At Her Feet Was A Foot-Loose Mal

Please help 🧡Baby Girl 🧡find a new home. Abandoned in the middle of the city in a park with a playground full of children and their parents. Baby Girl spent the better part of that day seeking the attention of them all, friendlily approaching the children. Some of the children wanted to pet her but the parents were scared and yelled and shooed her away. Baby Girl eventually felt the nurturing vibe of the woman who was to become her rescuer; and came over to share the blanket she had spread on the grass for her and her baby.

Baby Girl is a friendly girl but she's definitely not a cream-puff. She's about 65 pounds and looks to be a Malinois mix (maybe part lab, maybe part german shepherd.) Typical of these breeds she has bonded quickly with her rescuer and already looks to her for direction. Baby Girl gets along super well with the other dog in the house and the rescuer's 12 year old son. The landlord has graciously allowed her to stay for the time being but Blue-Collar Dog Rescue has been asked to help Baby Girl find a permanent home. Baby Girl is currently in the California Bay Area but can travel anywhere in the US. Please help her find a home where she'll be loved and out of danger. Message C Tate Elliott with questions and interest.

Jail break!

Known where-abouts: This stunning young man is still in the LA area ostensibly waiting to jump on the next transport train to Oregon state to rendevous with his adopter who is a K-9 trainer/handler. But beware, he's been leaving broken hearts every place he goes. I have on the greatest confidence inside information that his temporary foster is already totally in love with him. Jail break provided by Chelsey Bosic and Blue-Collar Dog Rescue.

Remember Rogue River? He came to Blue-Collar Dog Rescue earlier this year after he was found as a stray puppy in Northern California. https://www.facebook.com/profile/100010025441336/search/?q=rogue%20river

UPDATE: fast forward.. after several months in finishing school at foster Michael Bird's ranch in Southern California he's ready for a home of his own!

This is what Michael says about Rogue: He's a fun loving snuggle bug! Loves just about everyone he meets but is still protective of his person if need be. Outgoing and energetic. Great with other dogs. Loves people and kids. He has been exposed to cats and showed interest but no desire to chase or harm them. Loves the car and shops well at Tractor Supply.

3-year-old Dutch Shepherd with Litter of Five ~ Litter ID: A587293 ~ Quarantine Hold Ends 7/26/24
Mama was protecting her babies that were only days old when the bite occurred. In the shelter she has still felt it was necessary to protect them.

We will be seeking IMMEDIATE RESCUE for litter ID: A587293; 3-year-old Female brindle Dutch Shepherd with a litter of five male puppies just 6-days-old.
This family was living in a homeless encampment when a citizen walked by with a bike, the dog came out and bit causing 2 punctures inside the knee and a chunk missing from the calf (bite synopsis below). This is a mama dog was in a very uncertain environment trying to protect her litter of newborn puppies. On intake shelter staff were able to process this dog, no notes indicate difficulty in handling.
Mama is still feeling the need to protect her litter but we're hoping that with quality treats and a little down time she will settle.

Bite Synopsis: Victim walking bike on 9th street, dog came out and bit causing 2 punctures inside knee and a chunk missing left calf. This would be considered a level 4-5 on the Dunbar scale. Dog was determined to have 5 newborn puppies.

Quarantine will be abated on 7/26; we need immediate rescue following the abatement. If you're able to find a foster that can be ready to accept this litter, they will need to be tagged and pulled by 7/30/24 at 4:30pm.

Immediate need. Fundraiser for transport. $650 NEEDED for transport with Hoffman Transport, LLC

Blue-Collar Dog Rescue is asking for your donations to send at-risk Oakland Animal Services 7 month old black malinois 'Zeus' to his Massachusetts adopter. As always, the best way to contribute is on the Zeffy link/Donate button at https://bluecollardogrescue.com/
Specify that your donation is for Zeus' transport.

Blue Collar has been working with this adopter for some time and was referred to him through a network of previous adopters - so this adopter has been well vetted and we have great reason to believe Zeus is the perfect dog for him!

