Meet Rosa, a 1 year old Malinois girl looking for a truly suitable home in the Netherlands, Germany, or Belgium. Rosa is incredibly affectionate and people focused. She loves cuddles and closeness and would happily be attached to you all day if she could. While she has that typical Malinois enthusiasm and drive, her biggest thing is connection. She is the kind of dog who wants to be included in everything and she thrives when she has attention, structure, and a steady routine.

Rosa is the type of dog who bonds deeply and takes her role seriously. Once you are her person, you are her world. She can be naturally protective of her family in that loyal Malinois way, devoted, watchful, and always wanting to be close. With the right guidance, that devotion becomes something really special. A dog who is not only affectionate, but truly has your back.

She enjoys playtime and running and she lights up when she gets to do things with her person. She is friendly with other dogs and enjoys being social, but like all young Malinois she still needs guidance, calm leadership, and training to help her grow into a balanced adult dog.

Why Rosa is Awesome

• Not aggressive and very affectionate
• Deeply devoted and bonds strongly to her people
• Naturally protective of her family
• Very people focused and loves closeness
• Friendly with people and social with other dogs
• Playful, enthusiastic, and loves to run
• Thrives with routine, attention, and being included
• Vaccinated and Microchipped

What she’s looking for

Rosa will do best in an active home that is committed and consistent. She needs daily exercise and mental stimulation, but just as importantly she needs structure and clear guidance so she can feel secure and learn what is expected. She is still young and learning, so a home that enjoys training and is willing to build good habits from the start will be the perfect match for her.

Important to know

Very little leash experience, so walking nicely on leash still needs to be taught
Not completely toilet trained yet, so this will be a fresh start from the beginning
We do not know how she is with cats yet, so only reach out if you are willing to introduce and test safely and slowly

About Malinois, honest but important

Malinois are brilliant dogs but they are not an easy breed. They need a combination of mental work, physical exercise, and structure every single day. Without that, they can become overstimulated, frustrated, and start creating their own jobs like destructive behaviour, obsessive habits, or reactivity.

Rosa will thrive in a home that enjoys training, gives her daily structure, and also gives her the affection and closeness she loves. In return, she will give you everything. Devotion, loyalty, and that intense once in a lifetime bond Malinois are known for.
