My story

Louise and her sister Thelma were on the run in Lake City FL until the local Animal Control caught up to them. Since the local shelter is already full, they reached out to MAD Rescue knowing they would not have a good outcome otherwise. Louise is a petite malinois (45lbs) who is good with dogs, cats, kids, and adults! She is a super sweet and friendly girl who would make an amazing family dog! She is not high drive or high energy and is more than content with cuddling up next to you on the couch! Better yet, the way to this girl’s heart is food and attention! Give her both and you’re her new BFF!  Louise had two surgeries on her left front leg to repair an old injury while with MAD Rescue. While she is fully recovered from her surgeries and currently participating in PT, Louise will likely continue to require supplements for her joints. Due to this, Louise won’t ever be a candidate for high intensity activities/dog sports. Louise is a professional clinger, so a home where she isn’t alone often or can come to work with you would be ideal! She currently goes to work with her foster and is loved by everyone she meets! But Louise is more than just a pretty face, she also excels at using her nose! Louise would likely be a great starter dog for someone interested in mantrailing or nose work!  Located in northeast Florida (but can travel and is great in the car!) 2 year old female malinois, 45lbs Vaccinated and spayed Good with other dogs Great with cats!   Low prey drive but loves toys like flirt poles Treats are the way to her heart! LOVES people (and kids) - she’s never met a stranger! Super affectionate even with the vet! (Bonds extra well with her person!) No resource guarding Walks good on a leash and knows basic commands   Started nosework and did great! Potty trained and non-destructive in the home Struggles with being left alone - not ideal for a home where she will be left home alone often All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month 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. Our home address is in Michigan, however, the majority of our dogs are not located in Michigan. The physical location of each dog is posted with the name of the pet or in the title area. If you are within 4 hours of the pet, please be prepared to pick the pet up. We do provide transport assistance up to 350 miles. The applicant must drive the remainder of the distance of the transport.  The basic information that we have available is in our posting, but sometimes fosters will post updates on the MAD Rescue Facebook page as well,  https://www.facebook.com/groups/malinoisanddutchshepherdrescueinc. If you would like to further inquire on this animal, please fill out this application. Applications that are completed in our process and being considered as a match will speak to the foster home to gain more information about our adoptable dog. If you have questions about this pet please contact us at info@MADrescueinc.org.  You may also call our toll free number at 844-MAD-RESQ or 844-623-7377.  Additional information about all of our dogs for adoption can be located at our website MAD Rescue Inc. ##2405705##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Louise - Located in Florida, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
