Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Boxer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: $250. ____________________________________________________________ Coordinator: Chris Wood Rufus is a fabulous neutered male, Malinois mix (by DNA test, 54% Malinois on both sides; 20% boxer; also 1% Chihuahua!) who is in search of his forever home. He was born July 2021, is microchipped, housetrained, and has a moderate level of obedience training (please see the video attached). He will need a family who is dog savvy and has an understanding of Malinois traits such as being protective, herding nips, prey drive, and high intelligence. While Rufus does display some of that boxer energy, his Malinois genes are present. When meeting new people, Rufus is cautious, but friendly once he decides the person is okay and part of the "pack.” Patience and an introduction routine help a lot. Rufus is loyal, intelligent, agile, well-behaved, and eager to please. He is a pleasure to have around, healthy, and is up-to-date with shots. Four years ago, when he was about 11 months old, Rufus was adopted from a shelter in Oregon and went to live on a farm. Since then, his owners have moved to the city and travel frequently to see family. They have concluded that this is not the best situation for Rufus, long term. Therefore they are reluctantly seeking a new, stable home for this delightful dog. Rufus loves walks, chasing a ball, sniffing, and playing find-the-toy. He is amazing at finding hidden objects! Obedience skills include: heel, sit, down, stay, sit-stay, down stay. He is good on a leash. He likes to learn new games and tricks. His Malinois nature is exhibited in his love of mental engagement. Give him a job, and he'll do it! Rufus also exhibits his Malinois genes through athleticism. He is eager, but is not "wired." He is often left alone in the house for hours at a time with no destructive behavior or accidents. He has made numerous 1,000 mile car trips between Georgia and Missouri and is mostly okay with car rides as long as he has a good place to lie down. Rufus adores his owners' double-digit-aged grandchild who is dog savvy and respectful of him. Rufus also plays well with other dogs at doggy daycare and when he is boarded. If you are interested in adopting Rufus, please reach out to Scott at 503-367-4228. ***This is a courtesy post to support Rufus’s transition. Rufus is not an ABMR rescue dog.*** ABMR thanks you for taking the time to look at our malinois available for adoption.
