***THIS IS A COURTESY POST*** For adoption info please contact amy.cohen@mcprescue.org Location: Los Angeles Mush is a handsome 5-year-old 55lbs Belgian Malinois mix with a striking tan and tricolor coat! Apple thief. Soft-hearted introvert. Certified silly goose once you’re in the inner circle. Mush is the kind of dog who watches first, decides later, and then, once he trusts you, steals your snack and trots away like it was always part of the plan. Great with dogs. He’s still shy with new people. Still taking his time. Still reading the room before entering it. But don’t mistake that for a lack of personality. This boy is deeply goofy in private. A little weird (the good kind). Full of playful side-quests once he feels safe—zoomies, toy debates, and opportunistic fruit crimes included. Mush doesn’t burst through doors. He opens them gently. And when he does, what you find is a dog who is sweet, funny, observant, and quietly devoted to his people. He’s looking for a home that understands slow builds and big payoffs. A home that laughs when the apples go missing. A home that knows trust is something you earn—and then get rewarded for daily. Mush is still becoming himself. And honestly? Watching that happen has been one of the best parts.

Mixed Breed

🧠 Temperament

Don’t mistake that for a lack of personality. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.

🎾 Exercise

Full of playful side-quests once he feels safe—zoomies, toy debates, and opportunistic fruit crimes included. Depends on the individual.

✂️ Grooming

Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
