ABMC Belgian Malinois Rescue - http://www.malinoisrescue.org
Rescue work is an integral part of American Belgian Malinois Club 's purpose: the betterment of the breed. The primary goals of ABMC are to protect all Belgian Malinois, prevent indiscriminate breeding and the education of Malinois owners. Rescues come into the foster program from shelters, animal control, or owners who can no longer keep their Malinois for various reasons.

   
   
 
There are many excellent Malinois who have lost their homes through no fault of their own. Divorce, moving, death, illness, or can result in the Malinois losing it's home and family. If you are considering a Malinois as a family companion these "Ready made dogs" may prove to be an excellent choice. ABMC Rescue is committed to finding new homes for Belgian Malinois being fostered. Experienced Belgian Malinois owners evaluate the foster Malinois on several levels before he can be considered a suitable candidate for adoption.
