My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Zion is a male Belgian Malinois puppy. His breed is known for being extremely intelligent, active, and protective. He needs a strong and experienced handler who is able to help him learn basic manners and obedience in puppyhood, and continue to enrich his breed-specific needs into adulthood. Any bored dog, especially a Malinois, can lead to destructive behavior so someone who is able to keep him focused and entertained would be necessary.

He does his little "Malinois teeth chomps/chatter" when he's excited and is comparable to an energizer bunny, always eager and looking for something to do!! He would thrive in an environment where he's able to do bite work, agility, protection, scent work, etc. Give him a job to do and he's the happiest boy in the world.

He would do best in a two-person household to help with the responsibility that comes with owning a puppy, nevertheless a working breed puppy. Someone who works from home would be best. He would do great in a home with or without another dog.

Zion loves to train, play with his puppy friends, and snuggle up with his humans at the end of the day. He is available for a long term committed adopter who is well-versed in working breeds.

More about this rescue

Thrive Animal Rescue is the brainchild of Cece Durante Bloum and Georgia Spogli. Cece, a lifelong animal lover, equestrian and founder of Newmarket Equestrian Center, sought a way to incorporate her love for animals with her desire to give back to the community. Being a dog lover first and foremost, Cece began finding dogs in shelters for friends who wanted to adopt but could not bear the heartache of searching through shelters to find the right match. Cece realized that shelters are filled with dogs who have been abandoned for reasons having nothing to do with serious health or behavioral issues. Georgia had completed similar rescue work on the East Coast and successfully placed several dogs in the loving homes of friends and associates in the equestrian world. Georgia felt a calling to do more and joined forces with Cece in 2014. They recruited more dog loving friends from the equestrian world, applied for non-profit status, and Thrive Animal Rescue was born!

Thrive continues to carry out its mission to rescue family friendly dogs from abandonment and shelters and place them in loving forever homes. Additionally, it is our goal to educate adopters on the importance of their commitment to their new furry family member. We consider suitability a vital part of the process of placing a dog in a loving forever home and believe this diminishes the likelihood that a dog will become displaced or rehomed again, thereby reducing the number of viable dogs being euthanized.
