Belgian Malinois puppies and dogs in Burlington, Washington

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.

Meet Poppy the blooming beauty who is ready to plant some serious joy in your life! If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she’s giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

About AstroAstro is a handsome and high-energy three-year-old Belgian Malinois. He is people-friendly but needs a home without cats and no children under the age of 8. Our dog trainers tell us he is rather mellow for a Malinois but otherwise displays the typical Malinois personality. Astro is reportedly housebroken, and he knows how to sit. We estimate his weight at 60-65 lb. Astro needs a home with a dog-savvy family who is knowledgeable about the Malinois breed. No kids under 8No cats

About VelmaA beautiful lab/shepherd mix, Velma can be shy with new people but is also very sweet. Believed to be about a year old, she is also very smart and will sit very nicely when offered a cookie. She is quite the “Houdini” of an escape artist and is quite proficient at climbing fences, so she requires at least a 6-foot fence. Velma also needs a home without cats.ConsiderationsNo cats6-foot fence

I was found stray in Skagit County. I was playing hide and seek under a wheelbarrow and then, the next thing I knew, I was at the shelter. My stray hold will be completed Tuesday afternoon and the staff says that they will be taking applications on me because so many people want me. I am going to need ALL of the training, potty training and obedience training. Be prepared to take me to obedience training. I am going to be a big boy and I want to be a good big boy, not the annoying jumpy kind. You can get an application on our website skagithumane.org/dogs and email it to the shelter at shelter@skagithumane.org
