Story

🐾 Meet Nova! 🐾 Nova is a beautiful Malinois girl with an incredibly smart mind and a big personality to match! She is eager to learn, picks things up quickly, and thrives with structure, consistency, and someone who enjoys keeping her brilliant brain busy. One of Nova’s favorite things? Other dogs! ❤️ She gets along wonderfully with her canine friends and truly enjoys their company. Nova does have some special needs when it comes to her people. She can be very particular and cautious around men, so she is looking for a female-only home, or an adopter with solid experience with Malinois, working breeds, and behavior-focused training. Her ideal person will understand her boundaries, be patient with her, and be committed to helping her continue building confidence through positive, consistent training. Nova also has a little piece of her past that makes her unique. She previously suffered from fly bites that damaged the tips of her ears, leaving her with some permanent changes to her ears. Despite her rough history, Nova is ready to put the past behind her and find the person who will love and appreciate her exactly as she is. 💜 With the right home, continued training, structure, and someone who understands her breed and personality, Nova has so much potential to be an incredible companion and loyal best friend. Nova is looking for: 🐾 A female-only home OR an experienced Malinois/working-breed handler 🐾 Someone committed to ongoing training and structure 🐾 Someone who will respect her boundaries and let trust develop at her pace 🐾 A home that understands the needs and energy of a Malinois 🐾 Canine companionship would be a wonderful bonus, since Nova does so well with other dogs! Think Nova might be your girl? 🐕💜 Apply to adopt Nova: rubywhiskers.org/adopt⁠

Khan

Belgian Malinois

Male, 6 yrs 1 mo

Naperville, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Khan! I’m a Belgian Malinois with a stoic personality and a surprisingly mellow side. I love a good walk and can happily walk three miles with you. I walk beautifully on leash, know sit, down, and stay, listen well to my name, and bond incredibly strongly with my primary person. Like many working dogs, I can be naturally possessive of the things and people that are important to me. Because of this, I’m looking for an experienced Malinois owner, an adult-only home, and no other pets. I can also be cautious around unfamiliar people, so I appreciate someone who understands my boundaries and won’t expect me to be everyone’s best friend. With the right handler, I’m loyal, responsive, well-mannered, and deeply devoted. My adopter will also have continued access to my trainer for training and behavioral support, so you won’t be figuring me out alone. I’m Khan. I’m looking for someone who understands my breed, respects who I am, and wants the incredible bond a dog like me can give. ##2284261##

Story

Hi, I’m Rocky! I’m a Belgian Malinois with everything people love about my breed packed into a slightly smaller package. I’m smart, athletic, loyal, driven, and always ready to do something with my people. I was rescued from Miami after being surrendered by my previous owner, and now I’m ready for a fresh start with a family of my own. I love staying busy. Throw a ball, grab a tug toy, take me hiking, or tell me we’re going for a car ride and I’m ready. I enjoy having both my brain and body engaged, but I also know how to settle once the fun is over. I love my people, bond deeply, and really just want to be included in your life. I’m great with other dogs and enjoy making canine friends. Older kids could also be a great fit for me. I’ll do best with someone who will give me structure, consistency, exercise, and continued guidance. Give me something productive to do and clear expectations, and I’m a very happy Rocky. I’m neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go home. My adoption fee is fully sponsored, and I’ll also go home with one month of food, two months of heartworm prevention, and a gift bag filled with toys and chews. Foster-to-adopt is available, too. I made it all the way from Miami for this second chance. Now I’m looking for the person who will make it worth the trip. ##2347586##

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Malibu! I’m about 2 years old, currently in Illinois, and I’m looking for someone who wants a dog that can actually keep up with them. I’m a Malinois mix, so I’m smart, athletic, affectionate, and happiest when I have something to do. Hiking, running, biking, road trips, training, exploring—I’m ready to go. I’m professionally trained, house-trained, crate-trained, and know my basic commands. My adopter also gets a free training session so we can start on the right foot together. I’m an active girl, but once we’ve had our fun, I’m more than happy to settle down and cuddle with my person. I’d do best with an active, experienced family with kids 16+. Cats aren’t a match for me, and I’d prefer to be your only dog or potentially live with a carefully matched canine companion. I need someone who understands that keeping my brain and body busy is part of what makes me such a great dog. I don’t want to spend my life watching adventures happen without me. I want to be right there beside you for them. I’m Malibu. Where are we going first? Fully vetted, vaccinated, house-trained & professionally trained. Free training session included with adoption. Foster-to-adopt available with food, medical care, and supplies covered by the rescue. ##2257161##

