My name is Sirius!

Sirius is a 1 year old Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix with brindle coloring. He is highly intelligent, loves to play fetch and be outside, and equally adores being cuddled and pet by those he is comfortable with. He is loyal, goofy, and an exceptional dog. Due to his intelligence and breed, training will be essential to keep his brain stimulated and to help him improve his confidence. He would be best suited in a home with someone who has experience owning this breed or similar and/or is experienced in dog training/has access to adequate training. He already is housebroken, understands some basic commands, and is eager to please anyone he meets. He does not bark or react to any household noises. He is uncomfortable meeting new people at first and has a tendency to snap to express discomfort but is able to overcome his fears relatively quickly. He is a big softie and is looking for a home that can help him become the best version of himself.
