MarcoFox is a hunky 18 month old male purebred Belgian Malinois. Marco was literally starving to death at only 30lbs when we rescued him. He will need to go to a working breed experienced home and would excel at obedience competition, agility or other sports. Marco is INTENSELY focused on "his" person and would do anything to please. Marco is a typical Malinois and badly needs intense daily exercise and stimulation. He has good ball drive, intense focus and is responsive to even the quietest word or whistle from his handler. He is a possible SAR/detection prospect for the right home.
Marco is very people focused and would be elated to be in a home where he had his people all to himself, he was snarky with the other dogs in his foster home at first, but now tolerates them as a necessary obstacle to get attention from his beloved foster mom (and will even play with them on occasion). Marco is a brilliant escape artist and can escape from most dog crates if he feels like it unless proper precautions are taken. However, he typically crates very well and runs right in on command ("Kennel!"), but this is not a dog who will be happy being confined for long periods of time.
Please do your research on the Malinois breed before inquiring about Marco, they are typically not great "pet" dogs but can be amazing companions to the right person.
MarcoFox is neutered, current on all vaccines, and micro-chipped. Level 3 Dog Adoption Donation $325
