My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I NEED A HOME!

Sweet Gideon, who is a 2-year-old, neutered and underweight at 54 pounds, was rescued as a stray off the streets of Georgetown, SC. He was found extremely emaciated with his ears all flea bitten. He wore his paws raw pacing in the kennel and is also heartworm positive. He was scheduled to be euthanized until Jennifer McQuilken saw this boy in the shelter and decided to pay for his treatment and asked MAD rescue if we could take him in. His foster, John Wilt said that he would take care of this boy and give him a soft place to land so that he can heal and work through his heartworm treatment.

Gideon does great with other dogs and enjoys playing with them. He is very loving and gives his foster a hug when she comes home from work. He is also feisty with anything that moves and will try and take it! His foster has started basic obedience training with him and he is picking it up very quickly. Because Gideon has to be kept calm during his heartworm treatment, his foster has found alternative ways to keep him stimulated. It appears that he has a pretty good nose.

Gideon would do well in a family home with or without dogs and children older than 8 years of age. He has not been cat tested.

More about this rescue

Mission Statemet
Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Rescue, Inc. (MAD) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which is dedicated to rescuing Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherds who have found themselves without a home (surrendered, discarded, abused, neglected or impounded). MAD does not have a physical location and is operated by compassionate, like-minded professionals who volunteer their time and resources to help save and care for the Malinois and Dutch Shepherds. All animals that are accepted by MAD are spayed or neutered, given medical attention and rehabilitation, as needed, and placed with foster homes until their health and evaluations are completed and they are ready to be placed in their loving permanent homes.
