Story
Meet Poppy the blooming beauty who is ready to plant some serious joy in your life! If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she’s giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

Story
Lucy is an 18-week-old female Belgian Malinois who weighs 20 lbs. She is a very sweet girl with lots of energy and a playful personality. Lucy loves spending time with other dogs and enjoys playing with kids, making her a fun and lively companion. Because of her high energy and enthusiastic play style, she may be a little too rough for very small children, but she would do wonderfully in an active home ready to keep up with her playful spirit. Lucy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://packleadersrescue.com/adoption-application/

Story
Meet Willow Female | Belgian Malinois Mix Willow is a smart, sensitive, and incredibly loyal girl looking for a patient, loving home where she can truly shine. The good stuff (and there’s a lot): • Potty trained and very routine-oriented • Excellent house manners — when she’s free in the home, she’s an absolute angel • Loves to follow her person around, relax on the couch, chew a bone, or sunbathe • Sleeps through the night (and would happily sleep in bed with you!) • Never tried to jump the fence • Walks beautifully on leash and excels at loose-leash/heel work • Neutral and calm around other animals (dogs, cats, chickens, birds, even cows!) • Extremely smart and highly trainable — picks up new skills fast • Would make an awesome hiking or running partner for someone active Training & personality: Willow thrives with structure and mental stimulation. She loves training and caught onto commands quickly, including sit with an automatic stay, down, patience at doors, and even “sit pretty.” She’s eager to work and clearly enjoys learning, making her a dream for someone who enjoys training and bonding through it. With other dogs: She enjoys playing with other dogs and can relax around them. She does show some mild resource guarding (food, toys, affection), such as growling or showing teeth, but it never escalated and was very manageable with supervision and boundaries. With continued training and the right home, this is something that can improve. Crating & alone time: Willow does best outside of a crate when her person is home. She can panic if crated and left alone, sometimes attempting to escape. When free in the house, she’s calm and well-behaved. A home willing to work on separation confidence or provide appropriate management would be ideal. The ideal home: Willow would thrive with: • A patient, experienced adopter • Someone active who enjoys training and bonding • A calm, structured environment • Continued positive reinforcement and confidence-building Willow is a loyal, loving dog who just needs the right person to help her feel safe and secure. In the right hands, she has the potential to be an incredible companion. If you think Willow might be your girl, she’s ready to meet you. Currently located/fostering in Texas but available with transport included. Our adoption process includes speaking with current foster/caretaker for additional personality information, pictures, video, and video call (if available). We work with trusted rescue transports that take great care of the fur babies and keep adopters and rescues in the loop the entire trip with dedicated group chats and Life360 tracking, so you know exactly how they are doing and where they are at always. Vetting: Spayed Heartworm tested negative Up to date on vaccinations On preventatives Microchipped with lifetime registration Adoption fee: $400, includes transport

Drive, Beauty, and Unflappable Composure! Meet Noni, a breathtaking Belgian Malinois mix! Noni is an athletic powerhouse with tons of energy and drive, but what sets her apart is her cool and calm presence in stressful situations. She does need someone with the ability to handle her drive and athleticism and focus her with exercise and enrichment. Found with her friend Aloha at a blazing house fire, she proved her resilience. While her home burned, she kept her cool, staying out of the way and showing incredible social manners by approaching first responders for gentle lovings—all while her tail was wagging! This girl is unbelievably beautiful and ready to devote her loyalty and intelligence to a loving, active family. Her demeanor in a crisis shows she is destined to be a steadfast and amazing companion. After remaining unclaimed by her owners afterwards, this sweetheart is now available for adoption. Give this incredible girl the stable, loving home she deserves! Currently located/fostering in Texas but available with transport included.

Story
Meet Suvi! Suvi is one of our sunshine pups and she’s bringing the energy! Suvi is a 3 month old pup believed to be a Pit Bull/Malinois mix. She came from a local accidental litter that Project Precious Rescue and another rescue stepped in to help vet and rehome. Suvi is bold, confident, and always on the move. She loves to run, jump, and play, and will need a home with athletic pitbull/shepherd or working dog experience. These pups aren’t the best fit for first-time dog owners unless you’re ready for serious commitment to training, socialization, structure, and plenty of exercise. While she isn’t extremely drive-heavy, Suvi has very high energy and can be mouthy and jumpy like many working-type puppies. She needs someone who will channel that energy with training, engagement, and structure, not just a yard. Suvi is fearless and loves rough-and-tumble play with the big dogs. She takes corrections from them well and might even have a future in parkour! Because of her enthusiastic play style (and slight wrecking ball tendencies), she would do best with active, playful dog friends rather than low-key or senior pups. She may also do fine with a savvy cat, though she hasn’t met one yet. If you think Suvi’s energy and personality would fit your lifestyle, please visit www.pprct.org and fill out an adoption application!
