Hank is a Belgian Malinois mix, approximately 2-3 years old per our vet. He was abandoned by a neighbor and frequently left locked up, leading to repeated escapes. To keep him safe, we temporarily took him in and are now trying to find him a stable, permanent home or rescue placement. Hank is up to date on Rabies and DHPP vaccines and is not yet neutered. Temperament & personality: Very social and does great with other dogs Chases cats but has not shown intent to harm them Loves toys, rawhides, car rides, attention, and cuddles Very vocal and expressive - he loves to 'talk' Learns quickly and knows basic commands Walks well on a leash Behavior notes: Not comfortable in enclosed spaces (likely tied to his past confinement) Has some separation anxiety but has already shown noticeable improvement with routine and reassurance Bond-oriented and protective of his people in a loyal, Malinois-typical way - he thrives with structure, clear boundaries, and being part of a consistent pack. He does need safe human socializing. Due to once he picks his pack. He does not want any human trying to pet him. Likely due to original owner abuse. The amount of love he shows you once he trusts you is immeasurable. But he will snap at people he doesn't feel comfortable around. Hank would do best with an experienced, active home that understands working breeds and can continue building his confidence and training. He has so much potential and genuinely wants to belong. We are happy to provide photos, videos, vet records, or answer any questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for everything you do to help dogs like Hank.
