About Maxine

Meet Maxine. Maxine is a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois who came to us from an overcrowded shelter, and like many dogs of her breed, the shelter environment has been tough on her. Malinois are incredibly intelligent, active, and sensitive dogs that thrive with structure and purpose—something hard to find in a kennel. Maxine would greatly benefit from finding her forever home soon. Since arriving, Maxine has shown just how adaptable and sweet she is. She’s eased into her new environment, and her loving personality shines through more each day. This girl adores squeaky toys, loves a good game of fetch, and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. She does well meeting new people; though she may bark initially as she assesses the situation, she warms up quickly and is eager to bond. Maxine has specific adoption requirements. She will only be adopted to applicants with approved applications, and homes must be suitable for her breed and needs. Belgian Malinois require experienced, dedicated owners who understand their high energy level and intelligence. Adopters will be thoughtfully selected to ensure the best fit for Maxine’s future.
