Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is a very sweet Belgian Malinois girl that came to us for rehabilitation. Almost 2 yrs old; she is the smartest girl I have known for a long time, she brings me her leash to go out, her water dish, food dish, and water pail when she needs something. She was bred to be a Cadaver Dog, but certain circumstances, unfortunately, prevented her from being what she was meant to be. Unknowingly, she was abused in the kennel, when owners were gone, so is shy to strangers. She is coming around, as you can see in the photos. I LOVE this girl, but I have a female GSD that won't let me keep her. Otherwise, for sure I would!!! She has a terrific nose on her, she is afraid of the pooper scooper and brooms, but NOT afraid of the riding lawnmower or vacuum cleaner, she follows me around, when I am running them. She loves her balls and has in the past been very ferocious on the tug. I believe she would make an awesome service dog, with someone that has the patience to give her confidence, she picks up items so gently. I have been taking her every where with me,and she is quite attached to me and trusts me, so far... I need to mention that this girl is not for the faint hearted. She will need LOTS more rehabilitation, she still scoots when in strange places and around strange people. She cannot be trusted off leash, outside of her own yard right now or she will run and never come back. A fenced yard is a MUST for this girl and NO children, Her chase drive is to much also , so NO CATS. She comes from working dog stock, so even though she is shy now, her drive is starting to come out, so someone that KNOWS Malinois is a MUST! She is starting to get mouthy. Someone that knows how to control this is a MUST! I am going to be very particular where this girl goes. Someone with alot of patience! She is VERY SPECIAL to me...She is a very different girl than the one that came to me a week ago already, she is jumping to greet me instead of her tail tucked and ready to flee at the end of the leash. She is now looking to me for comfort.
