Welcome
This program aims to eliminate unwanted factors by giving dogs the one-on-one attention and training they will need. MCK does not stop there, understanding the dog is only half the battle when it comes to a successful and long lasting adoption.
About MCK Rescue Program
Additional Information
Dogs are man's and woman's best friend, thriving together in mutual companionship. Over many years of volunteering with rescues and working as a dog trainer, I've found that the number one complaint is the complexity of the adoption process. The paperwork, background checks, waitlists, and unknown factors of adopting a rescue pup can be daunting. While it's crucial to vet potential adopters to protect our four-legged companions, we at MCK believe in a more personalized approach that ensures both the safety of the dogs and the satisfaction of the adopters.
By maintaining a small number of dogs in our care, the MCK team can efficiently and effectively process the numerous applications we receive. This allows us to match dogs with their forever homes more quickly while maintaining high standards of care.
At MCK, every rescue dog receives formal training during their stay with us. We focus on teaching basic commands, potty training, and, if time allows, off-leash work to protection. We also address behavioral issues that might otherwise lead to euthanasia in the shelter system.
(However we will NEVER adopt out an aggressive dog to the public)
Our adoption fees range from $550 to over $1500 sometimes more, depending on the level of training the dog has received. When you adopt from MCK, you're investing in a well-trained pup and gaining a support team dedicated to your success.
Adopters benefit from
* 30% discount for boarding and training services,
* free 24/7 training and nutrition support via text or email for the life of the dog.
* Starter bag of food the dog was being fed
* Fully vetted before adoption
All potential adopters must complete an application and sign a contract before adopting. Each pup comes with a detailed cheat sheet on their behavior, training tips, and a nutrition guide.
We pour our hearts into ensuring our dogs are the best they can be once adopted. If you have specific questions, we are transparent about each dog's behavior and ideal living situation.
Our goal is to help as many dogs as possible. The system is overwhelmed, but programs like ours provide peace of mind to adopters and ensure that more dogs find and remain in loving homes.
We currently adopt out to all 50 states and canada with initial meet and greet...Transport is available for extra fee.
About Our Dogs for Adoption
MEET Draco
🐾 Meet Draco! 🐾
The Belgian Malinois… in a Labrador's body! 🐶💤
Draco is the perfect pup for literally anyone — whether you're a first-time dog owner, a couple looking for a chill companion, or a family ready to add a loyal buddy to the mix!
Unlike your typical high-energy Malinois, Draco is an overweight lab in disguise — low to medium energy, totally content after a good hour of play with his ball or doggy pals. He even learned how to politely trot alongside a scooter (but don’t expect a marathon… he’ll be napping shortly after! 😴)
🎬 His dream night? Cuddled up on the couch, watching movies with his favorite humans.
✅ Great with kids, adults, men, women, and other dogs.
💼 Bonus: He’d make a fantastic helper dog for a trainer or boarding facility!
Ready to meet the sweetest "Malinois" you'll ever meet?
📩 Reach out today and come say hi to Draco!
Dracos Fee: $650

MEET Milo aka Jack in the box
Meet Milo (Nicknamed Jack Jack)
Jack came to us through no fault of his own. His previous adopters, unfortunately, didn’t have the skill or energy levels to meet his needs, especially with the arrival of a new baby. Instead of Jack being sent to a loud, overcrowded shelter where he might have struggled to find a second chance, we welcomed him into our program to ensure he gets the care and opportunities he deserves.
From the notes left by his previous adopters, Jack has spent time around young children, including an autistic, nonverbal child, with whom he did wonderfully. They emphasized his gentle and patient nature with kids, but we will, of course, test him ourselves to confirm his comfort levels and reactions in different scenarios.
Jack does well meeting new people but needs a little time to warm up, especially in unfamiliar situations. While he can be a bit nervous initially, he has never shown any signs of aggression during his time with us or his previous family.
We haven’t had Jack in our care for long, so his personality is still unfolding as he settles in. So far, he’s shown himself to be curious yet indifferent to other dogs. He observes them playing but hasn’t fully joined in.
Training and Behavior
Jack needs work on leash walking, as he was previously walked on a harness, which led to some pulling. However, we’re confident we can correct this easily with proper training. His obedience is basic—he knows commands like "sit," but he would benefit from more foundational training to improve his skills and responsiveness.
Jack’s Ideal Home
- A moderately active family or individual who enjoys outdoor activities like fetch or frisbee.
- Someone who loves hiking or exploring—Jack seems to thrive in adventurous environments.
- He would make an excellent running partner for someone with a fitness-focused lifestyle.
- Jack shows potential for excelling in agility or disc dog competitions, given his energy and athleticism.
It’s currently winter, so we haven’t had the chance to test Jack’s interest in water, but his adventurous spirit suggests he might enjoy it come warmer weather.
Jack is a wonderful dog with so much potential. As we continue to learn more about him and his personality, we’ll keep updating his progress. If you think you’re the right match for Jack, reach out to us to meet this incredible boy!
How does this sound? Would you like me to add or adjust anything?

