Meet Ocean! A569518. Regal 6yo female Belgian Malinois who has been waiting for her second chance since 4/29/26. Ocean is a beautiful, friendly girl who becomes even sweeter once she warms up to you. She loves being outside and seems happiest when she can stretch her legs and explore the world around her. Every toy in the big pen received a thorough inspection ??. She is easy to leash, and walks nicely on leash. Ocean knows sit and will take treats gently. She also appears to be house-trained and will potty outside right away. Like many working breeds, Ocean is struggling with shelter life. Spending most of the day in a small kennel has led to signs of kennel stress. She currently has a privacy screen to help reduce stress. Outside of the kennel environment, she is much easier to engage with and connect to. With shelter construction ramping up, Ocean's world may become even smaller and more stressful. Reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYrzQ5yu0NX/ Ocean has not yet participated in playgroup, so her compatibility with other dogs is still unknown. She would thrive with someone who understands the needs of intelligent, active working breeds and can give her the structure, enrichment, and decompression she's been missing in the shelter. If you're looking for a loyal companion and are willing to give her the time and space to settle in, Ocean may be the perfect fit. ? Please note: The shelter can be a stressful and scary place, and a dog's behavior here may not fully reflect how they'll blossom once they feel safe and decompressed at home. Ocean is located for adoption or foster at: Prince George's County Animal Services 3750 Brown Station Rd Upper Marlboro, MD 20772
