In the shelter’s words
Rizz’s journey began in an Alabama shelter, where she arrived as a neglect case. The shelter staff quickly fell in love with her sweet, affectionate personality and reached out to ABMR. Just as the shelter promised, Rizz is a heart wrapped in fur. She absolutely soaks up affection, loving nothing more than leaning in for a full-body squish. Rizz’s foster is working on teaching her to ask nicely for attention with all four on the floor since she has never met a stranger and has no concept of personal space. Rizz is, in fact, hoping to audition for the role of your personal stalker. She will quietly follow you around, almost as if she’s hoping that if she’s quiet enough, she won’t be relegated to a crate or kennel. She probably didn’t have much, if any, exposure to being an indoor pet, so she’s working on basic house manners like paws off counters, the sanctity of garbage cans and sinks, and sitting nicely at doors. Furniture and cozy blankets are new to her, but she’s definitely a fan. She has a surprisingly good off switch for an adolescent Malinois, and is content to chew on her favorite toys like Benebones when just hanging out. Like most Malinois, if left to her own devices, she will destroy almost any toy that is intended to be interactive. She loves training time and shows real potential to be a fun, sporty girl. She enjoys using her nose to explore, and has even been tested on odor. She loves outdoor playtime, especially with frisbees, Holee rollers, and Jolly Balls, and will happily bring you a toy for a game. She prefers treats or hugs to toy trades. She loves to zoom around the yard with a toy, or play with it like a cat. She’s responsive in large fenced areas, keeping track of where her people are, checking in on her own, and recalling with enthusiasm. Rizz is not safe with small dogs, cats, or pocket pets. She's been successfully incorporated into playgroups of medium and large dogs since being with her foster, but her boisterous, adolescent, bull-in-china-shop ways mean that it is always advised to use care with introductions. Rizz is alert and calm with delivery folks, tree trimmers, neighbors, and even noisy snowmobiles and UTVs. There’s a very solid core of resilience in this girl that transcends her minimal socialization and exposure to the world. She’s thoughtful when exposed to novel events, not timid or spooky. Rizz is about 23” at the shoulders and a very lean 41 lbs. She is very accepting of grooming and handling, including baths, blow drying, and dremeling of toenails. Rizz is located in Wisconsin and is ready for adoption. Reasonable transport can be arranged for her forever family. Would you like to be Rizz’s everything?
