Story
Kashmir is a patient, understanding dog and a purebred Belgian Malinois, though much larger than average for the breed. At about 115 pounds, he’s all muscle and very tall for a Malinois. He was originally rescued by my mother from an experienced owner who, due to health issues, could no longer give him the care he deserved. Sadly, my mother is now facing her own health challenges and is unable to properly care for him as well. Kashmir is wonderful with children and gets along well with other pets. That said, he is still a working dog at heart and needs proper structure, exercise, and engagement to truly thrive. While he’s become a bit lazy over the years (for a Malinois!), he is very intelligent and highly trainable once you rebuild his drive and motivation. Im an experienced dog handler, but I dont have the space he needs, so Ive taken on the responsibility of finding him the right home. He has so much potential and would do best with someone familiar with the breed.

Story
Rip a 4 yr old, Malinois/Belgian Shepherd mix. He is a big boy at 90lbs. Rip is very intelligent and eager to please. He is very food motivated. He knows many basic commands, including sit, touch, down, paw and is working on roll over. He is also crate trained. Rip enjoys going on long walks with staff and volunteers. Rip's walking ability has received glowing reviews, as our walkers have told us he is one of the most enjoyable dogs to walk. Rip enjoys human interaction, and will ask for attention and affection at any given opportunity. Like any good dog he loves a butt scratch, a belly rub and a head pat. As for other dogs, Rip is selective. He enjoys the company of a dominant female, who can doll out and receive some rough and rowdy play. As much as he loves kids of all ages, due to his size and general doofiness a home with children is not recommended. Rip is also not suitable for a home with cats. For more information on Rip Wheeler, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for a pre adopt application. Adoption fees for Dogs (8yrs and up) is $150 Adult Dogs is $400 and Puppies under a year is $500

Hi ! The pup is loving and rambunctious. He is independent, intelligent, playful and perceptive. He likes his food and is not very patient with it. He gets good exercise with the other dog. He has to be taken out every few hours. He enjoys hanging around the yard but also enjoys the great indoors. He loves snuggling with the other dog and myself but is also independent. He will be great with a family with kids and dogs. But he also needs a trainer as he is very intelligent and likes to do things, obey commands etc. Thank you !

Story
Chai is a 3 month old Belgian Malinois mix. She's the perfect mix of spice, warmth, and sweetness. She has lots of energy, just what you’d expect for her age and breed and she absolutely thrives on activity, training, and mental stimulation. She is doing wonderfully in her foster home and is being crate trained and working on being housebroken. Due to her breed, we require adopters to have prior breed experience and be committed to providing the structure, exercise, and training that a Belgian Malinois mix needs to thrive. If you're interested, please apply at almosthomeli.org

Story
Meet Tommy & Baby a bonded pair looking for their fresh start together. These two were part of a local rescue our team facilitated in Queens. Both are about 3 years young, good with other dogs, and would do best in an adult-only home for now. Because of their past, Tommy and Baby need a super special adopter. We believe they were previously abused and mostly lived outside, so they require a home with significant breed experience and rescue-dog savvy. They will need continued training, exposure, and structure as they settle into their new lives. Tommy is a handsome, confident boy, while Baby is more timid around people and needs time to warm up — but she blossoms with patience and understanding. Together, they bring out the best in each other, which is why we are committed to placing them as a bonded pair. If you are interested in meeting Tommy & Baby, please submit an adoption application directly on our website. Note: we will not process applications without proper breed and overall experience.

These pups are in West Haven, Connecticut too!

Story
Name: Bates Age: 5 years Breed: German Shepherd mix Size: Large Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Bates is a 5-year-old German Shepherd mix with a strong presence and an even bigger heart. Bates came into our care as a stray. He was adopted from us back in 2022 but unfortunately lost his way and was missing for quite some time. His previous owners had moved away and gave us the permission to be able to find him a new forever home. Loyal, attentive, and incredibly smart, he’s the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with his people and takes his role as a companion seriously. Once he knows you’re his person, you’ll have a devoted friend for life. He enjoys staying active and would love a home where he can stretch his legs, explore, and spend quality time with his family. Like many shepherds, Bates thrives when he has structure, engagement, and someone who appreciates his intelligence and loyalty. At five years old, Bates has the perfect balance of maturity and energy. He’s past the puppy chaos but still ready for adventures, making him an excellent companion for someone looking for a steady, faithful partner by their side. Bates is already neutered, up to date on vaccines, and is heartworm negative. Bates's $300 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports! --> If you are interested in adopting Bates please fill out our online application here: (https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 - Dog).
