2. Lark
Young · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 80 mi from Lansing




LARK IS STILL WAITING — SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEONE TO SAY YES. Kentucky 2-year-old female Malinois Good with cats Dog neutral / friendly Sweet, loving & affectionate Lower drive for a young Malinois Seems to really want her own person Beautiful Girl! Meet Lark. We’ve learned so much more about this beautiful girl, and every update makes us want to get her OUT of the shelter even more.Lark is showing us that she is a sweet, loving girl who simply wants a person of her own. And this girl LOVES to give hugs. She’s friendly, dog neutral, good with cats, and has a lower drive than you might expect from a young Malinois.
Read more about Lark
She is the kind of dog who seems to really want that connection with her person — the attention, the affection, the closeness. She wants someone she can love and trust. She’s looking for her person. Someone who will give her a safe place to land. Someone who will let her decompress. Someone who will give her the time and patience to figure out what life is supposed to feel like outside of a shelter. And just look at her — Lark is looking fantastic. She has already shown everyone how wonderful she can be. Now we need to give her the opportunity to truly relax, settle in, and show us who she is when she isn't surrounded by the stress of a shelter environment. It could be the difference between continuing to wait behind kennel doors and finally getting to experience a soft bed, a routine, a yard, a couch, a person to love, and a place she can finally call safe. Her puppies have been given their chance. Now it’s Lark’s turn. She has spent enough time waiting. #MADRescue #MADRescueDogs #MADRescueMalinois #MalinoisInNeed #FosterSavesLives #FosterNeeded #RescueMalinois #MalinoisRescue #AdoptDontShop #RescueMe #SaveLark #FosterARescue All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six month subscription. ***************If you are interested in adopting this pet, please complete an application at this link: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic. ***************MAD is an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.

14. Charlie
Senior · Male · Coton de Tulear / Mixed (long coat) · 68 mi from Lansing



To apply to adopt:
Go to our website - adopt - dog - scroll to adoption application - click
Adoption fee is $250 - dogs are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and UTD on all prevention before adoption. Charlie's updates will be finalized on November 4th and we will begin reviewing applications at that time.
Charlie has been bounced around since he was a puppy. He finally had a home for the last six years of his life when his person passed away. Afterwards, Charlie was attacked by his caretakers dog and they knew that Charlie would have to find a new home.
Read more about Charlie
Charlie is a Coton de Tulear (or a mix). He is 7 years old. At 12.5lbs, Charlie is overweight and is working on potty training. He is good with cats.
Charlie needs an experienced owner as he is cautious of strangers and has never been around children. He has never been properly socialized and needs a great deal of time to warm up. Most importantly, Charlie will need lots of structure (as he is used to getting his own way) and safety. Structure and safety create stability and that is the most important requirement to adopt Charlie.

15. Mallory the Malinois located in South Carolina
Adult · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 80 mi from Lansing


Meet Mallory! This beautiful girl is Mallory, a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois who is looking for a new chapter — and MAD Rescue is hoping to find the right foster home to help her get there. Mallory’s current owner is elderly and, unfortunately, is no longer able to give her the care and activity she needs. Rather than asking Mallory to continue in a situation that isn’t the best fit for her, her owner reached out to MAD to help find her a home that can better accommodate her energy, needs, and Malinois spirit.Mallory currently lives with both a Yorkie and a German Shepherd, so she has experience sharing her home with other dogs.
Read more about Mallory the Malinois located in South Carolina
At 6 years old, Mallory is past the puppy stage, but she is still a Malinois — intelligent, energetic, engaged, and looking for a person who will give her opportunities to use both her body and her brain. She deserves more than simply being a dog in the house; she deserves a life where she can be active, included, and continue being the amazing dog she is. Located in South Carolina Mallory is currently seeking a FOSTER home only.Her foster family will give her the chance to decompress, learn more about her personality and needs, and help MAD determine what type of forever home will allow Mallory to truly thrive.If you have experience with Malinois or other high-drive dogs and think you could be the right foster for Mallory, MAD Rescue would love to hear from you. Sometimes rehoming isn't about a dog being a problem — it's about recognizing that a dog deserves a life that better fits who they are.Help us give Mallory that chance.

Young · Male · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 80 mi from Lansing


#MADLoveRambo is making himself right at home, and this big goofball just keeps getting better! Rambo has been with his foster mom and dad for a few weeks now, and he's settling in beautifully. He's a big, goofy softie who loves his humans, gets the zoomies, rolls around in the grass, plays chase, and apparently considers opening the trash can a perfectly acceptable hobby.But this boy is also a pretty quick learner!Training: Rambo is working on clicker training and catching on FAST! He's learning his basics, working on his "leave it" command, and building his confidence along the way.Leash manners: Huge improvements! He's making great progress with his walks.Backyard adventures: He's doing super well off leash in the backyard and loves having room to explore and play.Crate life: He LOVES his crate and goes right in without any fuss.

Who knew a big boy could be so easy about bedtime?Cat updates: His first interaction with cats went really well, and he's been practicing his manners around them. We're working toward peaceful coexistence, and so far, so good!Puddle patrol: If there's a puddle, Rambo will find it. If there's mud involved, even better. We have a feeling spa days are going to become a regular thing around here!And then there's his heart...For a guy who was left out in the desert to fend for himself, Rambo sure loves being close to his humans. He wants to be part of everything, loves a good cuddle, and is still looking to build that special bond with his person. He's a big boy with an even bigger soft spot for the people he loves.He also comes with some pretty entertaining sleeping positions.So what kind of home is Rambo looking for? Someone who enjoys a little adventure, is happy to continue his training, and understands that confidence and trust grow with time. He doesn't need to be an Olympic athlete. He'd much rather be your companion, your shadow, your playmate, and your very large snuggle buddy.Rambo is about 1.5 years old and currently living with his foster family in Washington.He's come a long way from being left alone in the desert. Now he just needs someone to show him that he's home for good.Interested in Rambo?

Bonus points if there are belly rubs involved!Colt is doing well on leash and enjoys taking his time to sniff every mailbox along the way.

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
