Currently fostered in VA

Looking for a dog with a heart as big as her ears? Meet Bela — a gentle, soulful girl who's been patiently waiting for her person to come along.


Bela is more reserved than her outgoing sister, but don't let that fool you — once she trusts you, she really trusts you. Her fosters describe her as sweet, sensitive, and smart as a whip.


✨ A few things to know about Bela:

She loves head and ear rubs (prepare to be charmed by her little white chin while she leans into your hand). Knows sit and stay — unless a squirrel, cat, or deer tempts her wild side. Polite at mealtimes — sits and waits to be told she can eat. Walks great on a leash and is comfortable with a collar or harness. Prefers not to be crated (she's been known to Houdini her way out). She sleeps peacefully on a dog bed in the bedroom at night, but is crated when her humans leave the house. Protective of her toys and treats, but no issues with food. Needs supervision in a fenced yard — this girl has serious squirrel-chasing dreams and can climb fences (and yes, even trees). Not cat-friendly, and barks at visitors, but settles down once everyone is inside and seated. Then, she'll graciously accept pets and attention like the dignified queen she is. She may shake at the vet or hang back in new situations, but Bela has a kind and trusting heart. With a patient adopter and a bit of encouragement, she'll blossom into your most loyal companion.




ABMR thanks you for taking the time to look at our malinois available for adoption.
