Heidi's Story

❤️ Heidi<br/>Location: South FL (WPB Area)<br/><br/>Heidi is currently being fostered and trained by a dog trainer. We are working on building weight, muscle, confidence, and overall structure. Up to date on vetting and preventative care. Spayed 4/16.<br/><br/>Temperament Evaluation: Evaluated by foster/trainer. Heidi is affectionate, environmentally aware, high energy, social/friendly with people she’s met, clean/quiet in the kennel, potty trained, and shows typical Malinois traits including athletic, loyal, very intelligent, and high trainability. <br/>Extremely high toy drive, good possession. Will also play fetch. Moderate food drive (can be built but much rather work for her ball/tug) <br/>Overall super fun, driven, eager to learn, loves her people. <br/><br/>Job/Sport Potential: Best suited for an active, structured home. Could enjoy sport foundations, obedience, detection-style games, hiking, or an outlet-heavy companion home. She does not need a sport home, but she absolutely needs a handler with Malinois knowledge and consistency willing to provide training and breed specific enrichment. She is not a couch potato. <br/><br/>Training History: Currently working on basic obedience, impulse control, and improving cooperative play. As well as overall house manners and off switch. <br/>Ball-obsessed. Loves to tug. Will work for just about any toy. Has an OUT. Perfect in the crate and in the car. <br/>Will be off leash/e collar trained. <br/><br/>Dog/Cat/Kid Notes: Good with male dogs but can be pesty, but will back off when told. Was informed dominant with female dogs but currently untested. Cats most likely not recommended. No young children recommended due to mouthiness and prey instinct.<br/><br/>Heidi is the kind of dog that will excel with the perfect handler—she just needs direction, consistency, and an outlet. She is a fun, driven young dog with a lot of potential in the right hands.

PLAY! K9 Rescue's Adoption Policy
We review every application thoroughly, checking address, history of violence, proper yard and exercise plans. Ensure the adopter has a current vet and that any other pets in the home are current on medical treatment and seen by a veterinarian. Our adopters are also screened by the foster. Our fosters know the dogs best, and know what home is ideal for the dog. We do not just send a dog to the first applicant we receive.
