situation at a shelter, but the vet feels he has a lot of life left to live. In true Malinois fashion, no hospice needed. His name means warrior, and it is fitting considering that he has survived all the world has thrown his way! Someone gave up on him, and he was found as a stray. He is blind, was heartworm positive, and was born with something called a valgus deformity in his legs. Koa is being evaluated by an ophthalmologist to see if any of his vision can be restored in his right eye, but he can’t proceed with further evaluation until he is 6 months post heartworm treatment. Thus, the final verdict is still out. We know he will be completely blind in his left eye for the remainder of his life. His valgus deformity is genetic and cannot be corrected. It may cause him to develop early arthritis, but so far he doesn't seem to exhibit pain in his joints. Additionally, we expect him to fully recover from his heartworm diagnosis as his crate rest is finished. Koa is not overly food motivated, but if you are making his breakfast, he may counter surf a bit. A bit meaning he may jump onto the counter to supervise! He is crate trained though he prefers to be with his foster mom, and he is doing well with the resident Aussie. He also gets along well with the chihuahua and doesn’t mind having a snake in the aquarium nearby! Unbelievable for a Malinois, right? They mostly co-exist, and we are not sure if that will change. Might he want to play with another dog someday? That is a question for the future. Though he faces a lot of challenges, Koa is a sweet Malinois who still enjoys life once he is given an opportunity to get to know his surroundings and feel comfortable with the physical space and people. He will need a special adopter who can love him well and be patient as he learns that the world can be a kind place. We hope that when he is able to develop a close bond with his forever person that he will be able to learn some basic obedience. 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.
