Buddy

My story

We adopted this little guy a month ago from the Maricopa County Animal Shelter. We already have two senior Belgian Malinois so we thought it would be a good fit but even after decompression and weeks of bonding, we have concluded that HE NEEDS TO BE IN A SINGLE DOG HOME. He's very sweet and affectionate but is also very jealous and protective when there are other dogs present. He has made multiple attempts to attack one of my senior dogs whenever she comes near me. While we love him and think he is an absolutely wonderful dog in every other regard, keeping him would pose a great risk to our senior dogs that we're not willing to take. We also can't afford the 2-4k we were quoted to work with a professional behavioral specialist. He's healthy, potty trained, loves food and walks and naps in his "man cave" (large 48x30 kennel that we've padded and filled with blankets). Other than the aggression, he's the easiest Mali we've ever met. Not destructive. Rarely even barks.
