Adele - Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in La Grange, Kentucky

Adele is spayed, fully healthy and microchipped! Adele is at the Bucktown Adoption Center! Come on in to meet her.

: Mostly Housebroken - Has good house manners but may have an occasional accident while adjusting to a new home.
: New to Crate Training - Has little to no crate experience and will need gradual introduction and training.
: Still Learning Leash Manners - Will benefit from continued training. Tends to bark/pull/jump on leash towards other dogs and/or people and will benefit from a calm neighborhood and experienced handler, or a backyard.
: Dog Social - Enjoys the company of other dogs and has done well with a variety of canine friends.
: Unsure with Cats - Has not been tested with cats, so their compatibility is unknown. We would recommend a slow introduction with a way to separate the home for each pet.
: Best with Older Kids - Would thrive in a home with older, dog-savvy children who can respect their boundaries.

Adele wants to be around her besties - humans or dogs - all the time! She likes to follow you around the apartment, and is immediately in your lap when you sit down on the couch. She also is extremely inquisitive; she will happily sniff for hours, and will frequently gently pick up objects (but will relinquish non-toys/redirect without much trouble). She's starting to learn "sit" and "off" after just a few days, and is just a lovely and smart girl with so much potential!

: This pet has not been DNA tested, so we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like!

: Adele's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she cannot wait to join her forever family!

: Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/. Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours.

The Belgian Shepherd Malinois is a versatile and intelligent working dog breed known for its agility, loyalty, and protective nature. Originating from Belgium, these medium-sized dogs have a distinctive short coat in shades of fawn with a black mask. Malinois excel in various roles such as military, police, search and rescue, and as loyal family companions. With proper training and socialization, the Belgian Shepherd Malinois thrives on mental stimulation and physical activity to channel its high energy levels effectively.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
