Malinois Mix Rescue

San Luis Obispo CA

Description

Athena was rescued from the riverside animal shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list. We have been fostering her for a few weeks and are now looking for her forever family! She is a Belgian malinois mix. I believe she is mixed with a bully breed. The shelter estimated her to be a year old but I think she is a little older than that. She does really well with other large/medium size dogs dogs, males and females, but I think she would be happiest as the only dog at home. She is not good with cats. She is Spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. She loves to give hugs and is excellent comic relief. She’s a good protector, but also sweet and gentle. She was a stray before the shelter so she still needs some training, which we have been working on. I wouldn’t recommend a home with children less than 10 until she can be fully trained because she does like to climb on you. She is a big girl, 60+ lbs. She is potty trained and she doesn’t chew things. I am hoping to find someone with Malinois experience, at minimum I am looking for someone with large breed rescue dog experience. She is a literal angel, but she has been through a lot. She needs empathy, patience and a calm environment to thrive. I want her to go the best home possible so I will be very picky. If you are interested in adopting her please let me know more about yourself and your home. Thank you!
