Fig- Located in Texas - Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dog For Adoption

View more

me is chasing a flirt pole and launching herself through the air, which earned her the nickname "Flying Fig." We wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a future dock diver in there somewhere! Fig is a people lover through and through. She enjoys meeting new people and making new friends, but can be a little cautious when navigating unfamiliar places or experiences. The good news? Once she’s experienced something new with a trusted human by her side, she builds confidence quickly and handles it much more easily the next time. She loves being part of the action and happily stays close to her people. Like any good Malinois, Fig is smart. Really smart. She learned “sit” in a single training session and is always eager to learn what’s next. She’ll thrive with a family that enjoys training, gentle structure, and helping a young dog continue to grow into her potential. We are still getting to know Fig’s energy level, but she appears to be on the calmer side for a Malinois puppy. She enjoys playtime, short bursts of fun like the flirt pole, and wrestling with her foster brother, but she also settles nicely and enjoys downtime with her people. She’s not a constant-motion kind of dog and seems to have a naturally balanced temperament. Fig is also one of those rarer Malinois with a pre-programmed off switch. As a puppy, Fig is still working on her house manners and crate training. She can already make it through the night without a potty break and is making steady progress every day. Because she loves her people, she may protest briefly when first left alone, but she is learning that her crate is a safe and comfortable space. Fig walks nicely on a leash, enjoys meeting other dogs, and has the prey drive you’d expect from a young Malinois. Most of all, she has a soft, affectionate nature that makes her incredibly easy to fall in love with. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal companion with a gentle temperament, a playful streak, and a built-in off switch, Flying Fig may be the perfect match.
