Meet Gemma, a beautiful 4 year old spayed female Belgian Malinois searching for a loving foster or forever home. Gemma originally was rescued from euthanasia and brought into rescue from a CA shelter over a year ago and found a family. Unfortunately, due to her current owners no longer being able to care for her, she is finding herself coming back into rescue. Gemma is everything people love about the breed: intelligent, loyal, and deeply devoted to her people, but with a low to medium energy level than many expect from a Malinois. She enjoys being involved in daily life and thrives on companionship, making her a wonderful partner for someone looking for a close bond with their dog.Gemma is crate trained, knows her commands in German, and appreciates structure, consistency, and clear expectations. She is affectionate, well-mannered, and loves spending time with her people. She enjoys having a job to do, learning new things, and being an active part of the family.When it comes to other dogs, Gemma is selective and prefers a calm, structured environment. She would do best as an only dog or with a calm, highly obedient canine companion. She is not a fan of dogs that don’t follow the rules and appreciates a household where expectations are clear and well managed.Gemma would thrive with someone experienced with working breeds or anyone who understands the value of consistency, leadership, and engagement. In return, you’ll gain an incredibly loyal, intelligent companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side.If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who combines the intelligence and loyalty of a Belgian Malinois with a more moderate energy level, Gemma may be the perfect match.To apply to foster or adopt Gemma please fill out an application at www.madrescueinc.orgPlease apply for Gemma at www.madrescueinc.org All MAD dogs come microchipped with a lifetime registration as well as a FI GPS collar with a 6 month free subscription We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.
