Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dogs Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Meet Indy - Our Incredible Momma Malinois

Indy is a beautiful three-year-old Belgian Malinois who has already proven just how special she is. She was found as a very pregnant stray and gave birth to 11 puppies in a crowded shelter. When Indy and her puppies were placed on the euthanasia list, we knew we couldn't let that be their story. Thanks to a donated freedom ride, Indy made her way from California to Washington and into a loving foster home where she has truly thrived.

Indy has been an amazing mom. She has raised all 11 of her puppies with patience and care, teaching them important social skills and proper manners. Now that her puppies are growing up, it's finally Indy's turn to find the forever home she deserves.

She does great on walks, has attended adoption events, and has met several other dogs with positive interactions. As her puppies are weaned, she will continue to be introduced to more dogs in off-leash and free-play settings.

Indy is a large girl, weighing around 90 lbs, and like many Malinois, she is intelligent, loyal, and driven. She will need a home that understands the needs of her breed and is committed to providing daily mental stimulation, structure, and physical exercise.

If you're not familiar with the breed, we highly recommend doing your research to ensure it's the right fit:
