Meet Trouble, a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois who has embraced his fresh start with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. Now in foster care and out of his previous difficult situation, Trouble is thriving as he adjusts to life as a pampered pup.
Trouble came from a challenging living situation where he was kept outdoors on a property with minimal resources and attention. His owner, an elderly man, was unable to provide the necessary care, leaving Trouble without veterinary care, training, or structure. The lack of stimulation and proper containment led to behaviors like chewing on wires and wandering off the property, causing tension with neighbors. Despite these hardships, Trouble remained a sweet, affectionate dog who craved human interaction and a more stable, loving environment.
Personality and Temperament
Trouble’s sweet, affectionate nature has shone brightly in his foster home. He loves physical affection and eagerly leans into pets, often pawing gently for more attention. He’s friendly, approachable, and completely non-aggressive. Trouble’s trusting demeanor makes him a joy to be around and a quick favorite with everyone he meets.
Progress in Foster Care
Since coming into foster care, Trouble has made significant strides in learning how to live indoors. He’s adjusting well to crate training, settling comfortably into a routine, and showing great potential for further training. His playful energy shines during toy time, where he enjoys a variety of toys and gentle interactions. While he’s still learning basic commands, his eagerness to please and quick adaptability indicate he’ll excel with consistent training and guidance.
