About Gina

Gina is an 8-month-old spayed female Belgian Malinois mix in search of a loving forever home. At 56 lbs, she thrives in her foster home in Houston, TX, and is ready to transport out of state for the right adopter. Gina had a rough start, having been found abandoned as a puppy, but is now blossoming in her foster care. This spirited girl enjoys playful moments with small dog friends and loves a good game of tug of war. Though she can be hesitant around larger dogs due to her past experiences, she plays well with dogs of all sizes in her current home. Slow introductions are key for her, especially since she prefers to steer clear of cats due to her enthusiastic demeanor. Gina loves being around people but hasn't interacted with children in her foster setting. She can jump when excited, so a household with older, dog-savvy kids (10 and up) would be best. An active environment is ideal, where daily playtime is encouraged. This clever puppy has learned how to fetch and enjoys gathering her toys in her bed. She’s crate trained and handles time in her crate well, making her a smart fit for loving families or individuals who can dedicate time to her socialization, training, and exercise needs. Gina aims to be a wonderful addition to the right family; all she needs is a little guidance to thrive. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
