2. Lark
Young · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 31 mi from Pontiac




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.

5. Mallory the Malinois located in South Carolina
Adult · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois · 31 mi from Pontiac


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.

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'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?

15. Marley
Adult (7 years 11 months) · Female · Pomeranian / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (long coat) · 13 mi from Pontiac


At 8 years young, Marley is a sweet Yorkie/Pomeranian mix with a lovely disposition and a whole lot of love to give!
Marley adores her people and would be perfectly content being the center of their world. While she would be happy as an only dog, she is also accustomed to living with other dogs and would do well with canine companionship.
Marley is pee pad trained, but don't let that fool you! This little lady absolutely loves spending time outdoors. A secure, fenced yard is a must so she can safely enjoy one of her favorite pastimes.
Marley would be an ideal companion for a retiree or someone who enjoys a quieter lifestyle but still likes to get outside for a nice walk. She is the perfect combination of a loving companion and a little outdoor adventurer.
If you're looking for a sweet, devoted little friend to share your days with, Marley may be your perfect match! ❤️

Meet Remington - or Remy for short - the perfect adventure buddy who's been waiting for someone to choose him!I'm on the hunt for my forever adventure buddy... and by "adventure," I mean anything from hiking a trail to making a quick Target run. Honestly, I don't really care where we're going—as long as I get to ride shotgun (or at least in the backseat).I'm a pretty laid-back guy with a goofy streak that tends to sneak up on people. I’m a Belgian Malinois mix - the full package.One minute I'm looking all handsome and dignified, and the next I'm making silly faces, zooming around, or convincing you that I definitely deserve just one more treat.
Read more about Remington
(Spoiler alert: I do.)I walk nicely on leash, love learning new things, and will happily work for snacks. Food is my love language. I'm also great with other dogs and have been respectful of the cat in my foster home. I believe in being a gentleman... unless we're talking about treats.At the end of the day, I'm really just looking for someone to do life with. We can explore new places, binge-watch TV, take long drives, or do absolutely nothing together. As long as we're together, I'm happy.So, what do you think? Ready to add a loyal sidekick, professional cuddle buddy, and part-time comedian to your family? I promise to make every day a little brighter—and I'll never judge your snack choices if you don't judge mine! Fostering saves lives. It gives dogs like Remy the opportunity to decompress, learn, and finally show the incredible companions they were always meant to be. Can you foster? Ready to adopt?

Found abandoned in a park in Miami, FL, sweet Crayola is covered little handprints. She is safe with a temp foster but we need to find a longer term foster. She still needs to get some vetting, but overall she seems healthy. Understanably shy with new people but she seems great with other dogs and not too interested in dog savy cats.

25. Oscar
Young (9 months) · Male · Cocker Spaniel (medium coat) · 24 mi from Pontiac





Meet Oscar, a sweet 10-month-old Cocker Spaniel who was found as a stray and rescued from an local Animal Shelter. He’s up to date on all vaccinations, preventatives, and has completed all blood work. Oscar is playful, loving, and great with other animals. He would do well in a home with or without children, and he’s already housebroken, which is a big plus. He still needs training because he tends to dart out the front door, so a secure fenced backyard is important for him. Oscar has minor allergies and benefits from 2-3 allergy pills twice a day. He’s a happy, energetic pup eager for love, guidance, and the chance to enjoy a safe, happy life.If you think Oscar might be the right fit for your family, we’d love for you to apply and help him find his forever home.

Puppy · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Dutch Shepherd / Mixed · 31 mi from Pontiac




PIRANHA: TINY. CUTE. ABSOLUTELY PLOTTING SOMETHING. Hello, my name is Piranha… also known as Rahna, “Dangit Piranha,” and “DON’T BITE THAT!” Located in Central Florida At only about 4 months old, Piranha is already making it VERY clear that she is mostly Malinois—and apparently intends to live up to every bit of it. She chomps. She Mal chatters. She climbs. She problem solves. She has already figured out how to scale furniture to steal a house key off the kitchen counter AND has escaped her seatbelt safety leash in the truck three separate times. And she is SMART. Piranha has extremely high food and toy drive, loves to train, and her foster believes that in the right hands she could be trained to do just about anything.
Read more about Fish Litter
Her report card specifically notes potential for working/handler work or dog sports, with that ball motivation potentially translating into things like dock diving or frisbee.But underneath all that tiny Maligator chaos? She is a complete Velcro puppy who wants to snuggle her person and be wherever they are. Her report card literally lists her favorite toy as Dad, favorite activity as chewing on Dad, favorite treat as Dad’s fingers and steak bits, and favorite place to nap as with Dad anywhere. Dog tested & friendly Cat tested & friendly Kid tested & friendly Great in the carPiranha also LOVES water, is fascinated by goldfish, and is currently learning commands like no, leave it, and heel—although we suspect “don’t bite that” may remain the most frequently used phrase in her household for a while. Her foster says she is “the full complete package of crazy, sweet, and feisty” and one of the best puppies they’ve had the pleasure of fostering.While Piranha does well with other animals, her foster believes she would be best suited as the only dog in her forever home simply because this girl is going to need a LOT of individual attention, training, structure, and a firm, knowledgeable handler who understands what they’re signing up for.This is not your average puppy. This is a tiny, highly motivated Malinois brain with teeth. And for the right person? She could be something pretty incredible.

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.
