About Seven

Meet Seven! Seven is a remarkable Belgian Malinois who has turned his life around since being rescued from a California shelter. Initially surrendered by an owner, he arrived at the shelter in a dire state, emaciated and battling a severe skin infection that left him nearly hairless. Thanks to a devoted foster, Seven has thrived and is now ready to find his forever home. As a working dog, Seven possesses tremendous ball drive and is highly motivated. He's already been introduced to odor detection and shows great promise for detection work or other structured activities. This dog truly enjoys having a job. Seven is neutral around other dogs, making him a candidate for multi-dog households, provided there’s an experienced handler who understands their needs. While he's adaptable, he doesn't require canine companions to be happy; he just needs a job and a dedicated person of his own. We seek someone who comprehends his drive and is prepared to provide the structure and activities essential for his well-being. After spending considerable time in foster care, we’d love nothing more than to help Seven find a permanent home where his potential can shine. This incredible dog has already beaten the odds. Now, he deserves someone who recognizes how much he has to offer. Interested in adopting Seven? Apply today!
