ler’s dream . He is people focused and wants to learn. You absolutely can teach old dogs new tricks! Or at least he is ready to brush up on his old ones. No one really knows what Johan (meaning “champion”) has in store for the future. Johan is a Malinois who found himself in a shelter when his owner had a medical emergency. When no one came for him, he found himself on the euthanasia list. He was a favorite at the shelter, so much so that when our evaluator showed up, he was MIA. Come to find out, he was assisting with clerical duties in the shelter office . While he does better with slow, appropriate introductions on neutral territory when he meets new people, he LOVES the attention he receives. Just keep the pressure off and follow his lead; he is a Malinois after all. This is a dog who wagged his tail on the exam table at the vet once everyone passed his examinations! Peanut butter? That’s another key to his heart. Johan’s preferred rewards for hard work include treats, ball play, and the aforementioned peanut butter. When out on woodland walks, he will also locate lost toys and bring them back home. This Maligator is smart as a whip . After a week in foster, he knows sit, place, down, and is getting a leash manner refresher. Ball is life, but he also loves to play with the resident Tervuren. While he can be a little forward with her, he takes her corrections well and will back off when asked. Johan comes with a fabulous off switch once his mind and body are exercised! Due to Johan’s prey drive and protective nature, he will NOT be placed with children younger than 13 or small, prey sized animals (cats, chickens, small dogs, etc.). He needs a family who understands the necessary boundary setting and exercise for a working line dog. Don’t let Johan’s age fool you. The shelter and veterinarian estimate that he is 8-years-young, but upon meeting him, you would swear he’s only 4 or 5. 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.
