Zale
ADOPTED 11/24/2017!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Zale found himself in a shelter after being picked up as a stray. He is a very handsome young Belgian Malinois. Right now he is skittish and scared, which comes with all of the changes he has been through. He is being given time to adjust to his new surroundings. While Malinois' may look similar to German Shepherds they are not the same dogs. They are often times high energy requiring extended daily exercise and activities, they need ongoing training and socialization with people and other dogs. They are active, loving and enjoy having a job. Malinois' are not for someone who is looking for a laid back, couch potato. Zale will need a family that can meet his needs both physically and mentally.
Updates:Zale is a very friendly guy. He is non aggressive to other dogs and friendly with all people. He hasn’t spent much time inside and is learning about stairs, doors and reflective surfaces. Despite this, his manners are pretty good - he lets you know when he needs to go out, was impeccable at the vet and will only chew on his dog toys. He is a high energy boy and wants to go go go! Yet he is also happy to climb into your lap for a shoulder hug and a few kisses. If you’re looking for a hiking or running partner and want a loving companion- Zale is you dog!!
Zale has been introduced to many new things and has proven to be curious and not reactive. He has met kids, big and toddler size, cats and very small dogs; he has been to the pet store and behaved impeccably; and he has good leash manners and has mastered the “release” command. Everyone who meets him says he is beautiful, sweet and love his hugs and kisses. He likes to chew and needs options so he doesn’t pick the wrong thing to chew like his dog bed. He crates well and is a quick learner. What is not to love about Zale?!
Swemi

Good With Kids: Yes

Swemi was surrendered to us as her person was moving to care for their elderly parents. She lived with children and another large dog. Swemi is in a foster home getting use to her new surroundings. She is confused right now and looking for her family, but with time she will move forward.
Swemi walks nicely on a leash.
Kimbra
ADOPTED 11/22/2017!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Kimbra was found as a stray along with Admiral. We are not sure if they lived together but they seem very close and enjoy each other's company. From what we know of her so far, she seems sweet with a friendly disposition, she is good with other dogs. Of course she will need to attend training classes so that she can be the best she can be, training also helps with creating a strong bond with her new family.
Updates:
I had the pleasure of walking Kimbra this morning. She is so sweet, smart, and loving. She loves tummy rubs and smiles while she revels in the joy. She walks well on leash, too. She knows sit, down, and roll over.
Tago
ADOPTED 11/18/2017!

This handsome boy is done with being a wanderer, he is ready to settle into a home with a new family. He is pretty chill, a quiet passenger in the car and super friendly. Yes, he needs to learn some leash manners along with other good canine manners, but that will come with training which is required. Ask to meet handsome Tago.
Otto
ADOPTED 11/18/2017!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Sweet Otto made his way to us from a family that cared for him after he was dumped on their property. We have no information about his past. He is a very nice boy but very scared at this time. Obviously all of the changes have him unsettled. He is now in a caring foster home being provided with comfort and time to decompress. Once Otto has settled in we will post updates.
Otto's foster reports that being in a home seems new to him. He is frightened by the stairs and going through doorways. He has no idea what to do with toys. He has come out of his shell with one of the resident dogs, they enjoy romping around and playing. His foster dad is working with him daily to help him become more confident.
Otto is continuing to make progress; he has mastered stairs and is getting calmer going through doorways. He gets along well with the four large GSDs in his foster home. When Otto first arrived in his foster home, he would constantly hide in the back of his crate and had to be urged out for any activities. Otto has become much more confident over the last two weeks; he is comfortable wandering the house, taking walks around the property and prefers to nap in the corner of the living room rather than in his crate. Over the last couple of days he started to play with chew toys and is taking tentative first steps playing fetch. Although shy with new people, he is very affectionate and attentive with his foster.
