About Gina

Gina is an 8-month-old spayed female Belgian Malinois mix currently in a foster home in Martinez, CA. At 56 lbs, she’s a playful and engaging pup who loves her toys and enjoys interacting with other dogs, especially smaller ones. Found abandoned as a puppy, she’s come a long way and is eager to find her forever home. Though she gets along well with dog buddies, Gina can be apprehensive around larger dogs due to a past incident, so careful introductions are essential. She hasn't been around children in her foster care, but her energy suggests she’d thrive with older, dog-savvy kids who can match her excitement. Gina is crate trained and is doing well with house training, often staying accident-free for up to 8 hours. Active and intelligent, she needs a family committed to providing her the exercise, training, and socialization to help her grow into a well-behaved adult. She’s ready to bring joy and energy into your life! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
