Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Abby
Age: 2 years
Welcome Abby! Abby was trapped by a local rescue and transferred to SPR due to our dedication to rehoming Belgian Malinois dogs. Abby did well in her foster home. Abby is very shy, but will warm up to you and other dogs when you take things slowly with her. We are still getting to know her, but she seeks attention and wants to be loved. With all that, she is still a Malinois, so we always recommend having experience with the breed and a plan for mental and physical stimulation. She will not be a good dog to have in an apartment or a condo. She is not a dog for protection work either. We are looking for an experienced handler willing to take it slow and let her learn to trust and thrive in a loving stimulating environment.
*****Belgian Malinois Adoption requirements*****
The dog you have selected is a Belgian Malinois. This is a breed that has very specific needs for an adoptive home. Because of their need for a high level of exercise, both mentally and physically and their need for ongoing training, only applicants with demonstrated owner/handler experience with this breed will be considered. The vast majority of them are not best suited as family pets, but in homes with experienced handlers knowledgeable of their needs and breed characteristics. We will not place in homes with small children or small dogs/cats.
If you can give Abby an indoor forever home, please fill out our online application on our website at http://www.savingpawsrescueaz.com/adoption-form/
We will only schedule meet and greets with an approved application. We are an all-volunteer organziation. It may take a couple of days to process an application and complete reference checks.