Can you please help Zeus do the freedom drive? So many wonderful dogs are at risk of euthanasia. Blue-Collar Dog Rescue has discovered that the best solution and best adopters are sometimes a long drive away. Your donation of any amount will get Zeus closer to his forever home. Time is of the essence. Zeus is on the 'priority' dog list as of last night.

UPDATE. ZEUS beautiul BLACK MALINOIS IS ON THE AT_RISK LIST! ALONG WITH 30 + other dogs. OAKLAND LIKE SO MANY OTHER SHELTERS IS DESPERATE. IT'S LOOKING GRIM.

More photos and video on the Oakland Animal Services website. This 7 month Belgian Shepherd Malinois is eminently trainable, driven, beautiful and looking for his forever home!
🖤 Zeus is a high-energy dog who loves to play and is always ready for a good game of fetch. His intelligence and playful nature make him a fun and engaging companion.
🖤 Zeus has plenty of energy to burn and loves to run and play, especially fetch, with his human friends.
🖤 After his energy needs are met he becomes affectionate and enjoys cuddles and pets from volunteers and staff!
🖤 Zeus shows great potential for being highly trainable and smart. He already is showing signs of understanding recall and other commands.
🖤 This breed needs mental stimulation and exercise! He would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his energy and enjoy his playful antics.
Come meet beautiful Zeus this weekend!
has adoption hours on Thursdays 12 to 7pm, and Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays from 12 to 3pm, no appointment needed. 🥳
Please share Zeus so we can find him a home 🥺🏡

Young Malinois Boy gets along with cats and small dogs! Many adopters have dreamed of a malinois that gets along with cats!

This boy was recently rescued by an amazing family. Found in an open field area with wounds to his front and back paw - he could hardly walk and initially had to be carried up (and down) the stairs. The vet prescribed anitibotics and anti-inflams and he is quickly on the mend.

Per the vet: Aside from the injuries he seems in very good health. Not microchipped.

The rescuers live in a small apartment and can't reasonably keep him. Although he does well in the house he needs an accessible area were he can go outside. They say: "If we could keep him we would because of how sweet and loving he is. He is very mellow. He follows us around the apartment, listens well, and gets along great with our other animals. (The cats and three small dogs.) He plays with the largest dog - 20 pounds. He is house trained. He is an amazing, loving dog who just wants to be in a loving home."

Prim was at the Blue-Collar Dog Rescue Pet Food Express adoption event today in Albany CA. I could't have been more pleased at how she interacted with both dogs and people. She's been in basic training with Blue-Collar Dog Rescue for a few weeks now. (Incomprehensible that this exemplary dog could have been on the E-list at a SoCAL shelter due to a kennel cough diagnosis) She's a petite girl, about a year and about 51 pounds, with a classic Malinois physique. She's so attentive and smart and eager to please. She gets what you're asking her to do and typically complies within one or two corrections. (The second correction is sometimes necessary just because she seems to want to make sure she heard you right the first time :) She not a super high energy MAL - she'd make a great companion MAL, but that's not to say that she doesn't have an edge and isn't watchful of the well being of her people. She's a wonderful girl that I'd keep in my own MAL-pack if it didn't mean not having the space to save the life of another wonderful dog. She's available to the right home.

Please share to your profile and groups and adopt, foster, rescue.

Who's that masked mama? It's sweet Yvette. Yvette's due date is coming up very soon - and I'm not talking about delivery. Yvette's puppies have come and gone. Yvette is on the urgent list and her date could be as soon as Monday the 10th.

The shelter notes say: "Yvette enjoys human company, preferring to stay close without being overly clingy. She loves exploring and engaging with her people in familiar spaces. While she may need some basic obedience training, her gentle nature and eagerness to please make her a quick learner." This classic masked MAL girl looks a bit tousled in these photos but nothing that a good grooming won't fix. Yvette needs a adopter, foster or rescue today
