Male Dog, Belgian Shepherd Malinois
Belgian Shepherd Malinois / German Shepherd Dog (Short Coat)
Description:
Bart was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background ✅ Neutered ✅ Rabies and core vaccines up to date ✅ On monthly flea/tick preventatives ✅ Microchipped ⚖️ Weight: 22 lbs (mid July) Estimated DoB: 23 March 2025 BART was lucky to go to our amazing foster family on Saturday, 14th September and just over a week in we have a great update: Bart is a stunning 6-month-old Belgian Malinois mix with a heart of gold. He’s the absolute sweetest little man, and he’s perfected a few moves to get your attention. He’ll do what we call his "sweet face," sticking his nose up and giving you a side-eye until you give him a good ear scratch. But if that doesn't work, he’ll try his "double-tap"—putting one paw on your lap, and then both paws, all while making his cute pointed puppy face. Bart is as smart as he is adorable. He's already mastered several tricks with us and, with the right dedicated family, he’ll be a quick study for even more. This playful pup is a big fan of soccer balls and LOVES romping around with his foster siblings. He will happily take a treat as a reward, but love and affection is his ideal reward. As a young Malinois mix, Bart is a higher-energy dog who needs plenty of outdoor time, so we take him out for 10-20 minute sessions three to four times a day. At least until he learns his new families routine. He’s a perfect mix of couch potato and running partner; he’ll happily nap with you indoors but is also ready to run around if you are. Bart will thrive with a devoted family who understands his need for both mental and physical exercise. He’s ready to give his whole heart to the right people. What Bart Needs ♀️ An active family that can meet his physical and mental exercise needs Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities ️ High-quality food and treats to keep him healthy and energized Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health ❤️ Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire.
