Doe and Rae – Joyful Souls

September 29, 2012 – These 2 beautiful little girls were found at a dump in Mississippi. They were quickly taken in by Sue Sexton where they had a chance to be medically stabilized and put on a little weight before moving them to their foster homes in the north. Sue did an amazing job with them and they were dubbed Doe and Rae.
They are outgoing, spirited little things who love to chew on each others ears and wrestle and run, run, run… A foster home was finally located with Tanya Pariseau in Illinois and the search for drivers began. The first attempt at transport failed. The second wasn’t going to complete either, but we could get them all the way to Memphis and we had a very generous offer to board them in the Memphis area and catch a ride later that week up to mid-state Illinois. And so the girls departed Sue and headed north with volunteer drivers Amelia Hudson, Kirk Glessinger, Brianna Taylor, Leslye Koch and Peggy Robinson.
Peggy brought them to long-time friend Ken Blackman who opened his heart and home to these cuties for 5 days until their ride headed north to mid-state Illinois with Sheila Hoffman.
My husband and I met the pups in Mattoon IL and transported them back to northern Illinois where we spent 3 fun-filled days with these 2. Adorable, rambunctious, sweet and outgoing, these two were very attached to each other so the decision was made to split them up so they could both develop their own personalities and get ready for their own forever homes. Sharon Roundy and her husband Joe Szewculak were contacted to see if they might be interested in fostering one of the girls. They readily agreed and during the following Sunday and Monday the girls made the trip to their respective homes.
They made the transition very well and continue to grow into absolutely wonderful puppies, I really can’t say enough about their personalities and temperament. I’m sure they will be available for adoption shortly – we wish them a beautiful future filled with love and wonderful adventures.
Thank you to all the incredible people who rescued them from the dump, brought them back to health, transported, overnighted, fostered and loved these little girls. They are what it is all about.

Hello, I want to meet Doe & Rae!!!
I lost my Malinois-cross, Baby, about two months ago due to cancer. She was 11.5-years old & smarter than most people. I could give her two commands at one time & she could perform both commands even when I had forgotten them I found her as a stray in Mexico just south of the border & got her vaccinated & flew her home with me.
I own a 10-acre farm just west of Minneapolis & Baby would run at least 100-miles a day it seemed. She would lie at the end of the 150-ft drive way guarding the farm. When she was inside if a stranger came to the door she was the best protector. She had a fearsome bark & would continue barking until I told her to “stand down”. We had to bar her from the heated water bed after she punctured it with a claw; I really missed our “bed” time together after that.
From all these wonderful experiences with Baby, I very much want to meet & adopt Doe &/or Rae. I have considered a “smaller dog”, but I want the brilliance of a Malinois mind & the sense of humor. Baby made me laugh all the time.
Please contact me so I may meet these two dogs; I am willing to fly to Illinois.
All the Very Best,

I was interested in Doe or Rae. I lost my beloved Belgian Malinois Amber a year ago in April and dearly miss her. I had her for 17 wonderful years. She developed cancer which she was treated for but unfortunately complications (megaesphogus) developed and she could not survive. She is survived by 2 of her furry friends candy a jack russel (12) and brandy a german shepherd mix (13).
At some point I want to adopt another Belgian Malinois. Until than I am donating money to several rescue shelters to help them with their adoptions. I live in Indianapolis Indiana.

Sorry, I am just now seeing this message. Please check the main website. I believe Zoey (renamed) is still available. There are also numerous other wonderful dogs available. This area is not a good place to leave a message as it is not checked very often, only when I am adding a new transport. Thank you for your interest.

Hello
I am interested in a young, well rounded dog that can handle my job and people on a everyday bases. I am looking for one for training also. We have our own training center here at work.
Thank you for reading.

Rae, renamed Cadence, is sleeping on the couch with me as I write this. She has found her final home on a horse farm in Michigan with an American Water Spaniel, also a rescue dog and a couple cats and is settling in nicely. We lost 2 of our AWS last year to age related disease after many years and we were ready for a new family member. We truly are appreciative of those many volunteers who gave these pups a second chance and especially thankful that we were allowed to adopt her. Thank you everyone for your efforts and know that we will love and take good care of this dog.

I can truly attest to the fact that Cadence has found her forever home! The Henschell’s are a caring, loving couple and Cadence will have nothing but good things coming her way! Bless your “rescuing” hearts!

I did the home visit for Cadence(Rae). and found the Henschells to be the right home for her, heck they could adopt me too….a farm and people who will take her everywhere. And they are still in contact with me…love doing home visits and see our beautiful breed get the homes they deserve.
