Story
My wife and I recently rescued Ace from an abusive home. He is approximately 5 months old and weights 25lbs as of Oct. 13, 2024. We absolutely love the little guy, but we both work long hours and don’t have the energy or resources to accommodate him and it would be a complete disservice to such an amazing dog. We hope to find him a home that can give him what he needs and knows how to properly handle/stimulate a Malinois. Ace is a sweetheart, but will make it clear when he doesn’t want to play. He’s been standoffish with our other dog, but not aggressive. By the second night here he was fine with him, so I’d say people who have other pets will be okay, as long as they’re properly introduced.

Story
Hi! I'm Cliff! Very excited to meet you! Now the fun stuff- everything I love! Other dogs- big or small I love them all and am good at adjusting my level of play to meet them. Runs or walks- exercise is important to me. Playing tug but not a fan of fetch- I'll run after it but why throw it if you want it back? Snacks are great- I don't have any food allergies. And I bet I'd love you! Cliff(ord) came under my care in June through my job as a veterinarian. He presented to me at 9 months old for euthanasia as he had developed an abscess under his chin due to a fox tail. His owners ultimately surrendered him and elected not to take him back after surgery. He's all healed up and otherwise healthy! He is up to date on vaccines with full records available. He currently lives in my home with 3 other large breed dogs and 1 cat, all of which he gets along well with. He's had minimal interactions with young children but has done well during these. He's high energy but an absolute love bug!

Story
Name: Magno Breed: Belgian Maloinis Gender: Male About Magno: Introducing Magno, a remarkable 2-year-old Belgian Malinois whose intelligence, loyalty, and affectionate nature make him an exceptional companion. Found navigating the streets of Guadalajara, Magno was clearly a dog who had once known the comfort of a home but had been left to fend for himself. Despite his tough circumstances, Magno’s spirit remained unbroken, and he has since found solace with his rescuer, forming a strong bond and showing his true, loving nature. Magno embodies all the admirable traits of his breed: he is highly intelligent, intuitive, and deeply devoted. Known for their exceptional loyalty, Belgian Malinois form strong, one-on-one bonds with their humans, and Magno is no exception. He thrives on playtime, whether it’s with his fellow dogs or his human friends. Toys and treats are his treasures, lighting up his eyes and fueling his energetic spirit. With an investigative and observant nature, Magno delights in exploring every detail of his surroundings. His quick learning and constant thirst for knowledge are hallmarks of his breed, making him both a challenging and rewarding companion. Malinois are known for their need for mental and physical stimulation, and Magno is no different. He will flourish in a home where he is given ample exercise and opportunities to engage in activities that stimulate his mind and body. Magno’s loyalty is unwavering, but he can be protective of his person, especially around other male dogs. This trait, coupled with his alpha male disposition, means he will thrive best in a home with experience in handling Malinois or similar breeds. Magno prefers the company of female dogs or passive dogs, and he can be a great companion to an active female dog. His play can be rough, so a household with a second dog who is up for some lively interaction would be ideal. Magno’s sociable and affectionate nature shines through in every interaction. He craves cuddles and affection, reflecting the beautiful balance of giving and receiving love. This makes him the perfect companion for someone who can appreciate the depth of his loyalty and commitment. If you are an experienced dog owner ready to welcome a spirited and loving Belgian Malinois into your life, Magno is eagerly waiting to be your devoted partner. He is ready to make a lasting bond and become the loyal companion you’ve been searching for. They are currently in Mexico awaiting a family committed to a 10-day trial. If interested, please apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org. The adoption fee is $550 and includes up-to-date vaccines, a negative heartworm test, spaying/neutering, and microchipping. ##2048680##

