Rocky: The Pocket-Sized Malinois with Big Energy Name’s Rocky. I’m a 2.5-year-old Belgian Malinois, tipping the scales at just 49 pounds. That makes me a little smaller than most of my kind, but don’t let my size fool you—I’m still every bit the classic Malinois package: smart, energetic, and always up for action. I was relinquished by my owner, so now I’m looking for someone who understands a dog like me. I thrive on play—chase, tug, fetch—you name it, I’m in. I’m a good listener, too, especially when you give me a job to do. Car rides? Love them. Anxiety? Not my thing. Other dogs? They're my buddies! Here’s the real talk: I need a person who can guide me, set boundaries, and help me channel all this brainpower and energy into something positive. With the right structure, I’ll be your loyal adventure buddy and snuggle partner all in one. Older kids are fine by me. Shots are up to date, I’m neutered, and I’m ready to start fresh. If you’re looking for a smaller-sized Malinois with a big heart and even bigger potential, I’m your guy.   ##2347586##

Story
Hello, Future Family! Ready for some love, cuddles, and playing fetch? MALIBU: READY TO RUN, READY TO LOVE Hi, I’m Malibu—part pittie, part Malinois, and all heart. I’m sweet, spunky, and ready to find a human who matches my vibe: active, committed, and looking for a loyal best friend. At just around 2 years old, I’ve got energy to spare and a brain that loves to work. I need both physical and mental exercise every day—walks, runs, puzzle toys, training games, you name it. When I don’t get that outlet, I get restless. A long stay in a kennel is not my thing. I’m built for adventure, connection, and movement. ‍ Let’s move: Whether it’s hiking, jogging, or biking, I’m up for it. I love to run alongside your bike, match your pace, and take in the world by your side. I’m a smart cookie: I listen to commands and love learning new things. Give me a challenge, and I’ll rise to it. Kid compatibility: I do well with older kids (16+). The little ones? They’re cute, but their unpredictability can make me nervous. Cats: Hard no. They move too fast, and I’m just too tempted to chase. House skills: I’m crate trained, very clean, and doing great with potty training. Personality check: I’m playful, focused, and super excited about life. I’ll be your loyal shadow, your running partner, and your cuddle bug once we’ve bonded. I do best as your one and only—but with me, you won’t need anyone else. Details: About 1.9 years old High energy Spayed Up to date on shots Best in an active home with older kids. Dogs? Only if it's a proper pairing.  Ready to see what life could look like with a sweet, driven girl like me? Let’s go. I’ve got the energy—and the love—you’ve been missing. Let’s thrive together. Fully vetted, vaccinated, and house-trained Professionally trained in basics (sit, stay, walking on leash, etc) – includes 1 FREE trainer session at trainer's location for adopters Foster-to-adopt option available – all costs during fostering are covered by us - food, medical, etc ##2257161##

Story
Beautiful BLACK BEAUTY  Beauty came to rescue with a bad break in her leg that had to have surgery and is now healthy and walking around like the champ she is! Beauty lives up to her name both in looks and personality. She's beautiful, playful, and has a lot of energy so she will need a couple of good walks and runs. Talk about a balanced individual! A fenced in backyard would be great so she could play ball and run around. Her new potential family would have another dog for her to play with, and no cats - as she thinks it’s fun to chase them, not cause injury but she thinks it’s a game of who is faster.  She would be good for a family with children, as she is gentle and loving and very affectionate.  Got inquiries about Beauty?

🐾 Meet Waffles! 🐾 Age: 3 years old Breed: Belgian Malinois Mix Status: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions Waffles is a stunning, smart, and athletic Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever family! At 3 years old, she’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and enthusiasm. This girl is incredibly sweet and eager to please, but she will thrive best with a breed knowledgeable owner who understands both the mental and physical needs of a Malinois. Waffles loves a good game of fetch, and she’ll happily play for hours if you let her. She has had professional training, which makes her a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys structure, exercise, and continued learning. Her trainer is also willing to work with her new adopters should they like to continue her training. Like many Malinois, she has prey drive and will definitely keep the squirrels out of your yard. With cats, she’ll need slow, careful introductions. If they run, she may want to chase. She does well with other non-dominant dogs, but proper introductions are important to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion who will love adventure as much as she loves downtime with her people, Waffles could be the perfect match. 💌 Could Waffles be your new best friend? Apply today and give this amazing girl the home she deserves! $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transportation to your area)

Story
I got Maevis at 6 weeks old from Craigslist through a backyard breeder. I will admit, I was very unprepared to handle a high needs dog, and for this, I have a lot of regret. She has been my baby for nearly 3 years now, but due to complications with my living situation, I have to rehome her, unfortunately. She has lived with me, my now ex, his German Shepherd male, and a female cat ever since I got her. Now and then, she’ll get moody with the other dog, but it has never been detrimental. I believe she would do good in a household as a sole pet. She has separation anxiety and occasionally has accidents indoors. She doesn’t like new people at first, but will grow accustomed to you in time. I will only let an experienced dog owner who has dealt with high-needs dogs adopt her. She has a lot of energy, loves to go on walks, play with squeaky and chew toys, and loves peanut butter. She has so much love to give, and I only want the best for her moving forward in her life journey.
