Story
Fenyx has been settling in well into his foster home. He is super smart and wants to please, so we think he would be great for someone who likes to mold their pup into a great canine citizen! He is such a wiggle butt when learning, super eager, very puppy-like and high energy, but he does learn quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! He is learning so much: House manners Potty trained Foster works on eye contact through hand feeding Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Leave it esp around prey [all in progress vs prooved] .  He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language.  Working on luring in Heel posiitons and Loose Leash Walking Touch command Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey Ecollar conditioning Hind Leg awareness work Thresholds Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity Independent sleeping/resting - working on needing less reassurance Crate training He is quiet and clean in the crate! He does whine at times and in the car he needs a cover, but he sleeps through the night. However, he is sensitive to sounds and may bark at times esp with fireworks. He's been learning the ropes of living in a home and sharing the space with other dogs. He integrated into the foster's pack easily and quickly with proper introductions!At first, he didn't really know what to make of his foster sister's attempts to play, but he has finally given in and they love romping around the yard. It took him a bit to learn what proper play ettiquette is but he had a good teacher! So, with proper introductions, he can be good with other dogs. He would do best with dogs who are good confident teachers and overall neutral. However, he can be reactive with stranger dogs! We suspect that it's because he has not had much socialization, possibly because he was crated all his life, that he can become over-stimulated very quickly when seeing stranger dogs, prey animals, helicopters, loud bangs/noises, etc. He needs continued training to help him become more confident. His reactivity depends heavily on the situation and can range from whining to lunging. What he have learned is that the world is very just a bit too much for him still and he trigger stacks quickly. He needs a lot of downtime before he can recover. He is not meant to be a city dog, at least not for some time! He would need much work to be able to handle busy areas and passing dogs without reacting.  Fenyx loves affection, pets, cuddles, hugs from his person! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He uses his legs in the funniest ways. He will just lean on you b/c he knows you're his rock! He loves to be close and touching. He can sometimes be a trip hazard but could also be an amazing contact heeler! He's the quintessential VELCRO dog! This is a wonderful thing, but he has a high tendency to resource guard his person! Resource guarding is one of the most seen issues in this breed! Giving him too much attention/affection and too few boundaries will exacerbate his insecurities and consequently his reactivity. Hence, he is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He might enjoy scent work or NASDA as he does not let go of a scent when he catches it! His foster took him to barn hunt and NASDA intro and once he caught a wiff of the rats, he was very interested. He will need to learn to focus and then can likely hone that skill.  Ideal Home:Highly Experienced and breed-savvy home!He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, takes him on adventures in the forest vs the city and sets good boundaries! He has A LOT of prey drive - definitely will keep you safe from squirrles - but we recommend No children or small dogs or prey animals in the home. His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he is not like that with others after he bonds deeply with his human. He will need a human who really, really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in a dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world  Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match! Would that be you?   We really hope YOU are out there!  He is currently [3/28-4/11] in board and train where he is working on his reactivity! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Are you looking for a maligator with maybe half the intensity but all the charm? How about half the need to work but surely the full desire to become one with her human? And perhaps half the pointy ears but all the sugar face adorableness? Welp, meet Ducky! Ducky came into Ninja's Woof Haus Rescue after being seen roaming the streets of California for at least 45 days, found vomiting plastic and who knows what else with eating just whatever she could to survive. And who knows what life she had before then to boot... But you best believes she's getting the royal treatment she deserves in her foster home! After a full day of travel from CA to northern UT, Ducky quickly bonded with her foster momma over a couple of string cheeses.  She also quickly warmed up to her curiosity of the resident indoor cat, and with proper introductions is finding her place in the resident pack of two other female malinois and one male dutchie.  She's also been enjoying relaxed strolls on a loose leash and taking in all the sights and smells. But the best part of her finding her confidence in the foster home? When she shows off her leaps and bounds of joy running around the yard! Watching her go from the timid and dainty lil' girl to a carefree maligator just being a dog is truly the most rewarding sight one could witness. Ducky's gentle and sincere soul is ready to warm your heart for many years to come. Are you ready to let her waddle into your heart and home? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!  Completed applications that match the need of the dog will be contacted as soon as possible.

