A little about them

Gina is an 8-month-old, 56-pound spayed Belgian Malinois mix with a playful, affectionate personality. After being rescued as a puppy, she is now ready for an active, loving home where she can continue to grow and thrive.

Gina enjoys playing tug, collecting toys, playing fetch, and spending time with familiar dog friends. She is smart, affectionate, playful, and seeks human attention.

Ideal Home

Gina would do best in an active home with daily play, exercise, enrichment, socialization, and positive training. She currently lives successfully with small dogs under 15 pounds and large dogs over 75 pounds, but needs slow introductions with unfamiliar or larger dogs due to her past experiences.

A cat-free home is recommended. She has not been around children in foster care, and older, dog-savvy children age 10 and up are recommended. Another dog in the home may help her with companionship and exercise.

Ongoing Health

Gina is spayed and vaccinated. Her exact breed and adult size are unknown, though she is expected to become a large dog.

Training & Support

Gina is crate trained and can remain crated for up to eight hours without accidents. She is still working on house training, walks pretty well on leash, and shows no signs of separation anxiety. She is learning appropriate chewing habits and prefers to eat treats alone.
