CAIRO - KY - BELGIAN SHEPHERD MALINOIS DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. Adoption Fee: $375.00. ____________________________________________________________ Coordinator: Brandy Whiddon/Kelli Williamson Cairo “Cai” is a super friendly Malinois with an abundance of energy and a strong desire to stay close to his human. Due to his size and tendency to enthusiastically run towards people, a home with no children under 12 is not recommended. Cai is highly active and would thrive with an owner who enjoys running, hiking, and engaging in various dog sports such as nose work, barn hunt, dock diving, agility, and obedience. While Cai is well-behaved in his crate, he becomes vocal when he knows someone is nearby, seeking companionship. He's currently working through some marking issues, which are expected to diminish as his hormone levels stabilize post-neutering. Initially aloof with strangers, Cai warms up quickly, especially to women, and does best with a confident and understanding male owner. Cai has an excellent recall, especially with treats, and respects boundaries like fences. He tends to be overly excited when returning on recall but will sit on command. While he interacts well with female dogs, he's more reserved around males and would do best with a smaller, low-key male dog companion. He largely ignores cats, aside from a slight reaction when they seek his attention. Cai's ideal home is one with Malinois experience, capable of handling his high energy and training needs. He loves toys and fetch but requires two balls to ensure retrieval. He's currently learning loose leash walking, proper greetings, and other basic commands.
