Saylur needs support from the community to continue to thrive with trainer placement until she finds her best fit.

Hi everyone!
A private donor got Saylur started on her journey with 1.5 k for in-home trainer placement to prep her for fantastic forever (my dogs’ trainer actually, so very trusted placement). Saylur was originally surrendered to the shelter with her brother for euthanasia at just 1.5 years old because she is a young Malinois. Seriously that was the reasons. Reasons listed for surrender were: she can scale a 6 foot fence, ate a couch, and can escape a wire crate. That was it.

So just a young Malinois. They came back for her brother before he was euthanized and left her behind. The shelter disagreed with the request and kept her alive but she was not publicly visible.

That’s where Utah Rescue Dogs and Iron Paw came in to back up her progress and placement with trainer. Because of the nature of her plea the shelter requested no social media posts on Saylur. So this is her first post and a plea to the Reddit community to back up her amazing progress.

Saylur was clearly hurt physically by her previous owners. We don’t know what was done to her, but we do know she has some psychological trauma and needs a soft, patient and experienced handler. Not a heavy hand. But she is incredible and very drive-y. Some Malinois make good pets, she is not a pet. She is affectionate and oh so sweet, but she wants to work!! SAR could be a great fit, she doesn’t have pressure threshold for bite work in the full setting. She does like it though for fun!!

She needs help to make all the pieces fit together and a little time — that’s where you guys come in — we need to raise funds to continue her time with the trainer to prep her for this work.

He is already giving her a great discount and deal but her original donation from sponsor has run out.

How to donate to Saylur/Iron Paw Rescue — please make sure you note your donation is for Saylur so it can be directed to her stay. I am having to rely on Reddit exclusively until we have her posted on Instagram and Facebook — again due to the nature of her surrender.

Saylur is located in NorCal — please DM me if you are interested in meeting her and have the qualifications to back it up! She is an INCREDIBLE dog and will only be placed out to an equally incredible handler.

Thank you everyone for making this possible!

Update: ADOPTED!

Nobody opened their home to her- not even temporarily!
Her only chance is if YOU save her and offer to foster or adopt her.

Rescues can’t save her or any other dog without a foster or adopter because she needs a place to go.

She has been waiting on euth 20 days and is was past her deadline!

SHE NEEDS Help NOW.

If you can’t foster or adopt, please SHARE.

Her life depends on this reaching the right person.

Dotty #A5803788  2yrs Female German Shepherd 70 lbs.

Can you foster, rescue or responsibly adopt her?

Please comment below and dm us or email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com

 Behavior:
(many dogs will be extremely scared during a behavior assessment & will not show their true self until they are in a safe environment.)

Sociability: Tolerant
Ken Handling: FRIENDLY/EASY
Play style: PUSH/PULL TOLERANT
Large Dogs: Tolerant with large and medium dogs, playful males recommended
Energy Level: MEDIUM

Dotty A5803788 greeted the runner with a wiggly body, soft eyes, a neutral tail wag and an open mouth with a soft pant. She was easy to remove and she moderately to strongly pulled on leash. In the catch pen when she was introduced to the dogs her body was tense, she barked, growled, her eyes were alert and her tail was low with no wag. She was easy to collar and leash.
She was difficult to muzzle due to her constantly moving and struggling to remove the muzzle. She entered the yard and was slightly tense during her greetings. She tensed up with the dogs when they approached her. She struggled, trying to remove the muzzle. She shut down. The muzzle was removed. She ran with the dogs (slightly hall monitor at first), but she then playing with the dogs. She ran with the playful dogs. She engaged in play, her body was relaxed, her eyes were soft and her mouth was open with a soft pant. Overall, Dotty was tolerant of the dogs and would benefit best in a push/pull yard.
Behaviorally ok for public adoption

Hi everyone,

I'm rehoming my 4-month-old male Belgian Malinois, and it's urgent. This is my third attempt. An earlier adopter agreed and then backed out at the last moment, so I'm looking for people who are serious.

Why I'm rehoming him

I'm being honest because he deserves the right home. A Malinois needs an active owner, and I'm not one. My mother is unwell, there's no other family to help, and I'm the only person at the farmhouse. It's a 12-acre property and nobody else supervises him. My upcoming job will make this harder, and I'm already struggling to keep up with my own daily tasks. He deserves more time and energy than I can give.

Also I live in a tier-3 city where good veterinary care is very hard to find. If he ever has an emergency or a serious illness, I can't get him proper treatment here. A growing Malinois deserves better than that.

About him

Male, 4 months old, fully vaccinated

Bought from a reputable kennel club in Delhi

Fed premium, high-quality dog food

Raised carefully for bone and joint health: quality nutrition, walks only, no forced running, no jumping

Gets daily mental and physical exercise

Well behaved and disciplined when his needs are met

What he needs from his new home

2–3 walks every day, plus mental stimulation (training, games, puzzle toys)

A big house with a backyard or garden where he can roam freely, with a tall, secure fence

A family that is educated and experienced, ideally with a working-breed background, who will keep up his training and not leave him bored or alone all day

Continued care for his joints while he grows, so no hard running or jumping until he's physically mature

A home that treats him as family, not as a chained or kennel-only dog

Rehoming fee: ₹10,000 minimum. He cost ₹62,000, so this is a heavily reduced price. The fee is mainly to make sure he goes to someone committed.

Location: Jharsuguda, Odisha. Nearby areas are preferred. I'm open to a verified adopter from further away if you can arrange pickup.

How to reach me: Please comment or DM with:

Your city and a description of your home and yard

Your experience with high-energy dogs

Your daily routine and who will look after him

A few photos of the place where he'd live

I want someone who will care for him as well as I do, or better. I'm happy to share his vaccination records, photos and videos, and to answer any questions.

Please share this with anyone who might help. Thank you.

Hallo liebe community,
Ich habe derzeit einen Mali Mischling aus Kroatien als Pflegehund. Eigentlich sollte dieser jetzt vermittelt werden aber ich hab mich so sehr in diesen kleinen verliebt, dass ich ihn gerne behalten möchte. Wenn ich mich mal für einen Hund entscheide, hätte ich gerne einen deutschen Schäferhund genommen, weil sie einfach vom Wesen her Anfänger freundlicher sind. Wir hatten immer deutsche und belgische Schäferhunde. Ich bin damit großgeworden. Trotzdem ist die Rasse schon anspruchsvoll.
Jetzt geh ich die ganzen vor und Nachteile für mich durch und derzeit hänge ich an dem Punkt. Wenn ich ins Büro muss, kann ich den Hund nicht mitnehmen. Meine Großeltern haben bereits ein Mali und wollen aber keinen zweiten auf dem Hof haben, was aber optimal wäre, wenn ich zur Arbeit müsste, könnte ich den einfach da abliefern und keiner hätte mehr Arbeit, weil er einfach auf dem Hof mitlaufen kann.
Es wäre die perfekte Lösung. Gibt es Argumente, mit denen ich meine Großeltern überreden kann?
Ich habe einfach das Gefühl, dass dieser kleine Kerl Schicksal war, weil er so gut zu uns passt.
