For a while now, we have watched ND (New Dawn Malinois so NOT a Rescue) sell a curated, feel-good version of rescue work.
But what happens when the lights go off and the social media filters fade?
Sweep their wrong doings under the carpet, Easy: manufacture some drama, blame an “online troll,” or wheel out a distraction dog in a hi-vis vest. It is rescue theatre at its finest—lights, camera, deflection. Just do not ask for receipts, records, or responsibility…
Behind the “adopted to forces” rhetoric lies a questionable pipeline of vulnerable working dogs passed off as PR success stories—without proper long-term follow-up or transparency.
In reality very few or NO forces or HMPPS will associate with ND for varying reasons and past behaviour.
ND has promoted trainers who openly use prong collars and e-collars—while simultaneously claiming to oppose them. Mixed messages do not build trust; they breed confusion and cover-ups. Hiding behind closed groups does not build trust: What exactly have they got to HIDE?
Frequent funding pleas, but zero published financial reports. Rescue is not a charity case—it is a responsibility.
Accountability matters when dogs’ lives are at stake.
The dogs advertised as often arrive with serious behavioural baggage.
Calling high-drive working breeds "pet home potentials" without structured support? without decent and ongoing behavioural support and training.
That is not rescue. That is Russian roulette.
Former adopters, fosters, and volunteers have shared concerns—but they are quickly blocked or gaslit.
A transparent rescue does not silence its past. It learns from it.
There are rescues doing it right. ND just is not one of them.
Where are the follow-up welfare checks?
Who is evaluating these adopters—and how? —What are their qualifications?
Why are financials not shared publicly?
You deserve the whole truth, not a polished marketing reel. This is not about drama.
It is about dog welfare, ethics, and rescuing responsibly.
New Dawn Malinois Rescue (NDMR) presents itself as a dedicated, volunteer-run organization committed to rescuing and rehoming Belgian Malinois dogs. Their website and associated GoFundMe campaigns emphasize their mission, the challenges of the breed, and their need for financial support.!
However, it is essential to approach such narratives with a critical eye. While ND portrays a noble mission, there are concerns and criticisms from various quarters. For instance, discussions on social media forums have mentioned negative reports about the organization.
We would welcome any information the public would come forward with.
Even more troubling, no public apology or correction was made. The dogs involved were weaponised for views, then vanished from updates. We still ask: what happened to them?
With dog attacks on the rise in the UK, this video has been flagged by world-renowned trainers as a textbook case of what not to do. Yet ND keeps it buried.
The real question: how did they dodge charges — and why has no one held them accountable?
ND is well-known — and widely avoided — for their relentless takedowns of others’ mistakes. But when the spotlight turns on them? It’s deflection, deletion, and dead silence.
Hypocrisy is not just their pattern — it is their brand.
However when it is their own mess? Suddenly, the spotlight vanishes and the silence is deafening.
To this day no one knows what happened to the dogs pooof!
Mistake number one? That is on the pound.
Let’s hear a big, sarcastic round of applause for Sheffield Council Dog Pound, whose brilliant decision was handing Hannah over to ND.
That move set the stage for everything that followed — and not in a good way.
Mistake number two? Sending an unassessed dog straight into the arms of ND’s go-to foster — aka the “any foster will do” program.
Multiple dogs, minimal experience, zero prep — but ND pushed, and they caved. The result? No decompression, no structure, no real training. Just a ticking time bomb. That bite wasn’t a surprise — it was inevit

In the end, Hannah was euthanised. ND tried to cover it up — deny, deflect, delete — but the truth came out.
Hannah did not deserve that ending. None of the dogs they have used, dumped, and silenced ever do.
Hannah was just one more victim of a cycle ND refuses to admit even exists.
Hannah was dead the next day.
This is the kind of training ND deems acceptable.
IT IS NOT.
And honestly — we would love to know: why do you, the public, the ND cheerleaders, think this is okay?
Any decent trainers out there willing to speak up? Or are you all too scared to rock the boat? (as there is at least one or two we can think of)
This dog has since vanished into ND's black hold of cycle breeding - with pups conveniently rebranded as 'found'[ or funnelled straight into the gutter of the so called 'Security Dog'
