Belgian Malinois puppies and dogs in Mount Arlington, New Jersey

Ash is a 4 year-old Belgian Malinois mix weighing 65 pounds who is smart as well as loving. She sits nicely whenever the possibility of a treat comes around and also sits and waits for her meals to be served. She has even taught herself to go to the door when she has to go out. Don’t worry, if you’re not around to see it, she’ll give you a verbal warning. Ash is housebroken and kennel trained, although she prefers a treat or two when entering her kennel. Ash is super sweet and affectionate, quick to bond with her human and is a master cuddler and leaner. She is very curious and will want to follow you everywhere you go and watch everything you do. She is a bit of a nervous nelly when it comes to meeting new people and, in true Malinois fashion, she tends to be vocal about her fear. She needs a human who will be understanding and patient with her when it comes to introducing visitors and new friends. Dog introductions should be conducted slowly as well. Ash takes a few days to warm up to her new environment but once she does, her personality shines through. She can run all day in the yard with her furry foster siblings or crash just about anywhere when it’s time to wind down. She loves any and all kinds of toys and will throw them around all by herself. She is an awesome puppy that would bring heaps of love and energy to anyone willing to adopt her. After being rescued from a Texas shelter, NorthStar discovered that Ash has a severe congenital deformity that will lead to congestive heart failure. She will need to be monitored closely for any symptoms (exercise intolerance, coughing, shortness of breath). She is currently on medication for her condition and seeking the care of a cardiologist is recommended. Doctors told us that Ash's longevity would be affected, predicting that she might only reach her 5th birthday. But Ash has continued to thrive and at the age of almost-4-years-old, she is still going strong.  Ash is looking for a very special adopter who will love this sweet girl and give her the care she needs for the rest of her life, however long that might be. If Ash's story has touched your heart and you would like to give this girl a loving home, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org & be sure to ask for ASH TX. Ash has been spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. The adoption fee for this sweet girl is $425.March 4, 2025, 9:07 pm

URGENT This little boy is in a shelter in Texas and he needs our help.  In order to save him, he needs to get out of the shelter ASAP and the only way a foster will take him for us is if they know he has an adopter waiting for him - that way they know it's only a short time that they will have him since they already have so many dogs to take care of. We've named him Shaggy and we estimate that he is about 3-4 months old.  He looks like he might be a belgian shepherd (malinois). He is currently in a shelter in Texas but if you'd like to adopt him, he can arrive to the NJ area on the April 26th transport.  We will make sure he is vetted, vaccinated and microchipped prior to his arrival.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs are located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We p ost in east coast states and Canada as we have many families adopt and are happy to make the worthwhile trip up to the rescue. We do not always have time to post all the pictures on each dogs individual page, but we do post a lot of photo's on the rescue Facebook page. DeeDee is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped with 24PetWatch. She has an estimated date of birth of September 2023 and on 22 September weighed 50 pounds. We have no way of knowing the breed, it is up to individuals to look at the pictures and videos to make up their own mind. Beautiful DeeDee has been at the rescue since 24 September 2024 and although she has had some families interested in her, they really didn't have the lifestyle or understanding for what she needs. DeeDee was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas with her sister Dolly who is also still here at the rescue, but is living in the house as I felt it best to separate them to get them used to not being together. At the shelter both girls were terrified of being in a strange, loud, busy unknown environment and when they first arrived at the rescue they was equally as scared, which is totally understandable. After a few weeks their confidence grew as they felt safe and made friends with the other dogs to where now at the rescue they play well with the other dogs, they are relaxed and happy. DeeDee did have a meet and greet about a month ago and taking her out of her environment with the other dogs and to the top of the drive where she had not been and was alone, she again became very scared. I do want to say she has NEVER been aggressive in any way shape or form, she is just scared in new environments and situations. This is not a negative and should be understood, she has most likely never been on her own, not had a great start to life ending up in a high kill shelter at a year old with her sister, but by watching the videos on her page on the rescue website and looking through the photo's you can clearly see that when she is comfortable and feels safe she is a happy confident girl - she just needs a family who understands this and will go slow with her and let her adjust at her pace. At the rescue as mentioned she is a confident girl, she will run up to the gate and bark at cars coming down the drive, she can be vocal when people come to volunteer, however she is in a kennel environment and so all the dogs bark when people come in - she can be a little mouthy with people, which should be expected from the breed and is easy to work on, she doesn't do it all the time. She is extremely affectionate and craves for love and attention and would be a great family dog, as long as she is given that time to understand she is in a safe place with a loving family. I have not had around small children but personally would have no concerns as long as the children respect her space and do not do anything to make her feel unsafe or threatened, which is standard for all dogs. I do not know how she would be around cats, I am sure she would be curious and it is important for families to ensure that cats have a safe place they can get to and of course slow, controlled introductions. Then of course this sweet girl needs a family that understands the breed in that she needs a structured active life, with lots of mental stimulation and challenges as the physical exercise. She would be great with another dog in the family and has never had any issues with the dogs she lives with here at the rescue, which includes being around 3 month old puppies. Overall she is an incredibly sweet, gentle affectionate girl who needs a loving, understanding active family that will give her time to adjust and trust so that this beautiful, active personality can come back out. The shelter noted the following on 2 September about both girls who were taken to the play group individually: Not feeling quite confident on the leash yet, was carried to the yard. She wasn't feeling confident enough to join in with the others at this time. She was standoffish and could feel overwhelmed at times.   Kennel visit - 5 September Stayed on bed and was licking my hands but when I went to pet her she kept flinching and moving her head. Got off the bed and continued to lick hands but still flinched when tried to pet her. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.  She does need an active family who will ensure she gets all the exercise, both mentally and physically that she needs to live a happy fulfilling life. DeeDee is available for an adoption fee of $300 Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue in SEBEC, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application.
