Tanz's Story
? Meet Tanzanite (TANS) – The Young Maligator with Big Potential ?<br/><br/>? Available for Adoption – $400<br/><br/>Tans isn’t your average house dog. He’s an 8-month-old Belgian Malinois, which means three things:<br/>Intensity. Intelligence. Drive.<br/>If you know, you know.<br/><br/>This boy is full-throttle from sun-up to sundown. He’s built for work, movement, and connection—and needs a handler or active home that understands working breeds and is serious about continuing his training, sport exposure, or working lifestyle.<br/><br/>? The Rundown:<br/> • Tons of toy and ball drive<br/> • Naturally social with people and other dogs (submissive to most)<br/> • Actively learning obedience foundations—great sport candidate<br/> • Crate trained (still working on being quiet in chaos)<br/> • Potty training: almost there, but still needs structure<br/> • Very food motivated (he’ll work for hot dogs)<br/> • Health: Fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, on preventatives<br/> • Not yet neutered (will need to be done after 12 months unless actively competing in working sports)<br/><br/>Tans has been well socialized with new sights, sounds, and environments. He thrives in routine, training, and structure—and would crumble in a home that simply wants a chill pet. He is not that dog. He’s young, driven, and deeply loyal, and he needs someone with the energy and experience to match.<br/><br/>?? Important Notes:<br/> • No couch potato homes.<br/> • Not suited for first-time dog owners.<br/> • No grain-free diets – he has a sensitive stomach and needs a stable, grain-inclusive food.<br/> • He’s got what it takes to go far in sport, obedience, tracking, or protection—with the right person leading the way.<br/><br/>Tanzanite isn’t a “project”—he’s a partner in progress. If you’re serious about working dogs and want a prospect you can shape and build with, this pup will give you his all—and then some.<br/><br/>? Think you’re the right fit?<br/>Send us an email with some details about your experience, lifestyle, and why you think you’re the right match for Tans. We’ll send over an adoption application, and if approved, we’ll schedule a meet and greet.<br/><br/>He’s got fire in his heart and gears in his brain. Now he just needs someone ready to give him a job—and a home.
