Story
Meet Sasha! This sweet, easygoing Malinois is the perfect mix of affectionate and relaxed. She’s a total people-lover who thrives on connection and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. Whether it’s hanging out at home or joining you for a casual outing, she’s just happy to be by your side. She’s also very social with other dogs and enjoys making new friends, showing a gentle and respectful play style. Her calm, friendly nature makes her a great addition to a variety of homes. She’s already crate trained and potty trained, so she has a solid foundation and transitions easily into a routine. Like many young dogs, she’s still working on her leash manners, but she’s eager to learn and continues to improve with consistency and guidance. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a chill demeanor and a heart of gold, she might just be your perfect match!

Belgian Malinois

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos
San Diego, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Personality: He’s very sweet and affectionate but does need his space advocated for him with new people. He is fun, has no separation anxiety, is very loyal and loving, and will be a great companion for his people. Education: Crate trained but sometimes will howl in the mornings, fully bathroom trained and walks well on leash Favorite Activities: Walking, hiking, running, playing tug Looking For: Home with adults only and preferably as an only dog. He is OK being alone while his people are working, so even someone working from the office would be fine! But he would also love to have someone who wants to spend time with him going for walks, hikes, and runs. He is not a couch potato and likes to be active, so he would love to continue training with someone. Special Needs/Concerns: None Videos Playlist and Social Media: Please watch some YouTube videos and Instagram posts of Ragnar living his life with TAP: Click for YouTube Click for Instagram Bio: Hi there! My name is Ragnar, and I’m a Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix of pure love. I was rescued from ESLR in Mexico, and ever since then, I’ve been ready to start my next chapter with a forever family! I’m a sweet, fun-loving, and affectionate boy in great health, and I’ve already been neutered. I absolutely love staying active – whether it’s going for walks, runs, hikes, or playing a good game of tag. I am a calm and relaxed rider in a car or truck. I usually get along well with most dogs I meet, though I haven’t had much experience around cats yet. I’d also do best in a home without kiddos and preferably as an only dog. As far as my training is concerned, I’m fully potty trained and walk nicely on a leash. I’m crate-trained, too, but tend to howl a bit in the mornings when I’m ready to start my day. I can be a little unsure when new people approach too quickly, so I’d love someone who can help advocate for me and give me time to feel comfortable in new situations. But I can become comfortable with new people with just a bit of time and patience. I would thrive in an active home where I can continue my training and stay mentally and physically engaged. While I don’t have any separation anxiety and do fine on my own, I’d love someone who’s home most of the time to keep me company. In return, I promise to be your most loyal and loving companion! My adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please apply! Ragnar’s freedom ride was graciously sponsored by Raja Dugyala!

Story
Hi I'm Xena! I am a 3-year-old Malinois Mix and I weigh 75lbs. I am a huge cuddle bug but need consistent exercise and stimulation due to my breed. My owner unfortunately has to move and she is unable to bring me but this is what she says about me! I am trained to sit, stay, down, off, guard, shake, crate & will wait until you give me the command to eat my food. I would need a little help with jumping because I get excited but I will learn with consistency. I am house trained. not crate trained due to having extreme anxiety from the shelter but with proper guidance and training I can learn. I am extremely ball and food driven. I am amazing with kids and dogs (but need to be introduced in an open setting with dogs) Cats I haven't been around. I am the best dog when it comes to grooming. I will let you brush my teeths, my fur, and trim my nails. If you want to meet me please contact my foster Wendy phone : (619)431-6117 email: wendy_231@outlook.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Personality: Kabru is a lovable, high-energy goofball who’s always ready for fun, whether it’s a long hike, a trip to the brewery, or a walk by the bay. Smart and affectionate with a mischievous streak, he thrives on attention and would do best in an active home that keeps him engaged with plenty of adventure, structure, and training! Education: Crate, leash, and potty trained! Working a little bit on improving on leash. Favorite Activities: Kongs, playing tug, and long walks with sniffs. Looking For: Kabru is looking for an active family who has the time and patience to help him become the amazing companion he’s meant to be. With the right guidance, structure, and plenty of playtime—especially with older kids or big dog friends—he’ll be a fun-loving and loyal adventure buddy! Special Needs/Concerns: None Bio: Hi, I’m Kabru! I’m a 4-year-old, 82 -pound German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. My journey started at Pasadena Humane as part of a fire relief effort before I made my way to TAP. I spent about three months in the shelter before getting my second chance, and now I’m ready to find my forever home! I’m a lovable, high-energy goofball who’s always ready for fun! I’m smart, affectionate, and love being the center of attention—but I’ll admit, I can be a little mischievous too (in the most charming way, of course). I thrive in an active home that keeps me engaged, and while I sometimes struggle with focus and have a little separation anxiety, I have so much potential! I’d do great with structure, training, and even a job to keep me busy. Whether it’s a long hike, a trip to the brewery, or an evening walk by the bay, I’m always up for an adventure! I’m already crate, leash, and potty trained, though I’m still working on getting even better on leash. Some of my favorite things? Kongs, tug-of-war, and long sniffy walks! I’m looking for an active family who has the time and patience to help me grow into the best companion I can be. I’d love a home with older kids and larger dog friends who can keep up with my energy and help show me how to be a polite gentleman. With the right guidance and plenty of playtime, I know I’ll make an amazing adventure buddy and loyal best friend. Could that be you?
