Have you lost your shadow and need to find a new one? Think Peter Pan. Need a little sprinkle of Malinois Magic? We know just who you are looking for! Our Fergus , ABMR’s very own “ strong man ,” is ready for his forever home. Fergus is both mentally and physically tough, and he needs a family who will continue the mental and physical stimulation as well as the structure his fosters have offered to help him be his best Malinois self. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES PEOPLE AND THE AFFECTION THEY OFFER. He has even become the morning greeter at the neighborhood kidney dialysis center! After living in an outdoor kennel for several years when his owner passed away, Fergus was connected with ABMR by a good samaritan.
Because he had only been watered through a hole in his enclosure and had kibble spread onto the ground, Fergus decided he needed a self-pacification bowl. Think of a child and the blanky they carry everywhere. This is what a bowl was to Fergus. As a result, he would tip bowls over and empty them in order to carry it in his mouth, not wanting to relinquish his grip. He’s worked on that and can now drink and eat from a bowl; he is much improved on his “give” command. Fergus has learned to live and play with other dogs, but will need slow, controlled introductions. He is also a dog who would be smitten with an only dog situation. He will parallel play with the dogs in his foster home, but there is none of the typical Maligator bitey face shenanigans. Fergus knows the following commands: okay, give, leave it, walk, back, free, place, here, sit, enough, and bed (crate).
Speaking of crates, Fergus is somewhat of a freestyle artist with wire crates , so those are a no. He will need a sturdier built crate for his safety, and we are happy to discuss what works for him. He currently uses a vari kennel type crate successfully. He is not a dog to be left roaming around the home unsupervised when you are away, but he will have no issue becoming your shadow when you are home. It is easy to keep an eye on him. Are you ready for your new side-kick? A shadow not even Peter Pan could lose? Your ride-or-die? A new wellness partner? Fergus is your man!
***Absolutely no cats or small children will be considered.
ABMR thanks you for taking the time to look at our malinois available for adoption.
