Adopt Colombino

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Colombino was found by police wandering around a nearby town. He is only a year old and all points out that, as with too many Malinois, he was acquired as a whim, without thinking of his needs, and abandoned when he was no longer small and manageable. He is an extremely intelligent dog of his race, but also very energetic, sensitive and easily over-stimulated. With people he is sociable, friendly and very loving. He loves human contact, doesn't take well to stay alone and constantly seeks closeness. You let yourself be manipulated. Even so, he is a teenager: he has little experience in the world and is still learning to regulate his emotions. In addition to this, since it is difficult for him to carry the confinement and the lack of activity well, the stress overflows him. For the moment, the presence of other dogs or other animals activates you too much and does not know how to manage it, something normal in young dogs of this race without previous work. The energy it accumulates also does not facilitate such regulation. We seek for him an active and committed family that can offer you: Long walks, regular physical and mental activity Clear rutins and consistent limits, as any young dog needs progressive socialization and the hand of an educator who does not stay just too long, especially at the beginning Malinois are incredibly capable dogs, with enormous potential, but also of the most complex. They're not a fashion, they need guidance and work. If you have experience with race or high-energy dogs and look for a partner who wants to learn and grow by your side, Colombino can become an exceptional dog. Please think about it: he deserves a family that understands his needs and wants to commit to them. If you have any doubts, write us. Leishmania negative analysis. He's already castrated. Test 4 Idoxx (ehrlichia, philaria, anaplasma and borrelia) negative. Show more of your story Show less

Colombino fue encontrado por la policía vagando por un pueblo cercano. Solo tiene un año y todo apunta a que, como ocurre con demasiados Malinois, fue adquirido como un capricho, sin pensar en sus necesidades, y abandonado cuando ya no era pequeño y manejable. Es un perro extremadamente inteligente propio de su raza, pero también muy enérgico, sensible y fácilmente sobre estimulado. Con las personas es sociable, simpático y muy cariñoso. Le encanta el contacto humano, no lleva bien quedarse solo y busca constantemente la cercanía. Se deja manipular sin problema. Aun así, es un adolescente: tiene poca experiencia en el mundo y todavía está aprendiendo a regular sus emociones. Sumado a ello, dado que le cuesta llevar bien el encierro y la falta de actividad, el estrés le desborda. De momento, la presencia de otros perros u otros animales le activa demasiado y no sabe gestionarlo, algo normal en perros jóvenes de esta raza sin un trabajo previo. La energía que acumula tampoco facilita esa regulación. Buscamos para él una familia activa y comprometida, que pueda ofrecerle: Paseos largos, actividad física y mental regular Rutinas claras y límites consistentes, como necesita cualquier perro joven Socialización progresiva y de la mano de un educador Que no se quede solo demasiado tiempo, sobre todo al principio Los Malinois son perros increíblemente capaces, con un potencial enorme, pero también de los más complejos. No son una moda, necesitan guía y trabajo. Si tienes experiencia con la raza o con perros de alta energía y buscas un compañero con ganas de aprender y crecer a tu lado, Colombino puede convertirse en un perro excepcional. Por favor, piénsalo bien: él merece una familia que entienda sus necesidades y quiera comprometerse con ellas. Si tienes dudas, escríbenos. Analítica de leishmania negativa. Ya está castrado. Test 4 Idexx (ehrlichia, filaria, anaplasma y borrelia) negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos
