Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!!

All Twelve MD Rescues, dubbed The Dirty Dozen by volunteers, have been Sponsored, and are in Foster Homes or Adopted!

The last week of March started as any other week for Rescue but that all changed on the 28th! One of our coodinators was notified by email of a *forced* owner surrender in Maryland. The original estimate was there would be 7 Malinois that would need to be taken into rescue! The final tally was Twelve dirty, covered in feces, stinking, flea infested Malinois!

All the Baltimore Malinois have been sponsored.
*UPDATE* 7/03/07
All 12 are now in Foster Homes!
Several are listed in the NE ready for adoption.

The Baltimore Malinois are now ALL in various stages of rehabilitation from recovering health to Adopted! NONE of which could have been achieved without each and every person that helped, from intake to fostering to contributing to the Rescue Expenses. All of these dogs are very fortunate to have Rescue Supporters like *Each and Every one of YOU!*

New Foster Homes are Always Needed!

The Baltimore Malinois LOVE their Kuranda Beds! Bobby Lounging

By the end of the day our Rescue machine, AKA Foster Families and ABMC Members, had kicked in! Our normal procedure with a Malinois in a shelter is to appeal for a foster home prior to obtaining the release of the Malinois. This time we did not have the option of doing that! As owner surrenders these 12 Malinois would be euthanized prior to any other dogs at the shelter. They had to be removed ASAP!

The 29th. A foster volunteer evaluated the Malinois and while all were scared each would approach her for treats and even showed some interest in the toy she took with her. A few foster offers began to trickle in but what to do with the dogs until they could be transported? They were filthy which meant before transport could even be considered they HAD to be relocated to a facility where they could be cleaned up, treated for fleas and evaluated.

Our sincere thanks goes to our Florida Coordinator, Sara Flynn-Kramer, who provided the contacts that helped locate two kennels in the NE willing to provide boarding. Thanks must go to Animal Advocates of Howard County, their donation will cover, at least in part, the initial expense of boarding.

Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue have been pillars of support. By the 31st the dogs had all been moved to temporary boarding and the work of cleaning up Malinois that were filthy had begun! When our rescued, cleaned up guys and gals continued to lay in their feces, MAGSR loaned us their Kuranda Beds, not in current use, and suddenly our dogs are using them and staying clean. Yippee! The MAGSR Volunteers are also assisting in helping us walk our Malinois. Their generosity and knowledge have been very welcome by our small group of Malinois Volunteers.

Please consider becoming the Mal Pal of one these Malinois by sponsoring all or part of their stay in rescue. Their medical expenses are going to be an estimated $250 a piece because we have no records of vaccination history or wormings, HW tests will have to be performed and they will all need to be spayed or neutered.

Foster homes are needed, please consider opening your homes to one of these beautiful Malinois. We must get them out of boarding and into homes to begin their rehabilition. Already they are opening up and becoming what each and everyone of us consider a Malinois should be. That can only get better and better once they begin to get individual attention.
