About Belladonna
Belladonna is a Belgian Malinois with both brains and athleticism to spare. At just over two years old, she’s a sharp, lively dog with a ton of personality who loves to work, play, and learn. Quick to chase after a ball or show off her impressive zoomies, Belladonna brings real energy to everything she does. True to her Malinois nature, she’s got a strong prey drive—outdoor walks catch her eye with every lizard and bird that scurries past. She already knows her basics (sit, down-stay, come), and she’s crate trained, sleeping quietly through the night. Her background is tough; after being surrendered when her family moved, she spent time in a high-risk shelter until rescue gave her another shot. She’s looking for an experienced adopter who knows Malinois and is ready for daily activity, engagement, and structure. Belladonna needs adults only and should be the sole animal in the home. She’s spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Ready for adventure, she’ll reward you with intense loyalty and endless fun. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
