The shelter does not ship, so be sure you find a dog that’s local to you or convenient for pickup. The adoption fee will vary based on the dog; your puppy will come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccines. You’ll be required to complete a detailed application before adopting from this shelter. The team wants to know about your experience with dogs – Malinois in particular – and about your household. The team does place dogs into homes with children, but this is considered on a case-by-case basis. They do not adopt to law enforcement or other organizations; in fact, many surrendered dogs are in the shelter because they’re not good work dogs.
The shelter will not adopt dogs to families with children under 12, without Malinois experience, or without a fenced yard. Malinois Rescue League works with an international network to rescue dogs. Those puppies are brought to the United States, medically treated, and fostered. The MRL has strict requirements for adoptive homes, and you’ll be required to participate in a home visit.
