Belgian Malinois puppies and dogs in Hamilton, Ontario

QUICK FACTS Name: Avan Age: 1 Year Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Malinois–Jindo Mix Color: Tan with black muzzle Weight: 12kg / 26.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from the euthanasia list at the Miryang City Shelter in Korea. Although the shelter environment was unfamiliar and overwhelming at first, I showed gentle curiosity toward people even on my first day after rescue. With time, stability, and kindness, I’m continuing to adjust and learn what it means to feel safe.   MY PERSONALITY My name is Avan. I’m a quiet, thoughtful boy with a calm presence. I may seem a little shy at first, and while I’ll accept treats right away, I prefer to be touched once I’ve had time to feel comfortable. I’m not overly clingy or expressive, but I enjoy being around people in a steady, reassuring way. You could describe me as an “aloof but kind son” — I may not constantly ask for attention, but I like knowing my people are nearby and I form gentle, trusting bonds over time.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS • With People: I can be cautious around unfamiliar people and may bark when meeting someone new. With time and treats, I warm up and allow handling. I can be picked up comfortably. I have not yet met children under 13. • With Dogs: I’m friendly and social with other dogs and will approach both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello. I tend to feel comfortable around dogs similar to or larger than my size. If another dog provokes me, I may respond, so slow and supervised introductions with new dogs are important. • With Cats: I have not yet been tested with cats. (A cat test can be conducted upon request to ensure the best fit.)   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy outdoor activities and walks, and once I’ve had enough exercise, I settle down calmly indoors. I generally follow my handler well on leash, though I may pull at times. Since my walking experience is still limited, I may freeze or lie down when I encounter something unfamiliar or scary. With patient guidance, my confidence continues to grow.   TRAINING & HABITS I do not guard food from people or other dogs. I may bark when I want something or when meeting unfamiliar people. I’m calm and well-behaved in a kennel and adapt well to routines. With consistency and positive reinforcement, I continue to make steady progress in a home environment.   MY IDEAL HOME I would do best in a calm, understanding home that allows me to settle in at my own pace. I would thrive with: • A patient family who respects my quieter personality • Gentle guidance and consistent routines • Supervised introductions with new dogs • A stable environment where trust can build naturally   SPECIAL NOTES Avan is not a dog who demands attention, but he quietly enjoys companionship and forms meaningful bonds over time. He has a reserved, “quiet son” kind of charm — steady, observant, and gentle with his people. For a family who appreciates a calm, thoughtful companion rather than an overly expressive one, Avan will be a deeply rewarding presence and a loyal part of the household.   Avan's Youtube Playlist Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.com ##2633200##

QUICK FACTS Name: Adele Age: About 3 Years Old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Malinois Mix Color: Brown with Black Muzzle Weight: 22kg / 48.5lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I once waited quietly in a city shelter, not knowing what tomorrow would bring. Each day felt uncertain, and my future seemed to grow smaller with time. Then, just when hope was fading, someone reached out for me. I was rescued from the euthanasia list and given the chance to start over. Since then, I've been discovering a different kind of life—one filled with kindness, comfort, and people who believe in me. Now I spend my days looking ahead, ready to make new memories and share my gentle heart with those around me.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Spayed & healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I may look a little serious when we first meet, but don’t let that fool you—I’m actually a soft-hearted girl with a wonderfully sweet side. Once I feel comfortable, I turn into a total cuddle bug who loves attention, gentle affection, and sneaking in a few kisses whenever I can. My adorable sausage-shaped figure and slightly goofy expressions seem to make people smile, and I’m perfectly happy to lean into the charm. At home, I’m wonderfully relaxed. After enjoying a nice walk and settling into the day, you’ll often find me stretched out somewhere cozy, happily catching up on my beauty sleep. I’m the kind of companion who brings a calm, comforting presence to a home—always nearby, always sweet, and always ready for a little affection when the mood strikes.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but I’m happy to accept treats and start getting to know you at my own pace. Once I feel comfortable and have had a chance to build some trust, I enjoy gentle affection and allow handling without trouble. I’m comfortable being picked up with support under my belly, and although I haven’t had the opportunity to meet children under 13 yet, I continue to grow more confident as I experience new people and situations. · With Dogs: When I meet a new dog, I’m usually happy to walk over and exchange a polite greeting, but I’m not much of a playgroup type. I tend to feel most comfortable around calmer dogs, especially those who are smaller than me, while very energetic dogs can sometimes make me feel a bit overwhelmed. Although I generally prefer to mind my own business, I may react if another dog is confrontational, so careful introductions with unfamiliar dogs help me get off to a good start. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have low energy level – I‘m a calm and easygoing dog who enjoys taking life at a relaxed pace. Most of the time, you’ll find me happily lounging nearby and taking things easy. On walks, I can occasionally get a little eager and pull on the leash, but I stay connected to my person and generally follow along well, making me a pleasant companion to spend time with.   TRAINING & HABITS I have a gentle, easygoing nature and don’t feel the need to guard my food around people or other dogs. I’m generally a quiet companion who rarely barks I settle comfortably when resting in a kennel. I have flexible bathroom habits, as I’m accustomed to both indoor pee pads and going outside.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together A family that will love and cherish me forever   SPECIAL NOTES I can be a little nervous around men at first and may need some extra time to feel comfortable. I do best when people let me approach at my own pace and allow trust to develop naturally. Once I realize I’m safe, I gradually relax and begin to show my sweet and gentle personality.    ADELE'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2755802##

