Adopt a Greyhound / Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed

SPONSORED FEE: Kasey's Adoption Fee has been sponsored. 

Hi, my name is Kasey. I came into my foster home emaciated, full of parasites, with an extremely bad UTI. It's taken me awhile to get back to health, but I'm doing so much better! We don't know how long I actually had a UTI that was left untreated, but due to this, I do leak urine. We are currently still working along side the vet to see if this will be a life long issue.

I was very loving and friendly when I came into my foster home, but I was very withdrawn. I have come so far! I am still skittish because of some things that must have happened to me in my past. I don't care for garbage trucks, or thunder, and when my 10 year old human brother gets rowdy with his toy weapons and such, I get very nervous. However, I have never growled or attempted to bite anyone. I just go hide by my foster Mom when I get nervous or scared.

I love to play with my foster sister who is an Airedale Terrier. We play great together and have a lot of fun! We are great buddies! I would love a home with a very friendly buddy that gets along with everyone as I do.

I really do need a fenced yard. I do have greyhound in me, and if I got loose, I would probably make it very far away in a short time! I walk pretty well on a leash, and I will go potty on leash. I also need to have a martingale collar kept on me, because like a greyhound, I can slip a collar easily. My neck is wider than my head.

I didn't really care for the crate for a long time. Maybe this was because of being stuck in the cage at animal control. My foster Mom has worked with me, and I am much better. I am crated when the family leaves the house. At night, I will sleep on my dog bed, on the bedroom floor all night long with no problems.

I am very smart! I already knew how to sit,lay down, and shake. My foster Mom says that someone could probably train me to do much more!

I have MANY greyhound traits! If you've ever been around a greyhound, when you meet me, you'll see exactly what I mean! My Mom thinks my most prominent Belgian Malinois trait is my bond to one person in the home. Which is my foster Mom! Don't get me wrong, I love everyone else too, she just happens to be my favorite! Oh, and I have a big, tuff bark! I will surely scare someone away if you need me to! I do like to be a bit bossy to my Airedale sister sometimes. If she starts barking, I will go put her in her place. I sound like I'm being mean to her, but I don't hurt her, I just try to tell her to knock it off! Luckily, she's as friendly as she is, and just tries to ignore me. Mom gets after me when I do this, and I'm getting a bit better with it.

I don't think I would like a very loud and busy house. When it gets like that here sometimes, I get very nervous and worried. Mom thinks that maybe I was in a home with a lot of fighting and violence. Sometimes I'm not sure if people are playing or fighting, and it makes me very scared. Mom reassures me that everything is OK, and makes everyone calm down.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Mom stays at home! I'm lucky because now that my big sister is off to college, and my 10 year old brother is back in school, I get a lot of time with Mom! I don't have to go in that crate too often!

So far, I've been great with dogs my size and smaller dogs, we aren't sure about cats, because we don't have any. Mom thinks I would probably be OK, but could possibly need some correction.

When we go on car rides, I ride VERY well. In fact, I usually lay down and go to sleep!

If you want to know more about me, ask Mom, she knows a lot about me!
