7. Bizkit

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

From the moment Bizkit stepped foot on the ranch, it was like he lived here his entire life… Goofy goofy goober Curious and confident BIG (and I mean big) puppy with lots of energy; yet still has a good off switch Doesn’t know a stranger! Loves kids, women, men…. Just everyone! Even the Vet! Loves to play with his foster siblings (even if Auntie Freya yells at him he just takes the correction and moves on to other things)He thinks cats are a little creepy Loves his pony pals tho! And he doesn’t harass them just nose boops and sniffs Car rides? Yes please! Love them Water?? Best thing ever!! Bizkit might be part mermaid Hiking and long walks are a favorite activity of his.

Read more about Bizkit

He can happily go for miles. He keeps up with the big dogs and still has enough sense to check in with his humans. Bed time snuggles are a must… thinks he’s a lap dog Athletic?? once he grows into his extra long legs and big floppy body…. But he tries his best. Knows basic obedience and how to shake! Recall it great and working on staying in a sit for more than two seconds Definitely still a puppy however; we are working on boundaries and staying out of personal space.He is mouthy at times but in a gentle manner. Isn’t overly barky. He barks when playing with his foster brother but isn’t over the top noisy all the time. Can settle quickly in the crate at bedtime and is working on crating during short daytime periods. Overall Bizkit will be a fantastic pet. I don’t necessarily think he is suitable for working but he is already an expert in being a good boy and will make an active family very happy. He does need room to get that energy out tho! As long as you are paying attention to him potty training is going well and the accidents he has had have been at the back door so he 100% understands the assignment just needs time to be able to hold it All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six month subscription.

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.

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.

He wants to be part of everything, loves a good cuddle, and is still looking to build that special bond with his person.

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.

Perfect puppy level recall already! Extremely treat motivated and food motivated. Good toy drive and medium energy level. Great off switch and seems like a great potential starter mal. Great with other dogs and LOVES all people. He doesn’t know a stranger! NO FEAR! Confident boy who is afraid of nothing! He has seen horses, cows, trucks, lawn mowers, people, other dogs, and gone up and down stairs with no hesitation. Great with grooming (baths, nails, teeth, ears, etc) and sits very well. Potty training and leash walking are a work in progress, but he doesn’t pull much already and doesn’t have accidents if you monitor him closely! Loves to sniff and find things (treats or otherwise) in the environment. Has great potential as a scent work dog!A quote from the foster:“He is one of the easiest puppies I have ever had.

Adopting a dog with children in Lansing

Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.

Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
