r/malinois

His to family chose to surrender him after he didn’t get along with their small dog.Instead of trying to fix the problem,they rather got rid of him..

🆘His final notice already expired.
His time has run out and he is scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow morning if no foster or adopter will be found 🆘

Arlo A5779814  1yr Male Shepsky 72 lbs.

Surrender notes:
Very attentive to things around, he loves watching birds, he loves stuffed animals and although he’s big, he loves to cuddle
He was friendly with larger dogs / a German shepherd in particular, but didn’t do well with smaller dogs
Playful with children, good in the car, pulls on leash and barks at other dogs on walks,
Knows commands: sit, paw, wait, take it
His favorite toys are stuffies and his favorite activities: tug of war and playing with stuffies

On 5/27/26 A5779814 climbed out of its enclosure and had an incident with the 3 year old Dachshund causing a little wound to the right shoulder.

The behaviors described today reflect the dog’s responses in a shelter environment. It may differ significantly from how they behave in a home.
Arlo (Intact) was at the front of the kennel with a calm demeanor when the runner arrived. He allowed himself to
be leashed with ease and then exited the kennel on his own. However, Arlo was barking toward his neighboring kennels,
with a tense posture along the way. Arlo was then allowed into the yard, where he stood with a stiff posture as he was greeted by some of the dogs. Arlo then
lunged toward one of the dogs but stopped when the handler intervened with a correction tool.
He was unable to coexist peacefully in the yard and was then returned to his kennel; however, firm leash guidance was needed as he refused to enter on his own.

Can you foster or responsibly adopt him?

Recently I’ve been encountering people who have wanted to touch my dog or let there dogs come up to my dog and every time I respectfully tell them I’m sorry she’s in training and they end up looking very offended. What do you tell people to make them less offended? My dog is not a biter but she has low growled at certain people especially strange men. So naturally I don’t want people coming up to her just in case.

This is Bearstein. He is a 1 year old German shepherd and his animal ID is #A5781881. He is so so precious, I love his crinkle forehead and his puppy dog eyes!! He has so much love to give and he deserves so much love!!
This is Koda. He is a 1 year and 2 month old German shepherd mix and his animal ID is #A5704898. Koda is such a little angel and he is just the perfect size not too big and not too small just perfect!! He is such a calm and mellow dog with an amazing personality!!

🔹 Intake:
6/28/2026: Three German Shepherds were reported at the entrance to the pool.

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/29/2026: At the front of the kennel Carly appeared semi-tense with a lowered head and low tail. She allowed leashing and walking to the runs without issue. While in the run she growled, showed whale eyes, tucked her tail, and approached cautiously but refused treats. She allowed leashing again and walked calmly back to her kennel. She removed the leash easily but barked at people passing by the kennel.

6/29/2026: Carly alarm barked as staff approached. She was leashed and walked to the back intake area. When another technician appeared she became focused and barked. She resisted restraint, required a muzzle, and struggled intensely ("alligator rolling," thrashing, and vocalizing) during handling before additional staff safely restrained her.

🚑 Medical Notes:

6/28/2026: Weighed 44.0 lbs. Intake condition normal.
6/29/2026: Heartworm test Negative. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention.

Sanchez was given a few minutes & he didn’t “perform” the way a “good dog” was expected to.
He didn’t do well with other dogs.
That one moment became a label.

🚨Now, instead of getting the chance to find the right home, he’s scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow morning.🚨

Sanchez #A5780931 3yr Male GSD 70 lbs.

The behaviors described reflect the dog’s responses in a stressful shelter environment. A dog’s behavior in a high euthanasia shelter may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement &unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out—or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog’s behavior may change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization &life experiences.

Sanchez was wearing a muzzle when the handler began the assessment. He approached the handler with a neutral body &allowed the handler to
pet his head, neck &back. When the handler tried to pet him anywhere else, his body tensed &he became extremely antsy. He laid down, rolled over, jumped up & tried to run away. He was difficult to restrain, but the handler was able to calm him down &continue petting his back. A dog happened to walk close to the catch pen at that point &Sanchez lunged across the handler while attempting to bite the other dog. He was still wearing the muzzle at this point.
After that the handler was able to remove the muzzle &return Sanchez to his kennel with no issues.

He was unable to coexist with the other dogsin the yard &has a medium energy level.

Sanchez just needs one person willing to love him for who he is &another chance.

He is being kept out of public view, so many of the people who could save him may never even know he exists.

Some dogs aren’t meant to live with other dogs.
That doesn’t make them unworthy.
And it certainly shouldn’t make tomorrow their last day.

🚨 Sanchez urgently needs a foster or adopter.
• No other dogs
• Shepherd experience preferred

His final notice expired 6/13!
Conan #A5540029 6yr Male German Shep 88 Ibs.
Owner surrendered due to responsibility 5/26/26

Conan is a gentle, people-oriented dog who was easy to handle throughout his assessments. During his handling evaluation, he remained calm and relaxed, readily accepted petting, and even offered his paw when asked.
He enjoyed affection, leaning into his handler for head and ear scratches, and displayed no concerning behaviors during handling.

In playgroup, Conan entered the yard with a slightly nervous but tolerant demeanor. He preferred to explore the environment, stay close to handlers, and solicit affection rather than engage with the other dogs. At times, he appeared anxious and would whine or pace, but he remained manageable and responsive to handler guidance. He showed mild possessive behavior over handler attention on one occasion, which stopped immediately with correction.
Overall, Conan was social with people, tolerant of other dogs, and did not display a defined play style during his assessment. He would likely do well with calm canine companions and a home that can help build his confidence while providing plenty of affection and reassurance. Calm dog recommended

Yesterday, his friend in the kennel next to him was euthanized ... and Coco is still sitting there, waiting, not understanding why it wasn’t him.
Coco is only 5 years old and truly such a handsome, soulful boy. Just look at his face... you can tell he wants connection so badly.
Right now, he’s scared and overwhelmed in the shelter environment. The noise, the confinement, the constant stress-it’s a lot for any dog to handle. Because of that, he’s been having a hard time showing his true personality.
But dogs like Coco don’t belong in kennels... they belong in homes where they can finally relax, feel safe, and just be dogs.
He urgently needs a rescue, foster, or adopter willing to give him that chance.
He doesn’t need perfection-he just needs someone to believe in him.
Please don’t let Coco become another dog who never makes it out.

Please dm me or email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com if you can foster or adopt Coco.
