ape&bean’s mission is to unite dog lovers.

We are passionate for Malinois, Tervurens, Laekenois,
Groenendaels, Dutch and German Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds, Working Dogs, and Sport Dogs.

We rescue.

Diversity: all breeds, mixes, and mutts welcome.
Kya serves serious mohawk energy every day.
That tiny tuft of fur on her head? It's been there since she was a pup.

She's a happy, nervous girl.

Moody Malinois Shelby teasing her little brother.

How old is Koa? She looks so much like our Shelby.

My Malinois Shelby has Happy Tail too. There was no real way to wrap it, so we’d stop the bleeding. Then she break it open again spraying blood everywhere: walls, doors, appliances, our clothes; everywhere.
We tried different things like pool noodles, etc. but nothing worked except time.

This is Kya! She’s 7.

We have a German Shepherd named Kya!
She has four Malinois brothers and sisters.

Sasha looks very spunky!

Malcolm can not believe what is happening.

Mavis has a stunning #ShepherdSnoot!

Kermit couldn’t resist showing off his snoot too, just for Mavis and all of you.

Let’s make this a full-on snoot appreciation thread!

Drop your pups’ snoots below; we need ALL the snoots!

Today is a resting day for Malcolm. He has declared it so.

What kind of day is it for your pups?

Malcolm woke up to take a nap.

Meet Kermit, our one-year-old Malinois and self-proclaimed shoemaker.
He proudly submits his entry in the #DestructionDiaries: transforming a simple shoe into a modern clog.

Kermit is truly the best boy... unless you’re a shoe.

Meet Kermit. He’s the best boy.

Just too many...
It is the hardest thing we go through with our pets; I wish they could live forever.

Here are pictures of four: Fender, a mal mix, Frankie, a mal mix, Lily Bean, a Golden Retriever, and Luka, a Silky Terrier.

All were the best boys and girls.

Bella’s recovery plan involves becoming an expert in Advanced Lounging and Longing.
She’s missing wrestling with her pack, but healing isn’t just rest, it’s also patience.

A reminder that progress comes in unseen steps and perseverance is key, even when the goal feels far away.

This is Shelby. She is a hurricane and the best girl.

Meet Bella, Malcolm, and Shelby: three of our Malinois.

He is absolutely the best boy, and they are definitely the best girls.

This is Malcolm. He is the best boy.
December 9, 2024 at 8:23 PM
Thanks for the love!
Poor Hannah—storms and Mals are aren't a good combo. She must have been so scared!
Two backdoors entered in the #destructiondiaries!
We had our back door frame clawed apart over the 4th of July when all the fireworks were going off all around.
I hate the panic it causes in them.

Her body is healing, her heart is full, and her ball is always in her mouth.
Bella reminds us that healing is better when you hold on to what you love.

Dogs have a way of teaching us what really matters. What has your pup reminded you about life lately?

Six Prime Rib steaks?!?!
Smudge took Machiavellian strategy to the next level—calculated and absolutely no regrets (well, maybe a little... though her face shows pure ecstasy).

My Shelby once ate 24 raw bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, including toothpicks.

Was your dinner officially ruined?

When we adopted our first Malinois, at 6 months old, he showed his creative side by dragging our brand-new couch cushions out the doggy door.

Feathers. Everywhere. For. YEARS.
