Gina is an 8-month-old, 56lb spayed female Belgian Malinois mix who was found abandoned in a cardboard box near a busy road. Despite her rough start, she's blossomed in her foster home and is ready to find her forever family! Gina is a smart, toy-loving pup who enjoys playing tug-of-war with her small dog foster siblings. She's learning to play fetch and entertains herself with her collection of toys. Gina is crate trained and working on house training, doing well with up to 8 hours in her crate. She walks nicely on a leash and shows no signs of separation anxiety. While she's still in her "puppy velociraptor stage" and needs guidance on appropriate chewing, she's eager to learn.
Ideal Home
Gina would do best in an active home with someone who can provide her with daily play and enrichment. She would thrive with older, dog-savvy children (10+) due to her tendency to jump when excited and her unknown size when fully grown. She has done well with small dogs and large dogs over 75 lbs in her foster home, but slow introductions are recommended as she was previously attacked by unfamiliar adult dogs. A home without cats is preferred, as she can be a bit too enthusiastic about neighborhood kitties. A second dog in the home would be beneficial for companionship and burning off energy.
Ongoing Health
Gina is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. No specific health conditions are noted in her listing.
Training & Support
Gina is crate trained and house training is in progress. She needs ongoing positive reinforcement for chewing habits. Regular socialization, positive training, and ample opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment are essential for her development.
