Zeus (the third) has clearly had some training. He already knows how to sit, lay down and shake! Belgian Malinois are extremely smart and thrive in an environment with lots of continued training and mental stimulation. They are frequently trained as police K9 dogs or service dogs because they need a job to do and keep their brain busy. This breed is not suitable for someone without large dog experience or working breed/high energy experience.
Zeus would do best in a large yard with secure high fencing and someone with an active lifestyle. He would be perfect for someone who runs daily or goes hiking regularly. Zeus would do best in a household with older teens who have been around high energy dogs before. We have not had Zeus around other dogs just yet, a meet and greet is required if there are already dogs in the household. No cats please.
When Zeus had his photo shoot, the photo team said he was calm, sweet, gentle when taking food, and well behaved. He also learned quickly to sit up for treats! (This boy is a smartie!)
To foster or adopt Zeus, visit or call the shelter 818 238 3340 to make an appointment.
