part of his family. His ideal home will treat him like a member of the family—not a dog who is left outside or expected to entertain himself. He thrives on interaction, play, and being included in whatever his people are doing. And when we say this boy is smart, we mean VERY smart. Sarge has figured out how to open both his indoor and outdoor kennels, so secure confinement is a must. He can also climb chain-link fencing and scale a wooden fence when left outside alone. Interestingly, he does not tend to attempt these escapes when someone is outside with him. Sarge has very high energy and is a dominant male dog who still needs continued work on his manners and training. He is intelligent, eager to engage, and loves to have a job. He enjoys playing with balls, chasing toys, and absolutely loves his hanging rope outside. His current caregiver spends around 3 hours a day playing with him, so his future family needs to be prepared to provide plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation, training, and interaction. Sarge is looking for an active family who wants to include him in their life. He would do best with people who understand the needs of a young working-breed dog and are committed to continuing his training as he matures. He is not recommended for a home with cats. Sarge is not looking for just any home, and his placement will be taken very seriously. This will not be first-come, first-served. His rescue is looking for the right family who meets his needs and understands what comes with bringing a young Belgian Malinois into their home. Veterinary references are required on the application. Sarge is: 8 months old Belgian Malinois Approximately 40 lbs Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped Dewormed Very intelligent Affectionate and playful Extremely energetic Needs continued training and structure Right now, Captain Sarge needs a foster so he can leave the shelter and continue learning in a home environment. He doesn't need someone who expects perfection. He needs someone who understands Malinois, appreciates a busy brain and body, and is ready to help him become the incredible adult dog he has the potential to be. This boy has a LOT of dog in a 40-lb package. The right home could make all the difference. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription.

  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.
