Zalinka

Zalinka is an 18-24 month old malinois mix. She was an unclaimed stray from a Modesto shelter so nothing is known of her background. At less than 30 lbs, she resembles a mini or toy Malinois.

It appears she may have been a couch queen in her prior home as she is housebroken (although has not mastered the use of a doggy door) but not used to strenuous play at the moment. Regular exercise and conditioning should help her with her stamina and muscle tone. In her current foster home, she is living with two large dogs and one small dog about her size. She plays well with the small dog in the house.

Any inappropriate behavior has been managed with a quick correction. Zalinka is affectionate and wants to be near her person. Loud noises, such as school buses, garbage trucks and motorcycles make her nervous. She sleeps quietly in the crate at night, loves to go for walks, rides in the car and playing in the water at the lake. Continued training and socialization will go a long way with this big girl in a small package.

Cats and small critters unknown.

This is a Level 2 Dog
