Mariner is a 6-month-old Belgian Malinois who’s as smart as they come, but with a calmer, more easygoing temperament. She’s eager to learn, loves to please, and thrives on positive reinforcement and routine. Unlike the high-octane Malinois you often hear about, Mariner has a moderate drive — she enjoys activity, playtime, and mental challenges, but also knows how to relax and settle down when it’s time. She would be a perfect fit for a family experienced with working breeds or one that understands the Malinois’ need for structure, consistency, and engagement. With regular training and a “job” to do, whether that’s obedience work, hiking buddy, or canine sports, Mariner will shine. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, and steady Malinois to grow with your family, Mariner might just be your perfect match! She will be around 50 pounds as an adult and is crate trained. All our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have been dewormed and are current on vaccinations. Our adoption fee includes 30 days of complimentary medical insurance for your new pet. Breed and size is frequently a guess and can not be guaranteed. Our dogs are fostered on a private residence, we do not have a free standing shelter. They live on a farm where they run and play with other dogs, cats, horses, and barnyard fowl. Initial contact with us must be made through e-mail. E-mail ARFofMercer@gmail.com directly for an adoption application or with any questions. Once your adoption application is approved, you will be invited to meet our dogs/puppies.
