Story
Meet beautiful Molly. She was found in the middle of nowhere, in the bones, and with too much fear, she tried to bite us until she could understand that we were not going to hurt her, we just wanted to help her, and she got on her belly, letting me know that she trusted me. She is a really sweet, intelligent, loving dog, she has too much love to give, and she needs to receive even more. She is a very loyal dog, and tends to dance with her front paws when she gets excited. She gets excited when she goes for a walk, she likes to see new places and sometimes she is a little shy at first with strangers but she understands quickly when people don't want to hurt her. On the contrary when she knows that people are a threat to her or to you, she is very protective. She gets along well with very few male dogs, she is dominant and does not usually play with other dogs, but she gets along very well with adults and children, she would be ideal for a family with small children, she knows how to measure her strength, and she is not at all rude with babies. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash. The adoption fee does not include transportation to North of San Diego

Story
Ozzy is a very sweet and loving Mal pup. We are sad that we are making the decision to rehome him, as he is apart of our family. Since we have a little one on the way we've found it best that he goes to a family who has the time to give him attention and to get him trained. We are searching for someone who is experienced with high-energy breeds. Ozzy is very mellow for a Malinois but he still needs to be walked daily, and it would be in your best interest to get him leash-trained. We have been using a pronged collar to try and train him not to pull, but we have been unsuccessful. He has been good around our 3-year-old daughter, but there are many instances where his Maligator tendencies come out. I want to be as transparent as I can, so if you have any questions, please reach out. I want to be sure that he goes to a very loving family and to owners who are experienced and know what they're doing with this type of dog.
