ue. While in their care, we got her UTD on shots and she was spayed. Calusa is newer to rescue and is an absolutely drop-dead GORGEOUS malinois. At about four years old, she is a sturdy 65-70lbs and isn’t afraid to throw her weight around. Even for a malinois, Calusa is a different breed. This girl is strong-willed, high spirited, and not for the faint of heart. High toy drive, high food drive, and high prey drive. She will constantly test boundaries, push you to your limits, and push through her own. Calusa is not recommended for a home with other dogs, cats, or young kids. She is not the dog for an inexperienced handler or first time malinois owner. She will become possessive of her toys and food, chase cars down the road, seek and destroy small animals, and aggressively dominate any other dogs. Her prickly exterior does have a soft center though! Outside of her bubble (on walks or in public), Calusa is friendly with new people and will jump up onto people to lick them. In the home, Calusa loves cuddling on the couch with her person, sleeping in bed with them, and getting belly rubs. She does respect barriers/thresholds, if enforced, and is kennel trained. Calusa is likely best suited for a home with an experienced handler/dog trainer. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription. If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application at this link petstablished/adoption_form/24689/generic. *********************************************************************** We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location. Our home address is in Michigan, however, the majority of our dogs are not located in Michigan. The physical location of each dog is posted with the name of the pet or in the title area. If you are within 4 hours of the pet, please be prepared to pick the pet up. We do provide transport assistance up to 350 miles. The applicant must drive the remainder of the distance of the transport. The basic information that we have available is in our posting, but sometimes fosters will post updates on the MAD Rescue Facebook page as well, .facebook/groups/malinoisanddutchshepherdrescueinc. If you would like to further inquire on this animal, please fill out this application. Applications that are completed in our process and being considered as a match will speak to the foster home to gain more information about our adoptable dog. If you have questions about this pet please contact us at infoMADrescueinc. You may also call our toll free number at 844-MAD-RESQ or 844-623-7377.

  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.