Story
🐾 Hello! I’m Sugar! 🐾 I’m a 3-year-old male Malinois mix with a sleek black coat. Weighing in at 35 kg, I’m a big, cool, and smart pup looking for my forever home! 🐶 My Story: I was rescued from a kill shelter just in time, and now I’m ready to find a loving family. I stayed in a foster home for a year, where I was friendly and had a good relationship with my foster mom. 🏡 My Personality: • I’m quite shy around strangers, but give me 3 days to a week, and I’ll become friendly. 🤗 • I like to greet other dogs, but I don’t always play with them. 🐕 • I’m generally friendly towards dogs my size or smaller. 🐾 • I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. 🐱 • I enjoy outdoor activities but also love to rest quietly afterward. 🌳 have plenty of walking experience and follow people well without pulling on the leash. 🚶‍♂️ • I don’t guard my food against people or other dogs. 🥣 • I’m a quiet boy and hardly ever bark. 🐾 • I’m calm when put in a kennel. 🏠 • I generally only do my business outside. 🚽 Important to Know: • It takes time for me to build a relationship with strangers, usually 1 to 2 weeks. 🕒 • I’m not food-motivated and don’t take snacks from strangers. 🍪 • I might seem unmannered or too aggressive with other dogs because I think I’m a small dog and try to play with them. 🐶 • Other dogs might be intimidated by my behavior because of my size. 🐕 Fun Fact: I’m very cool and smart, showing all the characteristics of a Malinois.🦴 If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and affectionate companion, I’m your guy! Let’s make some wonderful memories together. 🏡❤️ Love, Sugar 🐾🖤

Story
🐶 Quick Facts 🐾 • Name: Gongtan • Age: 1 year old • Gender: Male • Neutered: Yes • Breed: Malinois mix • Colour: Black (99%)/white (1%) • Weight: 23kg 🐕 Me and Humans👨🏻 Ain't no German Shepherd, ain't no Jindo. I am Gongtan, one year old Malinois mix boy, weighing 23kg. I am covered with 99% sleek black coat. I am an energetic and social boy, always welcoming hoomans and furry friends. Whether they are strangers or my friends, I politely greet everybody and allow them to rub and pet my back. Holding me under by belly is also possible. Not just grown ups, but I get along very well with kids under 13 years 👶🏻 old. They are soooo fun to play with! But I know I should not jump on strangers, seniors, kids, or hoomans that fear me. Instead, if hoomans want to give me a hug, I will gently rely myself on them. It is going to feel like I am melting on you! 🐕With Dogs and Cats🐕 Just like my hooman friends, I also approach to my furry friends because I want to play with them. Some furry friends not necessarily want to play with me and if that is the case, I do not bother them. Personal space matters!!! I consider cats🐱 as my friends too. I have lived with a cat named Rectol for months and we were very good friends! Just like how I would hang around with my own kind, when Rectol did not feel like playing with me, I did not bother him at all. Sometimes when Rectol punched my face 😾 (whether it was an accident or not...?), I did not take it personally because he was my friend haha. We always slept in the same bed and had no issue at all. During walks, I have seen other cats and of course I took a quick glance, but I did not go crazy or anything. 🔋 Energy & Activities & Walks🚶‍♀️ In terms of my energy level, I am very active! It must be my Malinois gene where I need to do a lot of outdoor adventures to stay calm at home. I usually visit doggie gym twice a week where I can run freely all day and often visit dog cafes to meet new friends. As long as I get my daily exercise, I can stay calm but if not, I might bite things like plushies, electrical plugs, papers, etc. So, in case you cannot take me outside, just remember to provide me with toys that I can play and bite. Did you know that I love walking 🚶‍♀️? I might pull on the leash a bit, but I will be under your control and guidance! I have experience walking with several volunteers and strangers and I got a lot of compliments! My current foster pawrent unfortunately had a car accident not too long ago and is unable to walk or guide my other friends, but I have no problem with my pawrent as I know how to control myself under circumstances. ❤️Car Rides & Crate❤️ Since I was a very little puppy, I was crate-trained but I cannot exactly tell you if I am still good inside crates because I eventually got too big and had no chance to get inside one for a long time. I will probably need to get tested again but I was good before! Cars? 🚙 Oh man... I used to throw up 🤢 before during my car ride (especially when I ate before the ride) but it has gone much better. I can now eat during my car ride and know how to get inside the car by myself. 🚽 Guarding & Potty Break & Barking🐾 I usually do not guard my food against my hoomans but sometimes my furry friends try to eat my food while I am eating. In this case, I would bark once to back off. I normally do not bark but I might bark when there is a stranger approaching my home (my pawrent called him a delivery man. I have no idea what that means.. but they always came, left boxes, and left right away without saying hi to me!!!!). Although I can do my business 💩 inside and outside, I prefer to do it outside 🚽. For some reason I do not feel very comfortable doing my business while I am on the leash (do not ask me why because I have no idea why either) but I can easily do it while I am running or walking freely without my leash. Although I am a boy, I do not lift my leg while I pee 🟨 and of course, I never mark around. Did you know that I sometimes experience indigestion when I am exposed to a new environment or to new food/treats🍪? You will have an idea when my stool seems to be a bit liquidy🌊. If this ever happens, there is no need to worry about it. Just give me some probiotics as it could help. 💌Last Message 💕 I am currently living with my foster pawrent, as well as four (4) other furry friends and one (1) cat. I get along with everyone very well and have no issue at all. My pawrent usually put my kibbles in my bowl and I eat whenever I feel like eating. I love tug-of-war, and playing with plushies and balls, but I love my hoomans WAY MORE! I am a very smart boy who can live in both cities and villages. When hoomans recall, I know I must go back to them. My ideal forever home would be a place where I could actively play with my pawrents. If there is another energetic furry friend already, that would be pawsome!!! If you are looking for a clever furry companion that could actively go on hiking and lots of outdoor adventures, I will be the perfect one for you! Contact my team for more information!!!! 💕😊 📺 For more videos📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8XFFNvWfsg&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jz083kTM-NT6yZaiUiq-t4J

