Able is a handsome boy that is what we call a Unicorn Dog - Fun, playful, socialized, crate-trained, travels well, and likes to cuddle too. He has a smidge of perhaps Rhodesian Ridgeback in him, as he has this unique hairline down his back. Otherwise, he seems all Dutchie!  Able is a dream dog in his crate - so quiet, calm and enjoying a peanut butter bone, sleeping or gazing at what is going on. Potty training - oh yeah, he does this cute One-Bark alert for early morning "I gotta goooo."  He'll even go potty in a drizzling rain! He travels great in a car too!  He seems to have been properly socialized as he is great with random people and dogs. Just a wonderful dog to take places. He still has plenty of energy and bounce though, so don't be fooled. He does love to play! But he isn't super hyper, he is perfect!  Able loves attention and is a sweet, sweet boy. He is smart, willing and a people-pleaser. He might even enjoy kiddos and be their best bud.  He may also enjoy the camping lifestyle where he gets to meet lots of folks and other dogs. We haven't cat tested yet, so we will have to wait to see if he is ABLE to live with cats. He had an interest in chickens, but after a few negative tone corrections he turned away to get praise and treats. He did GREAT at the vet's office and they quickly fell in love, and so will you.  If you love the Dutchie coat and temperment and appreciate a bit of uniqueness, this dog may be the one for you!!

Allegiance is an enthusiastic and lively pup who absolutely adores playing ball and sprinting around. He has a great rapport with other dogs and is incredibly intelligent, making excellent strides with obedience training. Toys, balls, chews, and stuffed animals are amongst his favorite things. Although he can get a little too excited during mealtimes, he waits patiently for his turn and never shows any hostility. In fact, he is so food motivated that he has been doing wonderfully with some hand-feeding training, demonstrating remarkable gentleness. His leash training is also going splendidly, and he is even quite comfortable with baths and water. While he still has much to learn, Allegiance is making fantastic progress and has enormous potential. He's incredibly curious and loves to explore, but we've had to limit his access to the first floor for now as he has a habit of investigating everything with his mouth. However, with more toys and focused play, he's become more engaged and less prone to doing this.  He's a good sleeper and does well in his crate at night, although he does need a bit of a bribe to go in initially. He does have a bit of a prey drive, but can be easily distracted with the right motivation. The biggest challenge we're facing with him is his jumping and impulse control, so young children may not be the best fit for him.   Ideally, he needs someone with experience in training Malinois/Dutch Shepherds or rescue dogs, and an active lifestyle would be a perfect match for him.   All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and one-year subscription.  If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application at this link  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic.  We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.

Allie is a 1.5 year old female Malinois with an incredibly strong ball drive. She can go nonstop, but she also has a great off switch. Her energy level is around 7 out of 10, which means she can really match the energy of her owner. Allie is a big cuddler and loves being close to her person. She walks nicely on a leash and is working on some basic commands like down, stay, and place.  She's friendly with other dogs, confident but not dominant. She won't let another dog walk all over her, but she's not interested in starting any fights either. She's pretty indifferent towards new people and does not actively seek attention from them. However, she'll gladly accept pets if approached correctly.  She's great with kids and allows them to approach her, or she'll go to them.  She can sometimes get nippy when she's excited so older children or dog savvy younger children will be a better fit. She'll lovingly demand attention and truly believes she's a lap dog.    Overall, she is an incredibly sweet girl who will develop a very strong bond with her new family.  ++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you are interested in adopting this dog, please complete an application at this link https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic .  We are an official 501C3 organziation that does not have a physical location.

Artemis, or Arti Mouse, is a gorgeous petite young female! She came to us in a terrible state: scared, having ringworm, emacietad and under socialized. It is obvious that this poor girl was mistreated! She prefers women over men but she can overcome this!  She is small but mighty! She as high energy and some good drive and will need a job! She's the type of dog that will hang from a tug toy tied to a tree! She would love someone who can chanel her energy into play, training and activities. Once she bonds w/ her handler, she will do anything for them. She's a total velcro girl and loves snuggling up to her person.  She is good with other dogs after proper introductions and plays really well with both male and female dogs. She is a bit of an energizer bunny and she will not turn into a pumpkin at midnight but rather get her second wind. She does settle after proper mental and physical stimulation. She prefers confident soft dogs. She respects correction from confident females well. She loves wrestling.  She works really well on leash for a confident leader. She does best with a structured life and someone who has good boundaries and sets fair and clear expectations. She is quite timid at first but once she trusts, she is loyal and loving. She hopes for someone patient to see and uncover her potential! She is very puppy like and is quite mouthy; thus, we prefer no children in the home for this little snap dragon!. She also LOVES chasing and catching rats and bunnies so please no cats or other prey animals. She is looking for a breed-savvy, experienced home that enjoys training and helping a dog thrive! She has huge potential and is just hoping to find someone who can unlock it! Will it be you??

Hi, I am Aspen. Some lady found me on the side of the road and was nice enough to find me help with MAD Rescue.

