Gina is an 8-month-old spayed female Belgian Malinois mix currently living in a foster home in Martinez, CA. This sweet girl weighs 56 lbs and is ready to find her forever family. Gina’s beginning wasn’t easy; she was found as a tiny puppy, abandoned and sleeping in a cardboard box. Luckily, she’s now in a caring environment where she enjoys the company of her smaller dog friends. She loves playing tug-of-war and can often be seen trying to entice her foster siblings into a game by leaving toys beside them. While Gina does get along with smaller dogs, she's a bit unsure of larger ones, especially after being attacked before. Therefore, slow introductions are vital for her. Due to her enthusiasm around cats, it's best that she joins a cat-free household. Gina thrives on human companionship and is suitable for homes with children aged 10 and up. Her playful nature means she requires an active family willing to engage with her daily. In her foster home, she’s crate-trained and is successfully learning about house training. Gina walks well on a leash and is showing no signs of separation anxiety, making her a promising addition to the right home. Those interested in adopting Gina should ideally understand the needs of a large, active puppy and be committed to her ongoing socialization and training. Gina is a playful, affectionate companion who would flourish in an active environment, making each day an adventure. Your future with Gina could be filled with joy and love. Start your journey today!
