Story
Introducing Roux: A 4-year-old Belgian Malinois mix with an old soul and a loyal heart Roux asks for some patience with getting comfortable in new environments, but once you’re in his circle of trust, you’ll quickly learn that this dog is pure gold. Inside the home, Roux is the definition of polite. He’s calm, tidy, and has impeccable manners. He’ll quietly sit near you with his legs adorably crossed, checking in to see whether it’s cuddle time or independent time. And if you’re busy? He’ll simply walk away and settle himself. He even sleeps peacefully in his own bed at night and won’t disturb you until you wake, then he’ll greet you with soft eyes and a happy tail. He isn’t destructive, listens beautifully, and will stop barking the moment he’s asked. Truly, the goodest boy. Roux thrives with daily activity like walks, enrichment, and lots of play. His absolute favorite activity? Playing keep away with one of his stuffed toys! He even has his own fan club of shelter volunteers who love taking him for walks—his excitement and joy are contagious. A secure yard would be a dream for this boy to stretch his legs and enjoy his playful spirit. Because Roux communicates and explores the world with his mouth (gently, without pressure), he needs a home that understands and respects his communication style. He is ideally looking for the following environment: ✔️Adult-only household ✔️Experienced dog owner ✔️Willing to be patient with Roux to earn his trust Roux has successfully lived with an 8 lb chiweenie, a senior corgi mix, and a senior pittie with proper introductions—proof he can absolutely coexist with the right canine companions. Once Roux bonds with you, he becomes deeply affectionate, loyal, and content. You may even find him sitting like a regal sentinel in a chair (his preferred throne), quietly watching over his home and the people he loves. Roux isn’t looking for just any adopter—he’s waiting for his person. Someone gentle, patient, kind, and willing to go slow. In return, he’ll give you unwavering companionship, connection, and a love that feels earned and extra special. If you’re looking for a deeply devoted dog who will adore you once you’ve earned his trust, Roux might just be your soul dog. Interested in meeting him?
