If you want a protective, affectionate, smart, loyal, athletic 3 year old Belgian Malinois, then look no further, that’s me, Chester! This isn’t my first rodeo so I am looking for commitment, someone in it for the long haul. I require you to be a strong person with a soft heart. I need to look to you for comfort and security when I am feeling a bit unsure of myself. I like other girl dogs and maybe another boy if you can take it slow and introduce us properly. I haven’t met any other creatures, but I promise I’ll try to be nice. I will be your true best friend, so come on down and meet me!
As with all Malinios he will need daily mental and physical stimulation. He might do well with another dog if properly introduced. He does want to be the alpha of the pack, so it will need to be a stable well balanced dog to make it work. He has been working with Zen training and is doing very well there. Continued training is always helpful for the dog and the new adopter.
*****Belgian Malinois Adoption requirements*****
The dog you have selected is a Belgian Malinois. This is a breed that has very specific needs for an adoptive home. Because of their need for a high level of exercise, both mentally and physically and their need for ongoing training, only applicants with demonstrated owner/handler experience with this breed will be considered. The vast majority of them are not best suited as family pets, but in homes with experienced handlers knowledgeable of their needs and breed characteristics. We will not place in homes with small children or small dogs/cats.
If you can give Chester an indoor forever home, please fill out our online application on our website at http://www.savingpawsrescueaz.com/adoption-form/
We will only schedule meet and greets with an approved application. We are an all-volunteer organization. It may take a couple of days to process an application and complete reference checks.
Thank you for your interest in saving a life!
