Gina is an 8 month old spayed female Belgian Malinois mix, weighing 56lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found.
Gina was picked up off the street after being dumped as a tiny puppy. She was sleeping in a cardboard box, hanging out right next to a busy road in a rough part of town. She didn’t have the greatest start in life, but thanks to an amazing foster, she has the chance to find a loving home of her very own.
This sweet puppy enjoys the company of familiar dog friends. Gina loves playing tug of war with her little dog foster siblings and will often go find one of the tug toys and lay it beside one of them as if she's asking them to play. She can be a little apprehensive of dogs that are bigger than her and will bark at ones she doesn’t know. Sadly, she was attacked by adult dogs while on the street, so she will do best with slow introductions. She currently lives and plays with small dogs under 15 lbs and large dogs over 75 lbs in her foster home. We do recommend a cat free home as she is a bit too enthusiastic when she sees the neighborhood kitties.
Gina seeks human attention but, has not been around any children while in foster care. She can be jumpy when excited and has no clue how big she is, so we do suggest a home with older (10 and up) dog savvy kids. She would do best in an active home, with someone who is going to play with her daily.
She absolutely LOVES toys! She likes to collect them and put them all in her bed. She has learned how to play fetch, but will keep herself entertained too.
She will do well with a family with older kids, a couple, or even someone who lives alone. We believe it would be good to have another dog in the home to keep her company and help her burn off that puppy energy. Gina is a beautiful dog is going to be a great addition to the right family!
Gina is crate trained and working on house training. She is crated up to 8 hours at a time with no accidents. This smartie walks pretty well on a leash and shows no signs of separation anxiety! She does prefer to eat her treats alone and is in the puppy velociraptor stage, so will need direction on appropriate things to chew.
We do not know Gina’s exact breed but we suspect she will be a large dog once fully grown. Her best fit will be with a family that understands what it means to raise a big, active pup into a well-mannered adult. We’re looking for adopters who will provide her with regular socialization, positive training and plenty of outlets for exercise, play, and enrichment.