Name: Rex Breed: Dutch Shepherd x Malinois (as per previous owner) DOB/Sex: Jan 4, 2024/M Known Health Issues: None at this time. Good With: Currently Rex is best suited for an only pet home. Please see bio. ADULT ONLY HOME. NO DOG PARKS. *Bite History* *AVAILABLE AS FOSTER TO ADOPT* Rex is a fun loving, goofy, giant ball of energy with a lot of opinions. He has been through a lot in his young life, and is ready to take a well structured path forward. Rex arrived in rescue explosive, unsure, and used to throwing his weight around. He is a big, tall boy, currently about 83lbs, and an absolute bulldozer. He had no respect for leash pressure, and was very disconnected from his handler. Since arriving he has made fantastic strides. His personality has really started to come through, and he is enjoying trying new things, and his confidence grows with each outting. He is very much a work in progress, but I feel it would be beneficial to him, and his future home, to start working together now, to hopefully have a smoother transition when he is 100% ready. Rex is currently not other animal safe. I have seen hints which suggest to me that he may be able to co-exist with another dog in the home at some point, but it will be a VERY long intro process. He is very reactive to all other animals. He is just now neutral with the dogs here at the rescue. It has taken many months to get to this point. Unfamiliar dogs elicit an explosive response. I will not place him with prey or livestock animals in the home. He unfortunately suffered many dog attacks as a puppy, which has led to this reactive stance. It is a work in progress, but he has made great improvements. Rex has come a long way with his people reactivity. He prefers women to men, but there are men he likes. He has had many boundaries crossed again as a young pup, and unfortunately was forced to make poor choices when his needs weren't acknowledged. I'm happy to discuss his bite history with any approved applicants, and do not believe any of the situations reflect on him as a whole. I will not spend time discussing him with tire kickers, so unless I have an application in hand, questions will not be answered. If you are serious about working with a dog like Rex, please fill out the application, and make sure your answers are comprehensive. Rex is a powerhouse, and just starting to tap into his potential. He has plenty of energy, but does settle well with a good routine. He is excellent in his crate, and very clean. He is medium drive, with prey being the strongest. We are working on building good tug, and toy engagement. He loves his toys, but prefers to run away with them. He is learning they are more fun if you engage back with your handler. His food drive is moderate, and could definitely be built further. Rex requires an experienced, working/sport dog owner. He is a project dog, but with the potential to go far. Due to his insecurities he is not a bitework candidate. As his handler engagement builds, I can see him enjoying obedience or rally type activities. We have played around with disc rollers and he enjoys the chase. We have done one scent session at the time of this writing, with Vita K9, and plan to continue. And today, at the time of this writing, he has officially learned to swim, and shows the drive to become a great dock diving dog! He is a dog, that with proper guidance and handling, could enjoy many different activities. I will only place him with someone who is looking to continue to build him up, and expand his world. Rex has proven to be very easy to live with. He loves routine, and patterns quickly. He travels well, and will definitely let you know if anyone wakks too close to the car, lol. He leash walking is improving, but not great. He is starting to offer check ins. He needs work on new environments/activities and surfaces, but gets better and faster at acclimatizing with every outing. His body handling is improving significantly. Initially he was highly suspicious of any touch. He is now good with everything but his feet. He would get very mouthy/crocodile roll etc to avoid foot handling. This is improving with patterning and repetition. He loves to train, so that part makes it easy! He has had 2 successful vet trips for his initial wellness/vaccines/bloodwork, and then follow up boosters. We muzzled as a precaution, but he did very, very well. Understandably nervous/tense, but no attempts at bad choices. We did sedate at his second visit, but only so that I could do a proper, really good nail trim for him. I wanted to get his nails to a good starting place, since his feet are such a point of contention for him. He should not need to be sedated for general exams, and handling. I have seen no resource guarding or similar issues. Due to his bite history, no homes with persons under 18 will be considered. My ideal situation for him at this time, is an adopter that is willing to start working with him, with their trainer, but will take it in baby steps. I want to see a relationship built with him, before he moves out. I am considering him "foster to adopt" for this reason, though it is not quite the usual scenario. He needs a calm, confident handler, that will continue to guide him, and give him the chance to be the best version of him he can be. It is important that a solid relationship is there, before finalizing his adoption. I want to see him succeed, as well as his adopter. If you think you that you are the one for him, please complete an application here: https://form.jotform.com/233466598767073 ________________________________ Adoption through Inugoya includes: - the dog - All vaccinations & required boosters; DA2PPv, Bordetella, Lyme, Leptospirosis, and Rabies - 4DX Blood Test (Heartworm, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis) - Age appropriate wellness blood screen - Fecal test - Deworming & Flea/Tick/Heartworm prevention - Spay/Neuter - Microchip - Hip xray for all dogs that undergo anesthesia - All medical needs assessed and concluded.

Pike is a big, handsome, and very intelligent Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd mix. He inherited his larger, expressive head from the German Shepherd and his active, clever nature from the Malinois. He is a friendly, people-oriented dog who learns quickly and loves being part of the action. Pike enjoys toys, balls, interactive games, belly rubs, and relaxing on his back for attention. Highly food motivated and eager to please, Pike knows several commands and responds well to training and handling. He walks nicely on leash, rides calmly in the car, and is both house-trained and crate-trained. Pike shows no food aggression and remains calm around people and other dogs while out and about. Pike does well with female dogs but can be selective with male dogs. He is not suitable for a home with cats. This active boy is looking for a family that can provide regular exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment. While he would love a yard, he could also thrive in an apartment if his physical and mental needs are met. If you're searching for a loyal adventure partner, Pike may be the perfect match.
