Aditi
, though her name means
“boundless, freedom, and security,”
found herself in a shelter in Georgia after being picked up as a stray. The shelter staff fell in love with her sweet nature and the way she was able to get along with other dogs her size. They
reached out to ABMR to help save her life as she found herself unclaimed and on the dreaded list.
Just as the shelter promised,
Aditi is a total love.
At first, she would jump up to wrap her arms around the people she wanted, but her foster is
working to have her ask nicely for attention with all four on the floor.
She is mostly fine with the resident dogs. She plays nicely with the younger Malinois in the home. The elder, female Malinois mostly ignores her, but they can get fussy sometimes. It would probably be better for her to find a home without a dominant female dog. The shelter reported she was able to be with playgroup dogs there. Aditi is house trained, eats in her crate with a voracious appetite (recommend slow feeder or placing rubber balls in her bowl to slow her down), continues to work on basic house manners and settling in her crate. She doesn’t mind being in her crate to eat and will even go rest, but she is not always okay with the door being closed. She is building her tolerance for this, but thus far, she is not destructive in the home.
Aditi is really sneaky when it comes to affection. If you are not careful,
she will attempt to make an “Aditi sandwich”
by scooting between you and the back of the couch. She also
loves her ball
and will bring it to you for a game of fetch or happily run around the yard with it in her mouth. With that said Aditi has a
fantastic off switch
when indoors or when you take a rest on a lawn chair. She is
always ready for affection, and she enjoys hiking with her foster family and resident Malinois brother.
Adi
ti has been tested with a Malinois savvy child who has a double digit age, but due to some nipping for attention, she will not be placed in a home with single digit kiddos. She has also shown some prey drive, so no small pets or farm animals that she might endanger.
Aditi is located in Georgia and is ready for adoption. Reasonable transport can be arranged for her forever family.
Would you like to be Aditi’s next slice of bread?
