Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Sapphire. She is the sister to Ferris who we took in from a local shelter after they were found abandoned, along with their other two siblings. These siblings are not purebred but about 80% Malinois. They have medium hair coats and Sapphire is about 45lbs.
Our gal Sapphire has grown into a beautiful adolescent. As predicted she is a medium size dog, almost full grown. The intelligence and focusing nature is so natural and a beautiful thing to witness. She trains very easily and we have discovered her instinct is to chase cats so a cat free home is mandatory. She is not a yappy girl but will talk while playing. She has continued to get along well with the other dogs in the foster home. She still is given baths in the tub and handles the routine well. She is currently eating Pro Plan Puppy food twice daily. She is crate trained and is fed in her crate each time.
The ideal home for Sapphire is one where she is socialized with people on a regular basis. This breed is a fabulous family dog whose loyalty will be demonstrated all the time. We are looking for a family that will take her to obedience classes to continue her socialization and keep her mind active. This breed requires a job to do so stimuli involving thinking tasks on a daily basis is very important. She loves to run and would be a star candidate for agility classes. She is agile and a climber and due to her breed, a chain link fence would not work for her. Considering they are Malinois mixes they are not high energy dogs, they are both medium energy pups.
Sapphire is up to date with vaccines, de wormed and will be microchipped prior to the adoption. The adoption fee includes her spay at the West Lorne Animal Hospital once she reaches 1 year of age. She is on heartworm flea tick medicine as well.
Sapphire would do well as an only dog or with another socialized male dog to allow for the best dynamic.
A fully fenced yard or farm is mandatory for our Sapphire.
Thank you to Heidi K Photography for showcasing Sapphire's beauty.
