Okra's Story

Malinois lovers sought! Okra is a petite gal who is looking for someone to keep her busy and engaged while also nurturing her soft side. Okra was picked up as a stray by the dog shelter but never claimed. Although very nervous/anxious in new situations, Okra passed her temp test with flying colors at the shelter and presented for her spay only to be found to be heartworm positive, thereby derailing her potential for adoption. She was moved to our care for a prolonged treatment process and will be ready for adoption soon however keeping her in a foster home instead of a shelter environment was needed to maintain her mental sanity, hence why she is in our care. Okra is a busy and anxious gal when not engaged with her people so a family who is able to make her part of their daily activities is ideal as is someone who wants an active partner for exercise and adventure! More info coming soon once she completes her treatment but feel free to reach out with questions in advance if you are considering Okra as a potential new family member. Okra requires a home that will keep her on monthly preventives 12 months a year. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 52.125lbs Age: 2yrs 7mths 0wks