Mokena, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Luna is the kind of girl who’s ready to leave her stray days behind and settle into the safe, loved life she always deserved. Meet Luna, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois/Husky mix with a whole lot of heart and a fresh start ahead of her. Luna’s story started with a neighbor noticing her wandering loose and posting about her on Facebook. That’s when someone commented that this wasn’t the first time she had been found out as a stray. It turned out her original owner had left, and the person caring for her wasn’t able to keep her secure, so Luna kept getting out. Eventually, Luna’s original owner showed up and surrendered her to the family who had found her. They wanted to help, but with two senior dogs of their own, they weren’t in a position to keep her long term—so Luna made her way to us. Through all the instability, Luna has stayed a total love bug with people. She’s great with kids and absolutely loves attention. When it comes to canine teammates, Luna is dog selective. She may do well with the right dog, but introductions matter. Any potential forever home with resident dogs will be required to complete a meet-and-greet with all dogs currently drafted to the team, and an adoption trial will also be required to make sure everyone is truly comfortable together. One more scouting note: Luna is not recommended for homes with birds or squirrel companions. Her Husky/Malinois instincts are very much aware that those exist. 😂 Luna is ready to trade wandering for belonging and find the forever team that fits her best. 🐾 2 years old 🐾 Belgian Malinois/Husky mix 🐾 Great with kids 🐾 Dog selective 🐾 Resident-dog meet & greet required 🐾 Adoption trial required 🐾 Professional love bug 🐾 No birds or squirrel roommates, please Breed is our best guess based on physical traits and observed features and is never guaranteed.

Story

Meet Sage – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Person Sage is a beautiful German Shepherd dog born in late April with a tender heart and a quiet spirit. While some puppies charge into the world without a second thought, Sage prefers to take his time, carefully observing new people and situations before deciding they're safe. Because of his sensitive nature, Sage is looking for a patient and understanding family that will let him move at his own pace. He thrives in calm, predictable environments and needs adopters who understand that confidence can't be rushed—it grows through trust, consistency, and kindness. A confident, social resident dog is required for Sage. Having a canine companion helps him feel secure, teaches him that the world isn't so scary, and encourages him to be brave. He looks to other dogs for guidance and gains confidence from their example every day. Once Sage feels comfortable, his sweet personality begins to shine. He is affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to the people he trusts. Watching him overcome his fears and celebrate new experiences is incredibly rewarding, and the bond you build with him will be one that feels truly special. Sage's ideal family will appreciate the small victories, celebrate his progress, and understand that some of the most meaningful relationships take time to grow. In return, Sage will offer unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and a lifetime of love. If you have a patient heart, a confident canine friend, and room in your home for a puppy who simply needs someone to believe in him, Sage may be the perfect addition to your family. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Story

Meet Barrett! Barrett is a handsome German Shepherd with an estimated date of birth of April 23, 2020, and weighs 82 pounds. This loyal, intelligent boy is fully housebroken and ready to find a forever family to call his own. Barrett is the perfect blend of active and affectionate. He enjoys long walks, exploring the outdoors, and spending time in a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and take in the world around him. When the adventures are over, he's happy to relax and spend quality time with his favorite people. Barrett has done well with cats and has also been successful around other dogs. Because he can occasionally become a little mouthy when excited, he would do best in a home without small children. An experienced owner who appreciates the German Shepherd breed and can provide structure, consistency, and plenty of companionship would be an ideal match. If you're looking for a devoted companion, loyal adventure partner, and lifelong best friend, Barrett may be the perfect addition to your family. The adoption fee of $150 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size.