Story
Zennia is a social, affectionate girl with a big heart for people, play, and being included, especially if it means you're getting in the car! She loves car rides so much that when you walk toward a car, her whole body wiggles because she thinks it’s load-up-and-go time. This girl is confident and unbothered in the best possible way. Want to see Zennia in action? Head to YouTube https://youtu.be/g3B0YWMizPw Zennia is so fortunate and has been living in a loving foster home which she waits for her forever family. This means her foster family has had a front-row seat to the Zennia show and they shared with us so much of what they have learned about her! The first thing is the best! When asked what would make Zennia the happiest in a forever home they enthusiastically said- “A yard and a playmate!” Zennia is a wonderful playmate and truly thrives with the opportunity to run and roughhouse with a playful dog daily. The other side of that is that once Zennia has had her run/play/chase time she is more than happy to come in and relax but she needs that outlet, so a home with a playful dog friend and a big yard where she can get her energy out would be a great fit. In Zennia is both house and crate trained and benefits from regular crating. Her crate is clearly a space of calm and she enjoys the permission to “turn-off”and truly relax. In the crate she is quiet, calm, no barking, and no accidents. When Zennia isn’t getting constant attention (like during work hours), she is able to self-regulate usually taking a nap or quietly hanging out with a stuffy in her mouth. Zennia has met and lived with a wide variety of dogs from older, dominant females to small scruffy easy-going guy. Her immediate love connections have all been with dogs that equally enjoy play and are unbothered by a little rough-and-rowdy play. Her two best playdate-pals are about her size, one goofy black lab male and a female pittie with a body-builders physique. Both she runs and wrestles with, taking breaks here and there to soak in the sun before returning to a game of chase or wrestling in the grass. Zennia has shown really lovely dog-social-skills. She is respectful of boundaries, accepts even frustrated corrections, and has shown she can share treats, toys, and affection without concern. When she is working in a group for a treat she does this hilarious thing where she paws at other dogs who aren’t doing their commands, like she’s saying, “Hurry up, dude!” It makes her foster laugh every time! Zennia has been around kids in the home ages 4-17 (including a 17-year-old with Down syndrome/autism) and she is great! A few times we could see that when kids were invited over, Zennia was fast- friends with the kids- truly gravitating to them for play and connection. In the home, she has been the kind of dog who wants to meet everyone, love everyone, and recruit every dog into her “let’s play right now” agenda. She is quiet when people arrive, no barking at the door, no barking when people come in, whether she’s met them before or not. Zennia loves meeting people and seems especially fond of men. In general, she has warmed up quickly to new adults and kids who have been introduced to her and she really shines when she gets time to meet and bond with people, loving baby talk and treats. One of Zennia’s funniest quirks is her kitchen manners, because she knows she’s not supposed to cross the kitchen line… but she’ll sit right at the edge with her head peeking in like an eager little sous chef. If she can sneak in, she will try, and yes, she will beg, but she does not jump on tables or snatch food out of anyone’s hands, even with kids running around with food in hand. Zennia has been confident and unbothered by the world around her. No fear of cars, no reactivity to people and she handls normal outside noises plus things like an electric scooter without issue. She walks easily on leash with minimal corrections needed. Zennia has lived with chickens and although she can live with them if they are enclosed, she cannot be unsupervised around chickens because she will pester and stalk them, and even if she doesn’t see them, the sound of them gets her excited. Zennia will also benefit from a cat-free home, her love of chase and play does not stop when it comes to feline friends and we all know, cats do not appreciate that. If you’re looking for a dog who loves people, loves playtime,, rides shot-gun like a champ, and just needs the right combo of structure and outlets to settle into her best self, Zennia is ready and waiting to come home!

