Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dogs Available for Adoption in Jersey City, New Jersey

Max is a 2-year-old Belgian Shepherd looking for his furrever home!

Max is a dog that’s about the best example of his breeds he can be, and is looking for an experienced owner that can bring his best! He’s super loyal to those who build a bond with him, and he thrives off discipline, especially when it leads to plenty of cheek rubs and scratches behind the ear! Like most Shepherds, he’s got a brain as big as he is, and he loves to figure out new tricks and how to improve them. Since he’s praise-driven and doesn’t want to share the spotlight, he wants to be the only furry friend in the home, but he’s more than enough dog for anyone! Max can be a lot for those that don’t know how to handle large breeds, so he’s specifically looking for either a trainer, or someone with previous Shepherd experience where he can be the ideal version of himself!

If you are interested in adopting Max, please go to jcnj.org/adopt to submit an application, or call us at 201-547-5700 during business hours for more information.
