Cain is an 8 month old Belgian Malinois who was recently brought into the Humane Society of the North Bay in Vallejo as a stray. He weighs about 52 lbs. and appears to be in good health.
Cain is a good-natured, intelligent boy. He meets new people with ease, and does not shy away from strangers. While he can be jumpy and a little mouthy, he is very responsive to correction and his behavior improves when he is moved into a more relaxed environment.
He has tested well with other dogs and enjoys a good game of chase with a little gentle wrestling on the side. He shows interest in cats but he has not been fully tested in that area. Cain enjoys going on walks but could benefit from some leash training. If his human companion dawdles he has been known to tug on his leash to get his handler's attention. Fortunately, Cain is smart and food-motivated, so training should be a breeze. He has already well on his way to mastering simple commands like "sit" and "come".
As a young and active pup, Cain would do best with someone who could provide him the physical and mental stimulation he needs to thrive. Malinois are highly intelligent, active dogs that require a big training and exercise commitment. Without those needs met, the breed will become destructive, nervous, and naughty. But with the right handler, Cain will definitely earn his "good boy" badge. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 49 Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
