Calling all Velcro malinois fans! Have we got a cuddle bug for you! Aspen is a young spayed female malinois ready for her forever home. Like any rescue mal, she has some adorable personality quirks and special needs that just makes her all the more irresistible.

A classic Velcro mal, she wants to be with her people at all times. She will demonstrate her awesome Houdini talents and escape from a wire crate if you turn your back. She isn’t being destructive or naughty… just wants to be with her beloved people. She is a champion couch snuggler, and she just might poke her nose into the shower to see if you are ever going to come out. A creative and playful gal, she will make her own blankets forts and play under there by herself or urge her human to play too.

Outdoors, she respects the fence at her foster’s home. Heck, why leave? Home is where her people are! She is a ball-loving speed demon with a nice off switch and loves to run. Best with male dogs, she can be a bit pushy with females. Aspen has met children as young as 9 years old and did beautifully. She also does well with dogs her size, but no cats, please! As with all malinois, she requires clear leadership, and consistent training and handling. She is social, likes people, meets strangers well, walks nicely on the leash, and is – for a malinois – an easy keeper!

Aspen came from St. Louis, where she was picked up with chemical burns on her back and head. She healed well, and the only remaining issue from this medical concern is that she does have some bare patches that will need to be monitored. A warm winter coat is all she needs to enjoy the Minnesota winter at her foster home.
