About

Meet Lorcan Woodley - SC

Lorcan, in keeping with his name’s meaning “little fierce one,”  has transformed into the  Malinois he was meant to be! Through a lot of love and patience from his foster and the ABMR community rallying around him. Are you the person to continue the work his wonderful foster began? Lorcan came into ABMR malnourished at only 31.4 lbs, but he is a happy 70 ish pounds at his last vet visit. Now that he is in good health and his treatment has concluded, he is very much a typical Malinois! He will need continued patience as he can startle with sudden, loud sounds, but he loves to howl at sirens. Lorcan thrives on routine for feeding and potty time, so if you love a good regimen, Lorcan is your man! He would be good with kids 8 and older who are dog savvy. No younger children will be considered as he is still working on controlling his Malinois mouthiness, and he does have enough prey drive to chase anything that runs. Lorcan gets along with other dogs as long as a human is there to set boundaries after very controlled introductions . He is pushy with less neutral or passive dogs, but he will shy away from the dominant ones. He has fun playing with most of the big dogs in his foster home. Lorcan is crate trained, loves to take himself for a walk by holding his leash in his mouth , and he loves a few moments of zoomies.   Just make sure you have not left important items like your favorite shoes lying around for him to zoom with! He has mastered sit, stay, down, and wait with his foster family. Lorcan still exhibits some puppy-like behaviors and can be a bit stubborn until he trusts you, but once he does he will snuggle you all day. Velcro, anyone?    Original Notes: Lorcan was found as a stray in Atlanta, Georgia. He weighed only 31.4 lbs.  at an estimated age of 3 years, heartworm positive, and hair loss around the neck as if he'd been chained. He will be coming into rescue for treatment and recovery.
