Bogey

Dog • Male • 2 years • Belgian Malinois

Bogey (A5766072) is a 2-year-old male Belgian Malinois, owner-surrendered on 3/30/26 following a bite incident. Bogey can be alert and reactive in the kennel, especially when handlers turn away, showing behaviors such as barking, growling, and lunging. However, with correction and guidance, he is able to settle. He is easy to leash and handle overall, though he may pull strongly. In the yard, Bogey is social with other dogs, engaging in play and responding to corrections when needed. He has a pushy play style and would do best with appropriate dog matches. He also seeks attention from handlers and enjoys interaction. During handling, Bogey was tolerant of petting and showed no aggression, though he was slightly sensitive when his legs were handled. Due to his bite history and behavioral needs, Bogey is seeking placement with an experienced legitimate animal rescue or approved partner able to provide structure, training, and proper management. Bite incident: On March 29, 2026, a female pedestrian was bitten on her buttocks by A5766072 as she was walking past the dog owner's property. The dog reportedly ran up behind her and bit her resulting in a puncture wound. A second person was reportedly bitten shortly after the first bite however, that victim was not identified and left the scene before an ACO arrived. NFD