Rescued Puppies For Adoption
Meet Savannah
🐾 Meet Savannah! 🐾
💃 The Sporty Sister with a Heart of Gold 💛
Savannah is a 9-month-old Belgian Malinois pup who’s ready to find her forever family — and trust us, she’s been training for this moment since day one! While her brother Draco prefers Netflix and snuggles, Savannah was the first to play, chase, tug, and dive into life head-on from the moment they were rescued.
This girl has drive, brains, and bounce! 💥
She’d thrive in a home with:
- 🏃♀️ An active person or family (especially one into hiking, agility, or dog sports)
- 🎾 Older kids who love to run, throw balls, or splash in the water with her
- 🧠 A trainer or experienced handler looking for a motivated working prospect
🚨 She’s got agility dog written all over her, and she’s a natural water lover — think dock diving, frisbee, or just living her best sporty dog life.
Savannah is sweet with people, gets along well with other dogs, and is still young enough to mold into the superstar she’s destined to be. She deserves a home that will keep her body moving and her mind growing — she’ll give back tenfold in love, loyalty, and laughs. 🐶❤️
📩 If you're ready to meet your new training partner, adventure buddy, or family MVP — Savannah is waiting!

Meet Bonzi
🐾 Meet Bonzai! 🐾
💖 The Runt with the Biggest Heart
Bonzai may have been the smallest in the litter, but his heart? Absolutely massive. This 9-month-old Belgian Malinois pup is a total mushball — soft, gentle, affectionate, and easy-going in all the best ways. If you’re looking for your first dog, a calm family companion, or even a potential therapy dog, Bonzai could be your perfect match. 🐶✨
🌼 He’s the definition of laid-back — happy to hang out, cuddle on the couch, or gently follow you around the house like a shadow. While his siblings are off playing, Bonzai is the one making quiet eye contact, waiting for love and belly rubs.
He’d thrive in a home with:
- 🏡 A couple starting a family
- 🧸 A gentle household with older kids
- 🫶 Someone looking for a calm, connected dog to bond with
- 🧑⚕️ A trainer or handler looking to develop a therapy or helper dog
Bonzai is amazing with other dogs, all people, and kids. He’s patient, soulful, and built for love, not speed — and at just 9 months old, he's still moldable for whatever path you want to explore together.
Adoption Fee $500
📩 Ready to meet the sweetest Malinois you’ve ever met? Bonzai is waiting to be your best friend — let’s make it happen!
Adopt The Puppies
🖤 The Magnificent Three 🐾
Draco, Savannah & Bonzai – Rescued, Recovered, and Ready for Forever 🏡
These three incredible pups are part of a heartwarming local rescue effort that began when word spread about a backyard breeder on Long Island looking to discard a litter of underweight Belgian Shepherd puppies.
Without hesitation, My Canine’s Keeper (MCK) stepped in, working alongside several amazing local rescue partners. Of the six neglected pups, three found their way into our care — Draco, Savannah, and Bonzai — and we’ve poured our hearts into helping them blossom into healthy, confident, and loving companions.
Each one has a unique personality and their own ideal home, but they all share one thing in common:
💫 They are so ready for a second chance. 💫
Whether you're a first-time dog owner, a sport dog enthusiast, or a family looking to grow — one of these pups might just be your perfect match.
