Buddy needs help fast, his issues at the shelter are for being a #BelgianMalinois trapped in a kennel. If you or someone you know can help please contact the shelter at 562.570.3080 or AnimalRescue@longbeach.gov
Buddy is a fairly easy going #BelgianMalinois that arrived as a stray on 3/15 after reportedly being loose in the area for several days. Considering Buddy arrived with a registered microchip it's clear he is missing one very important 'buddy'... his owner 😐
Buddy's stray hold expired on 3/25 and became available for adoption or rescue after his neuter surgery. Around the same time Buddy was displaying increased stress & anxiety in his kennel, along with more impulsive behavior when out of kennel (in typical Malinois fashion). In addition to his new hobby of grabbing random large & heavy objects while on walks, he recently bit a staff member on the buttocks when they were placing keys & lanyard in their back pocket (D'oh). Luckily for everyone no skin was broken in the process (phew).
Buddy has a prior bite on record from 2020 during a home invasion robbery, doing what dogs are expected to do & biting a burglar. BUT with the shelter taking into account the prior provoked bite, along with the recent bite attempt and insane amount of stress being taxed on him in a kennel, it's clear Buddy needs to be somebody's new 'buddy' ASAP through adoption or rescue.
Buddy lived with another dog at his prior address (where that dog is remains a mystery), and has been very friendly and comfortable with other dogs. Currently he is remaining relaxed & stable while kenneled at the shelter, hopefully he can find a more responsible owner through adoption or rescue before kennel life gets the best of him since he's a Malinois.
