Story

We got Leah last October. Her owner was giving her away. All of her shots are up to date, she was only 10 weeks old and was raised in a 2 kid household . She is very energetic and loves to play fetch. My husband is getting deployed sooner than planned and my work schedule is rough. I feel bad that she doesn’t get the attention that she needs and is in the kennel most of the day. She is very smart and is potty trained. She knows simple commands and is the biggest cuddler. I’m hoping someone is looking to adapt a large family dog and with a backyard and has lots of love to give.

Ozzy

Belgian Malinois Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Young

El Cajon, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ozzy is a very sweet and loving Mal pup. We are sad that we are making the decision to rehome him, as he is apart of our family. Since we have a little one on the way we've found it best that he goes to a family who has the time to give him attention and to get him trained. We are searching for someone who is experienced with high-energy breeds. Ozzy is very mellow for a Malinois but he still needs to be walked daily, and it would be in your best interest to get him leash-trained. We have been using a pronged collar to try and train him not to pull, but we have been unsuccessful. He has been good around our 3-year-old daughter, but there are many instances where his Maligator tendencies come out. I want to be as transparent as I can, so if you have any questions, please reach out. I want to be sure that he goes to a very loving family and to owners who are experienced and know what they're doing with this type of dog.
