DH just said that we could look into fostering for malinois rescue to see if we can handle living with one!:thumbsupsmileyanim:
This is the same DH who thought that he wanted the next dog to be more couch potato like, but he's obviously not as wedded to that idea as I thought.
Soooo we currently foster for ACD rescue, have one ACD/GSD?Mali? mix, a corgi mix, and I had a ACD/BC mix until losing her to cancer. I've read the "so you want a malinois" thread and I did work with an oversized malinois boy years ago. Is there anything else I should look at/be aware of before emailing the rescue to inquire about fostering with them?
Anyone foster for malinois rescue? We don't have a fenced yard yet, though we may have a temporary field fence set up in the next few months, and I'm wondering if that might be an issue. I already have one jumper and Maggie was as well, so any fosters would be on leash even in a fence until I knew that they weren't inclined to climb, regardless of fence height or type (eventually we'll have a 6' privacy fence).