Story
Searching for a personal assistant who doesn't take notes, but does take naps? Meet Hanky: He is the ultimate definition of a velcro dog. If there were a map of your house, his favorite destination would be Right Next To You. He’s a sensitive soul who prefers a cozy hangout session over a wild party, making him the perfect companion for anyone who loves a quiet afternoon and a loyal sidekick. Wait until you see those puppy dog eyes in action Watch Hanky’s adoption video! https://youtu.be/7fFX-GAgDW8 What exactly is Hanky Pank ? While we’d love to check his family tree, as with any rescue, we’re mostly making an educated (and very cute) guess! He’s 67 lbs of pure adoration, with a heart that’s clearly much larger than his frame. Think of him as a premium, fur-covered weighted blanket that’s always ready for a snuggle. Hanky is currently flourishing in a foster home where he’s learning that the world is a pretty great place. He is a true gentleman who treats every interaction with a quiet, polite grace. When you offer him a snack, he takes it with the gentlest of touches, often following it up with a soft thank you kiss that will absolutely melt your heart. When it comes to making four legged friends, Hanky is all about the slow and steady approach. He’s a polite soul who gets along with everyone from tiny pups to big companions his own size. Hanky Pank isn’t the let’s wrestle type, he’s much more of a quiet co-exist. He prefers friends who share his chill vibe and appreciate the finer things in life, like a long nap in a patch of sunlight. He’d be a wonderful brother to a calm resident dog, but he’s also perfectly content to be your one and only and soak up all the attention for himself. Whether he’s part of a pack or your solo sidekick, Hanky just wants everyone to feel as relaxed as he is. Whether your pack includes other four legged friends or just a few favorite humans, Hanky is officially ready to move in and make himself at home. If you have a spot on the floor and an even bigger spot in your heart Hanky is ready to be your most loyal sidekick for life. What about feline roommates? While Hanky is a world-class lover, he’s decided that he’d prefer a feline free sanctuary. He is looking for a home where he can be the star of the show without any cat. Hanky’s dream home is a peaceful sanctuary where he can be the center of your world. While he’d love a yard to sniff around in, his calm demeanor makes him perfectly suited for apartment living as long as he has his favorite human nearby. There is something deeply special about winning Hanky’s heart: once he knows he’s home, he becomes a total tail wagging machine the very moment you walk through the door, greeting you with a rhythm that says, I’m so glad you’re back.

Story
From the moment you meet Lentil Lou, one thing becomes very clear...life is simply more fun with her in it. This sweet, goofy girl has the joyful spirit of an oversized shepherd puppy, paired with a heart that seems to have endless love to give. Lentil Lou is incredibly social and greets the world with pure happiness, always ready to make a new friend whether they have two legs or four. She absolutely adores other dogs and lights up during playtime, bouncing around with playful enthusiasm and charming silliness that’s impossible not to smile at. Equal parts cuddly sweetheart and playful goofball, Lentil Lou brings laughter, affection, and nonstop cuteness wherever she goes. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, companionship, and a whole lot of love, Lentil Lou might just be your perfect match. Watch her video and you'll be smitten by her: https://youtu.be/xErEmx2U-Is?si=fBol9-3XA2TNA5Ej Lentil Lou is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 48 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We do know that Lentil is as sweet as they come, and to add to her greatness, she is essentially a full-grown puppy with that adorable puppy face of hers. This little lady loves to love and adores every person she meets. The term stranger danger does not exist in her vocabulary. She is the definition of a social butterfly, and with her, you’ll have a bestie to explore with, a snuggly princess to binge-watch your favorite shows with, and the sole reason your camera roll will always be full. She has been around kids and has been nothing but gentle around young kids. We do believe that she would be happiest in a home with kids 12 and older. Lentil is very dog friendly and loves to make friends with other dogs. She has been around dogs with all different temperaments, from large dominant males to submissive quiet ladies, and her personal favorite… the playful party pups. Lentil loves to play with other dogs and has the best time romping around, wrestling, playing chase, sharing toys, and also enjoys simply hanging out. She’s not all about bringing the party vibes all the time; she appreciates downtime and relaxing at home with her new friends as well. Lentil would do great in a home with another playful dog like herself but can also be your one and only. She does not need the company of another dog to feel comfortable or open up. Lentil is a social butterfly by nature and would love to be the center of your world. Lentil is a smart gal too! She brings the brains to every training session. She is very treat motivated and eager to please. She already knows how to sit, and you can tell she is ready to learn it all just by the way she engages with her person. It’s actually pretty cute how much she wants to make you happy. You’ll see it in her video if you haven’t already. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement to go sniff something interesting or say hello to a friendly face. It’s easy to regain her focus, and she responds well to gentle reminders. Lentil is also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. She is crate trained and potty trained too! With patience, consistency, and of course treats, training with Lentil will be a fun and rewarding bonding experience for you both. Lentil would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys neighborhood walks and is looking for a super affectionate girl. If you’re someone who loves to host and have people over, Lentil will be the very first one to greet your guests. Not feeling especially social one day? That’s perfectly fine by Lentil, she’ll be happiest wherever you are. She would also make an amazing adventure buddy! Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, visit your local brewery or beach, and watch her win hearts and gather adoring fans everywhere she goes. We believe Lentil would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily meander alongside you while you garden or work around the yard. We are willing to test Lentil Lou with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
