a CPE (couch potato extraordinare)!

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 intermittant 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 extraordinare), 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.

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.

For more information on Louise, visit Bulverde Area Humane Society, in Bulverde Texas or contact: Christine.

Rory 7-8 yr old neutered male - TN

Fee: $100

Rory would be a great first time Malinois -- he has the energy and intensity of a Malinois toned down a bit with maturity.

Rory is a grand gentleman of approximately 7 or 8 years. For all he has been through, Rory continues to love humans and only wants to be with his people. He has wonderful house manners, is completely housetrained and quiet in a crate or kennel. He gets along well with other dogs (male or female), cats and small animals (he currently lives with two other Malinois, a corgi, a cat, and a rat). While Rory loves people, he has the manners of a gentleman and does not jump up or greet too enthusiastically. Rory loves to go for walks and does not pull on his leash.

Rory is a busy guy for his age -- he loves to carry a toy and prances around the yard showing everybody his great prize. He loves to retrieve and is learning to bring the toy back to keep the game going. Because he is a bit older, Rory does not need lots of exercise. A walk and some toy throwing as well as some time out in his fenced yard and Rory is content to spend the rest of his time keeping an eye on his people from his bed.

Despite his rough start in life, Rory appears to be a very healthy guy. He is active, agile, and athletic-leaping over a baby gate even when he weighed less than 40 lbs. He has never been sick or sore, even the day after his neuter surgery. Rory is also fully vaccinated, on heartworm and flea and tick preventative, and takes a daily 3 mile walk to keep his handsome figure in shape. If you would like to give this dignified Mal man part of your heart contact Tess.
