ing “little fierce one,” has transformed into the Malinois he was meant to be! Through a lot of love and patience from his foster and the ABMR community rallying around him. Are you the person to continue the work his wonderful foster began? Lorcan came into ABMR malnourished at only 31.4 lbs, but he is a happy 70-ish pounds at his last vet visit. Now that he is in good health and his treatment has concluded, he is very much a typical Malinois! He will need continued patience as he can startle with sudden, loud sounds, but he loves to howl at sirens. Lorcan thrives on routine for feeding and potty time, so if you love a good regimen, Lorcan is your man! He would be good with kids 8 and older who are dog savvy. No younger children will be considered as he is still working on controlling his Malinois mouthiness, and he does have enough prey drive to chase anything that runs (not safe for small dogs, cats, etc.) . Lorcan gets along with other dogs as long as a human is there to set boundaries after very controlled introductions . He is pushy with less neutral or passive dogs, but he will shy away from the dominant ones. He has fun playing with most of the big dogs in his foster home. Lorcan is crate trained, loves to take himself for a walk by holding his leash in his mouth , and he loves a few moments of zoomies. Just make sure you have not left important items like your favorite shoes lying around for him to zoom with! Lorcan enjoys physical activity, but he may need to take some breaks on his walks or walk/runs. He is not a long distance runner, but he is a good active companion. He has mastered sit, stay, down, and wait with his foster family. Lorcan still exhibits some puppy-like behaviors and can be a bit stubborn until he trusts you, but once he does he will snuggle you all day. Velcro, anyone? ***Special Note: After Lorcan's last heartworm treatment, he began to have "fly biting" seizures. These are focal seizures and not full body. The condition does not change the fact he is a young Malinois who will need to have his mental and physical needs met, but he will need a home willing to monitor this and give daily medication. For more information about fly biting seizures, please use the link below. vcahospitals/know-your-pet/focal-seizures-and-fly-biting-in-dogs Original Notes: Lorcan was found as a stray in Atlanta, Georgia. He weighed only 31.4 lbs. at an estimated age of 3 years, heartworm positive, and hair loss around the neck as if he'd been chained. He came into rescue for treatment and recovery. ABMR thanks you for taking the time to look at our malinois available for adoption.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
