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.