Story
Animal Profile: Buttercup is a 3-year-old, 55 lb spayed female "Texas Brown Dog" who joined us from Texas on 7/15/22 as an unsure adolescent. We have worked diligently with her in training to improve her confidence so she can be successful in her forever home. Foster Update: This energetic girl will do anything for a treat and very much wants to please her humans. She is building confidence; however, her anxious energy translates to reactivity at times. Off-leash she greets humans with excitement or indifference both in the house and the yard. She is doing well with the three large resident male dogs in the house after structured integration. She can play all day and has benefited from dog companions who can gently correct and/or join in her exuberance, as well as lead her in confident appropriate behaviors. She is potty trained and crate trained and often goes into her crate on her own to relax. She has demonstrated some significant prey drive toward the neighbors cat, so we think this girl will be best in a cat free home. While in foster care, Buttercup has received training from Bulletproof Balanced Training; her adopter will receive a private take-home training session. This girl is destined to be a wonderful loving member of her forever pack. Adopter Profile: Adult-only household Large breed experience preferred Secure fenced yard preferred Other dogs preferred (not required) Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $400 which includes spay, core vaccinations per AVMA guidelines, negative heartworm test for dogs 6 months and older, and microchip. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization.  Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application  November 6, 2024, 5:36 pm

Kimchi would do best in an active home who could provide her with enough stimulation to keep that brain of hers busy!

Story
Wiley is a super sweet friendly pup, loves dogs, people, and kids. He's been good with cats as well, if not a bit confused as to why they're just staring at him! He's been doing great with leash training, basic commands, and rarely has potty accidents inside. No reactivity to speak of and he's always down for a car trip. As a smart and active boy, he'd love a big family or another dog to romp with.

Story
I am rehoming my Parents pet, we got him from a puppy litter from a relative who was moving out of the Washington. We had him for 3 years now so he is 3 years old. My parents are getting older and don't have time to take care of this dog, they hardly bring him out and over feeds him. They are planning to move out of the state too, and I can't take him in due to my apartment policies and me working long hours. Coco is born with a defect on his left eye, he is a very lovable dog and companion. It will take some time for him to get used to his surroundings, but I know he will easily get adjusted. He loves to play fetch with a ball, and is potty trained. He has some seperation anxiety issues, but I have left him alone a lot whenever my parents went on vacation and while I was at work, and he seemed to be fine, no damaged to the house at all. Like I said, he will need some time to get adjusted to the new environment around him.
