My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Zara!

Adult Female Belgian Malinois

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE INQUIRING!

Zara was found as a stray and is ready for a fresh start with the right home. She’s a sweet Malinois girl who needs someone who understands the breed and is excited to help her continue learning. She is currently being fostered by a professional dog trainer, which has given her a great foundation.

About Zara:
• Appears dog selective but not aggressive — slow, proper introductions with a male dog may work
(No other females recommended unless the adopter is very experienced with dog introductions)
• Crate trained, but requires a heavy-duty kennel (Ruffland, Dakota, KBC, or similar — no wire or flimsy plastic crates)
• Loves chew toys and is still learning how to play with toys and tug
• Food motivated and eager to learn
• Social with people but under-socialized — she loves attention and will happily jump up to be held
• Clacks her teeth (very common in Malinois and not aggression)
• Lower drive for a Malinois, but still displays typical Malinois behaviors
Ideal Home:
Zara would thrive in a dog-savvy home with someone looking for a “light project dog.” She does not need — and is not recommended for — a sport home, but she does need structure, boundaries, and a commitment to meeting a Malinois’ needs through training, enrichment, and routine.
She’s sweet, a little quirky, and full of potential for the right person.
