Beautiful Malinois Puppy Looking for the Right Foster
Located in NC
At just 8 months old, Tessie is standing at a crossroads.
She's already been through more than she should have. Born into a backyard breeder situation, she was adopted from the shelter... only to be returned two days later for being "too hyper."
But here's the thing...
She's not too much. She's just an 8-month-old Malinois that has never been shown how to be one.
Her evaluator saw something completely different.
A friendly, outgoing girl who eagerly engaged with people, accepted handling from nose to tail without hesitation, and happily followed anyone willing to spend time with her. She's incredibly food motivated, already starting to figure out basic obedience, and has all the building blocks to become an amazing companion.
Social and people-oriented
Loves food and is highly trainable
Accepts handling all over her body
No aggression or reactivity observed during evaluation
Low- to medium-drive with a great off switch
Ready to learn with the right guidance
Tessie doesn't need someone looking for a finished dog.
She needs someone who sees the potential in an adolescent Malinois and is excited to help shape it.
She'll thrive with an experienced foster who can provide structure, consistency, enrichment, and training. Give this girl a routine, clear expectations, and a little patience, and we think she's going to surprise a lot of people.
Her evaluator said it best:
"She would make a great family dog with development and training."
This beautiful girl has so much potential. She just needs someone willing to invest in her future.
Can you be the foster that helps Tessie become the dog she's meant to be?
All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six month subscription.