Aurora #madlovesaurora is a two and half year old, female, Belgian Malinois. With a heavy heart, her owner had to surrender her due to health issues. It is very apparent that Miss Aurora was very loved and really enjoys cuddling and being the center of attention. She has pearly whites that she loves to show off by either smiling or trying to act tough. She is praise, treat, and toy motivated. When she accepts you as part of her pack, she insists that belly rubs are a must and she will literally sit in or on your lap. She has learned the daily routine of her foster home very quickly. Since coming into her foster home, she has not had one accident inside and will alert you when she needs to go outside, although most times she does want you to come with her. Her favorite game is keep away and she will play tug. She can also come inside and just crash on the couch next to you and be very content.  Where she needs focus and attention to be one of the best pups ever is in the following areas. She is reactive to new situations and things especially on car rides.  A few walks and we have been working on the command “Leave it” and rewarding with treats and she is progressing well. New guests, especially males will be met with lots of barking, but my tail is wagging and you may get a lick or a small nibble if you move to quickly, but she has never bitten hard. She prefers woman to men and likes kids around the age of 12. We have not had her around any younger children as their quick movements could scare her. She is very alert and new noises can start her barking. A few pets and reassuring words normally help her to calm quickly. She can be caught trying to see what is on the counters or table, so her curiosity has to be kept in check. She will pick up toys and things and put them in her mouth and then the game of drop it and let go begins. We are working on this as well. I think her cuteness and lovable personality, maybe had led to a bit of spoiling in the past.  She requires slow and proper introductions to other dogs.She has worn a muzzle in the past and puts it on without struggle. Her foster home used one for her safety and the safety of her foster sisters during the first few interactions. The only negative interactions with her sisters are generally over the fact that she absolutely wants to be the center of attention.  Would not recommend a household with small animals or young children. She is ready for an experienced handler that has breed experience to help her grow into her full potential. She is a typical Malinois and you can see the gears turning behind her eyes. She really deserves a good home where she can be the center of your world and you will quickly become the center of hers. show less

Located in Ohio, Axel is a highly energetic, 100% Belgian Malinois. This boy thrives on constant activity. He needs exercise and lots of it. After all, he is the stereotypical Mal. While he will chase a ball from time to time, his favorite pastime is playing tug with his toys. Axel thrives on a structured routine filled with clear guidelines and training sessions. He’s happiest when put to work and can channel his boundless vigor productively. The perfect match for Axel would be an individual or family that matches his high-octane lifestyle, ideally with ample time to dedicate solely to him. He forms strong attachments to his humans and prefers a home where he doesn’t need to vie for attention. While he coexists with other dogs, his upbeat personality can be overwhelming for more subdued canine companions. In his current foster home, Axel has aced crate training, contentedly spending up to eight hours a night in his sturdy ZINGER crate. He greets new people with cautious barks but warms up once he senses they're friends. Axel is a regular at dog-friendly stores, and while he may show curiosity towards other dogs, he’s not aggressive. Axel’s recall is nearly flawless, adhering to commands even amidst distractions like wildlife—though cats are his Achilles' heel. Axel boasts a robust frame, standing 25"-26" tall at the shoulder and weighing 75 pounds, with a solid, muscular build. He's not the lean type of Malinois; he carries a presence as vibrant as his spirit, and people will stop and stare when they see him. Those familiar with the breed will appreciate him. His intelligence is on par with his physical attributes; he’s treat-driven and knows a repertoire of commands, including prolonged sit/stay. He will also roll over and even play dead. There’s a world of potential for what he could learn next. Axel has previously lived with children and enjoys playful pursuits, but given his size and tendency to mouth, a home with no children or older children would be ideal. His high prey drive makes him unsuitable for homes with cats, small dogs, or other small animals, as he is inclined to chase them with intent if not supervised, however out and about with his owner, his prey drive is curbed with his near perfect recall. In essence, Axel is a spirited, devoted companion in search of a home that understands and celebrates the essence of his breed. He’s a happy guy who needs a family to give him what he needs. At just 3 years old he is still a young guy!

Meet Bella Sue, a little Southern Belle in South Texas. Bella Sue is a beautiful pocket Mal just under 50 lbs. Don’t let her size fool you … she can spring up like a kangaroo! Need an exercise buddy?  Want to do agility training with your dog?  Bella Sue is your girl! Although she can be timid when first meeting someone, she warms up and then loves to be with her people.  Shut down when she came out of a kill shelter in TX, she is now a much more confident and happy girl!  Bella Sue is amazing with younger and older children, good in the house, housebroken, crate trained and has made great progress in her obedienc training.  This gal also walks well on a leash and is learning to play with toys.  As she has been playing with other dogs who chase balls, her ball drive has been getting much stronger!    Bella Sue plays well with medium to large sized dogs and would benefit from being in a home with a neutral, confident dog (although this is not a must have). Smaller or very submissive dogs are not ideal for Bella Sue, as she can be bossy with them.  Bella Sue is the complete Malinois package and a great candidate for first time Mal owner.  Are you ready to take Bella Sue into your heart and on your adventures?

Blu is a healthy, intelligent and energetic 1.5-2 year old high-drive Dutch Shepherd/German Shepherd (60/40) mix who is looking for his forever person. Within a few days after rescuing Blu from the shelter it was apparent he was an exceptional dog with enormous untapped potential. He has been at a local board and train in Florida known for its expertise with shepherds and working breeds. He is doing awesome and everyone’s favorite dog at the facility; working on socialization, leash handling, and general obedience. Building confidence with leash work, impulse control, and releasing items have been primary skills for Blu. Also, he is naturally cautious dog, so he’s worked on comfortability around people. His foster prior to training shared that he stole their hearts immediately: smart, alert, affectionate (with those he trusts), eager to please, always ready to work, obedient, and full of personality. Blu is a dynamo and, with the right leadership, will be a faithful and devoted dog. A single-family home would be ideal for Blu without small animals or children.  Potential for living with another large dog in the home with proper introductions. It is important that Blu is matched with a confident handler who will follow up and be consistent with his training, make sure he gets exercise and mental stimulation, read his cues, and direct his energy through positive outlets like scent work.  Local adopters will have the opportunity to work with the trainer to ensure Blu’s has a smooth transfer to his new home.
